FAQs
Why should I consider rewiring my whole home?
Rewiring your home ensures that your electrical system meets current safety standards, minimizes risks of electrical fires, accommodates modern appliance loads, and can increase the value of your property. Older wiring systems may not handle the demands of today's electronics and can degrade over time, leading to potential hazards.
How do I know if my home needs a rewire?
Some signs that your home may need rewiring include frequently tripping circuit breakers, flickering lights, discolored or charred outlets and switches, buzzing or burnt smells from electrical sockets, and having an old fuse box rather than a modern circuit breaker panel. Homes over 40 years old are particularly likely candidates for a rewire.
What does the whole home rewiring process involve?
The rewiring process involves replacing all existing electrical wires, outlets, and switches. An electrician will inspect your home's current wiring, develop a rewiring plan, obtain necessary permits, and then proceed with the installation. The process may require opening walls and ceilings, so some cosmetic repairs will be needed afterward.
How long does a whole home rewire take?
The duration of a whole home rewire depends on the size and age of the home as well as the complexity of the job. Typically, a full rewire can take anywhere from several days to a few weeks. Our team ensures minimal disruption to your daily life and communicates openly about the project timeline.
Will I need to move out during the rewiring process?
While it is not always necessary to move out, it can make the process smoother and faster. Living in the home during a rewire can be inconvenient due to power outages and the need to navigate around ongoing work. Discuss with your electrician to make a plan that works best for your situation.
How much does a whole home rewire cost in Chattanooga?
The cost of a whole home rewire varies based on factors such as the size of your home, its age, and the complexity of the electrical system. On average, you can expect to pay between $8,000 and $15,000 for a standard 3-bedroom home. We provide detailed estimates during our initial assessment to ensure you understand the scope and cost involved.
