When homeowners in Naples Park, Florida, contacted us at Coharbor Electric, they were facing a serious electrical challenge. Their home—built in the 1970s—still had outdated aluminum wiring and an undersized panel that couldn’t safely handle today’s electrical demands. With frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, and concerns about safety, they knew it was time for a complete whole-home rewire.
Here’s how our team helped transform this home’s electrical system into one that is modern, safe, and ready for the future.
Naples Park is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods in North Naples, known for its proximity to Vanderbilt Beach and upscale amenities. Many of the homes, however, were built decades ago, and their electrical systems have not kept pace with modern technology.
For this particular home, we found:
Aluminum wiring throughout the house, which is prone to overheating and loose connections.
A 100-amp panel that was undersized for today’s household loads.
Insufficient outlets in several rooms, leading to unsafe reliance on extension cords.
No GFCI protection in wet areas such as bathrooms, kitchen, and outdoor spaces.
Outdated lighting fixtures with inefficient wiring.
These issues posed both safety risks and functional frustrations for the homeowners.
After a detailed electrical safety inspection, we recommended a complete whole-home rewire and panel upgrade. Here’s what the project included:
Replacing Aluminum Wiring with Copper
We carefully removed the old aluminum circuits and replaced them with high-quality copper wiring for reliability and safety.
Panel Upgrade
Installed a new 200-amp panel, giving the homeowners the capacity to handle modern appliances, electronics, and future upgrades like an EV charger or hot tub.
GFCI & AFCI Protection
Added GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garage, and outdoor areas.
Installed AFCI breakers to help prevent electrical fires.
Additional Outlets & Circuits
Installed new circuits for dedicated appliances like the refrigerator, washer/dryer, and air conditioning system.
Added outlets in living areas and bedrooms to reduce overuse of extension cords.
Lighting Upgrades
Replaced outdated fixtures with modern, energy-efficient LED lighting.
Added recessed lighting in the kitchen and living room for better visibility and ambiance.
Code Compliance & Safety Testing
Ensured all wiring, breakers, and outlets met current Florida building codes.
Completed a thorough safety check before restoring full power.
The transformation was dramatic. The homeowners now enjoy:
Peace of mind knowing their home’s wiring is safe and up to code.
A more reliable electrical system that no longer trips breakers.
Increased home value, since updated wiring is a major selling point in Naples Park’s competitive real estate market.
Modern convenience, with outlets and circuits that support today’s lifestyle.
Improved lighting and energy efficiency, lowering monthly utility bills.
Many homes in Naples Park were built between the 1960s and 1980s, which means outdated wiring and panels are still common. If your home has aluminum wiring, a fuse box, or struggles to keep up with demand, it may be time to consider a rewire or panel upgrade.
