Wiring Upgrades & Whole-Home Rewiring in Shreveport & Bossier City

Safe, Code-Compliant Electrical Modernization

Your home’s wiring is the foundation of your electrical system. If it is outdated, damaged, or undersized, everything connected to it is at risk.

Frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, warm outlets, or buzzing appliances are not minor inconveniences. They are warning signs.

At Platinum Home Services, we provide professional wiring upgrades and whole-home rewiring in Shreveport, Bossier City, Benton, Blanchard, Haughton, and surrounding communities.

When Is It Time for a Wiring Upgrade?

Many homes in the Shreveport area were built before modern electrical demands existed. Today’s households run:

• Multiple televisions
• Computers and routers
• Smart home systems
• EV chargers
• High-efficiency HVAC systems
• Large kitchen appliances

Older wiring systems were not designed to handle this load.

You may need a wiring upgrade if you notice:

• Breakers tripping regularly
• Lights dimming when appliances run
• Warm switches or outlets
• Aluminum wiring
• Knob-and-tube wiring
• Two-prong outlets
• Fuse boxes instead of breaker panels
• Burning or fishy smells

If your home is over 30–40 years old and has never been updated, an inspection is strongly recommended.

Wiring Inspection Services

Electrical issues are often hidden behind walls.

Our wiring inspections identify:

• Frayed or deteriorated conductors
• Loose connections
• Overloaded circuits
• Improper grounding
• Aluminum branch wiring
• Code violations
• Panel capacity limitations

After inspection, we provide clear recommendations. Sometimes a targeted repair is sufficient. In other cases, a full wiring upgrade is the safest long-term solution.

Aluminum Wiring Upgrades

Aluminum wiring was commonly installed in homes during the 1960s and 1970s. Over time, it expands and contracts more than copper, creating loose connections and overheating risks.

We provide:

• Aluminum-to-copper remediation
• Approved connector upgrades
• Full branch circuit replacement when needed

Upgrading aluminum wiring significantly reduces fire risk and improves long-term reliability.

Whole-Home Rewiring in Shreveport

If your home has extensive outdated wiring, full rewiring may be the safest and most efficient option.

Whole-home rewiring involves:

• Removing outdated conductors
• Installing modern copper wiring
• Upgrading grounding systems
• Expanding circuit capacity
• Adding outlets to meet modern needs
• Bringing the system up to current code

During rewiring projects, we often evaluate and upgrade:

• Electrical panels
• Surge protection systems
• Generator connections
• Meter bases
• Dedicated appliance circuits

This is also the ideal time to add smart switches, USB outlets, and EV charging infrastructure.

Benefits of Upgrading Your Wiring

Why Professional Rewiring Matters

Rewiring is not a handyman project.

Improper wiring can cause:

• Electrical fires
• Appliance damage
• Failed inspections
• Insurance claim denials
• Shock hazards

All Platinum Home Services wiring projects are performed to NEC and Louisiana code standards.

We size circuits properly, verify load calculations, and ensure your panel can safely support the upgraded system.
