San Diego is home to many charming older houses, from craftsman bungalows to mid-century gems. While these homes have undeniable character, many were built with plumbing and electrical systems that no longer meet today’s safety and efficiency standards. That’s where Instate Plumbing and Electric comes in—bringing modern service to older homes while preserving their unique character.
The Challenge of Aging Systems
Older homes often come with:
- Galvanized steel pipes prone to rust and leaks.
- Outdated electrical panels unable to handle modern appliances.
- Limited outlets or unsafe wiring.
Without updates, these issues can lead to inefficiency, safety hazards, and costly damage.
Plumbing Updates for Older Homes
We specialize in upgrading plumbing systems while respecting the original structure:
- Repiping with modern materials like copper or PEX.
- Tankless water heater installations for efficiency.
- Water-saving fixtures that reduce waste.
- Sewer line inspections to prevent hidden problems.
These updates extend the lifespan of your home’s plumbing while lowering utility costs.
Electrical Updates for Older Homes
Modern families rely heavily on electricity. Older homes often struggle to keep up, making upgrades essential:
- Panel upgrades & rewiring for safety and capacity.
