Rewiring & Wiring Replacement in Newmarket
Rewiring Newmarket's Heritage & Mid-Century Homes
The character homes surrounding Old Town, Main Street and Fairy Lake are among the oldest in York Region, and many still hide original knob-and-tube behind their walls, while 1960s and 70s pockets in Bristol and Glenway were often built with aluminum branch wiring. Both are frequent reasons Newmarket homeowners get a warning letter, a coverage refusal or a conditional close during a sale.
We remove and replace outdated wiring with modern copper, updating devices, junctions and grounding so your home meets today's code. AM Services Inc. is ECRA/ESA-licensed (#7012319), and every rewire is permitted and ESA-inspected, giving you the documentation insurers ask for. Because scope varies wall to wall in these older homes, we quote each rewire by project after a thorough free assessment.

Newmarket FAQs
Wiring Replacement in Newmarket — Common Questions
Is my Newmarket home insurance being denied because of knob-and-tube wiring?
It's common. Many insurers won't cover Newmarket century homes near Old Town with active knob-and-tube, and some flag aluminum wiring too. We rewire to copper and provide the ESA inspection paperwork insurers typically require to reinstate coverage.
Does my insurance require knob & tube or aluminum wiring to be replaced?
Many Ontario insurers now require it, or charge more without remediation. We provide the ESA paperwork insurers typically ask for.
Do I have to rewire the whole house at once?
Not always — sometimes a targeted replacement or approved aluminum remediation is enough. We'll assess and recommend the safest, most cost-effective plan.
How disruptive is rewiring?
We plan the least-invasive route and keep drywall cuts to a minimum. We'll explain exactly what to expect before we start.
Is aluminum wiring dangerous?
The wiring itself is less the issue than the connections, which can loosen and overheat. Proper replacement or approved remediation makes it safe.
