About Us
Klein Electric LLC was built by two brothers who believe electrical work should be done correctly the first time. A whole home rewire is one of the most significant electrical projects a homeowner can undertake, and we approach each one with care, clear communication, and a focus on lasting results for homes across Maine.

How It Works
A rewire project moves through clear stages. Knowing what to expect helps homeowners plan ahead and avoids surprises during the work.
We visit your home, review the existing wiring condition, panel setup, and layout, then walk you through what a full rewire will involve before any work begins.
We pull the necessary permits and map out the rewire scope, including circuit layout, outlet placement, and any panel work that needs to happen in coordination with the rewire.
Our team works through the home systematically, replacing wiring room by room. We keep disruption to walls and ceilings as limited as the structure allows.
Once wiring is complete, the project goes through a code inspection. We handle the scheduling and are on-site to address any inspector questions directly.
Before we close out the job, we walk through the completed work with you, test circuits, and make sure every outlet and switch is functioning the way it should.
Frequently asked
Common questions get answered quickly so the page feels more trustworthy before someone reaches out.
Q1
Common signs include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, burning smells near outlets, or wiring that is knob-and-tube or aluminum. Homes built before the 1970s often benefit from a full assessment to determine whether a rewire makes sense.
Q2
Most single-family homes take between three and seven days depending on square footage, the number of circuits, and how accessible the walls and attic are. We give you a realistic timeline during the assessment so you can plan accordingly.
Q3
In most cases, yes, at least for part of the project. Power will be off during significant portions of the work. We can discuss the schedule during your assessment to help you plan for temporary accommodations if needed.
Q4
Yes. We pull the required electrical permits and coordinate the inspection process. You do not need to manage that separately.
Q5
We use wire-fishing techniques wherever possible to limit how much drywall needs to be opened. Some access points are unavoidable, but we keep them minimal and clearly mark any areas that will need patching after the job.
Q6
Absolutely. Many rewire projects involve upgrading the panel at the same time since older panels often cannot support modern electrical loads. We assess both during the initial visit and can scope the work together.
Q7
Yes. We work throughout Maine including Augusta, Waterville, Bangor, Winthrop, Freeport, and the Belfast and Rangeley areas. If you are unsure whether we cover your location, call us and we will let you know.
Q8
It is not always legally required, but outdated wiring often shows up during a home inspection and can affect a sale. Many sellers rewire before listing to avoid negotiation issues or buyer financing complications tied to electrical deficiencies.
