Question about electrical work

Hey dad's,

I live in a house that was built in 1883. Old log cabin. It's been added on 6 times over the years into a 3 bedroom, 1 bath farmhouse.

I am running into some electrical issues. One of the circuits in the kitchen had failed. I have replaced the breaker and it still doesn't work.

In 2016 I added on 2 bedrooms. For some unknown reason, the electric heaters stopped working last winter. This fall, the outlets and lights don't work. All the outlets, overhead lights in the 2 bedrooms and hallway are on one 10 Amp breaker. This was done by a local licensed electrician. I replaced that breaker and still no power. I thought maybe it was overloaded and put on a 15, nothing works.

I was talking to a friend of mine who suggested she could talk to her pastor who is also an electrician about troubleshooting and what I need to do to get some help.

He said since my house is old, despite out township not having building permits or building codes, according to the state of Minnesota if I have a licensed electrician out to solve these 2 problems, I will have to have the ENTIRE house redone because "it's old and it's their duty to redo the whole house".

They informed her that I am looking at 10-15K in rewiring everything.

I was gobsmacked. I... work for a living. I raise goats, and work as a home health aid. I can't get a mortgage and wouldn't anyway because it's family land, and my name is not on the title until my mom dies.

Has anyone ever heard this? That if they fix one small issue they must redo the whole house?

Any other ideas?
