Timelines & Pricing 

Timelines & Pricing (Scope-Dependent)
Small room-by-room rewiring often completes in a few days; whole-home projects vary by square footage, access, and finish work. Final pricing depends on device counts, AFCI/GFCI, panel capacity upgrades, and patch/paint scope. We provide a written, permit-ready estimate after assessment.

Choosing the Right Materials & Add-Ons

Copper vs. Aluminum

While aluminum meets code, Farashi Electric specifies 12 AWG copper for branch circuits—40 % better conductivity and fewer loose-lug callbacks.

Aluminum & Knob-and-Tube: What We Do

We evaluate aluminum branch circuits for heat-related failures and use listed remediation (e.g., AlumiConn/COPALUM) or full rewiring as appropriate. For knob-and-tube, we replace brittle runs, add grounding, and bring outlets to modern safety (AFCI/GFCI where required), keeping finishes neat.

Low-Voltage Wiring

• Cat-6 data runs for streaming & work-from-home.
• Coax RG-6 for 4K video distribution.
• 18/2 landscape lighting spurs to garden boxes—bundled now to avoid trenching later.

Code & Safety Essentials 

• AFCI & GFCI: Bedrooms/living areas commonly require AFCI; kitchens, bathrooms, garages, outdoor and laundry areas need GFCI (local adoption applies).
• Tamper-Resistant Outlets: Use TR receptacles in dwelling areas for child safety.
• Grounding & Bonding: Correct equipment grounding and bonding (water/gas, metal raceways) are verified and upgraded where needed.
• Labeling & Torque: Breakers/neutral/ground bars are labeled, and all terminations are torqued to manufacturer spec.
• Box Fill & Cable Protection: Boxes sized per box-fill rules; cables protected at entries and along framing.

Permits & Local Rules (Los Angeles)

In the City of Los Angeles (LADBS) and LA County, electrical work typically requires a permit and final inspection. Straightforward residential rewiring often goes through express/online permitting, while larger scope (service changes, multi-unit, structural impacts) may need plan review. We confirm your Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ), pull the permit, and schedule inspection before energizing.
