Rewire, partial repair, or something smaller
The insurer flagged knob-and-tube or aluminum branch wiring
Treat that as a rewire conversation, not a one-outlet repair. Carriers in California often ask about active knob-and-tube or unremediated aluminum. A licensed C-10 can document a partial or staged rewire. Bright Pro does not promise a policy will be renewed.
The house still has two-prong outlets in most rooms
That usually means there is no equipment ground on those circuits. Swapping to a three-prong device without a real ground or a labeled GFCI is not a fix. The electrician traces whether a ground can be pulled, a GFCI can be labeled, or the branch has to be recabled.
One room has failing outlets or cloth-covered wire, the rest of the house is fine
A partial rewire of that area is often the right first job. Whole-house work is for original wiring throughout, an insurance demand, or a remodel that already has the walls open.
You want an EV charger or a heat pump on original 1960s wiring
New loads belong on new circuits from a panel that can take them. The electrician runs a load calc first. A charger does not require a full rewire by itself, but original ungrounded or aluminum circuits serving that garage often have to be replaced as part of the same visit.
