Per-Unit Co-op & Apartment Rewires
When a Bronx co-op or rental turns over or gets renovated, we bring that unit's wiring up to code — grounded outlets, AFCI/GFCI, new circuits — while keeping the rest of the building live.

Wiring & Rewiring in The Bronx
The Bronx is a borough of pre-war apartment buildings, co-ops and 1-2 family homes — much of it still running on fuse-era, ungrounded branch wiring that no modern inspector or insurer will accept. Precision Power rewires Bronx homes and buildings, from a single unit's circuits to a whole-building upgrade.

Why Bronx Buildings & Homes Need Rewiring
The Bronx grew up around the apartment building. Pre-war multi-family blocks and co-op buildings line the Grand Concourse, Fordham and Kingsbridge, while 1-2 family homes fill Riverdale, Pelham Bay, Throgs Neck and Morris Park. A lot of that housing was wired in the fuse era — ungrounded circuits, two-prong outlets and aging branch runs that were never meant to carry a modern apartment's load.
That creates two very different jobs in the same borough. In an occupied building, the work is usually per-unit circuit upgrades — bringing one apartment's wiring up to code when it turns over, gets renovated, or simply trips and overheats once too often. We replace ungrounded runs, add grounded outlets and AFCI/GFCI, and keep the rest of the building live while we do it.
The other job is the building or whole-home rewire — retiring fuse-panel-era wiring across an entire multi-family house or small building. Old, damaged wiring is a leading cause of electrical fires, and it's exactly what fails inspection and blocks an insurance certificate. We file with the DOB, coordinate the Con Edison side, and rewire on a schedule that keeps tenants safe and the building compliant.

What's Different Here
Rewiring That's Specific to The Bronx
From a single co-op unit to a whole pre-war building, Bronx wiring work has its own rhythm. Here's where our local experience shows up.
Fuse-Era & Ungrounded Wiring
Pre-war Bronx homes still run on fuse-panel-era, ungrounded branch wiring. We retire it and run modern grounded copper, clearing the way for inspection and your insurance certificate.
Whole-Building Multi-Family Rewires
For 1-2 family homes and small buildings, we rewire across every unit on a phased schedule — filed and inspected through the DOB — so the whole property meets current code at once.

"Our Pelham Bay two-family was still on the old fuse-era wiring, and one unit's outlets kept overheating. Precision Power rewired both apartments unit by unit, grounded everything, and handled the DOB filing — all without ever shutting the whole house down."

The Bronx Wiring Questions
Wiring & Rewiring in The Bronx — FAQs
Can you rewire just one apartment in my Bronx building?
Yes — per-unit rewires are some of the most common work we do in the Bronx. When a co-op or rental turns over or gets renovated, we bring that one unit up to code with grounded outlets and AFCI/GFCI, keeping the rest of the building powered.
My pre-war Bronx home still has fuses and two-prong outlets — is that dangerous?
Fuse-era, ungrounded wiring is exactly what makes older homes a fire risk and gets them flagged at inspection. We retire it, run grounded copper and modern protection, and replace the fuse setup so your Bronx home is safe and insurable.
We need to rewire a whole multi-family house in the Bronx — how does that work?
We rewire multi-family homes and small buildings on a phased, unit-by-unit schedule so tenants stay safe and the property meets current code throughout. The whole job is filed and inspected through the DOB, with the Con Edison side coordinated as needed.
Do you handle the DOB permit and inspection for a Bronx rewire?
Yes. We file the electrical permit with the NYC DOB, coordinate any Con Edison disconnect/reconnect, and see the inspection through — handing you the Certificate of Electrical Inspection your building file and insurer require.
