FAQs

Why would I need a whole-home rewire instead of a few small repairs?

A whole-home rewire replaces all branch circuits, devices, and sometimes the service panel, ensuring the entire electrical system meets current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards. If your Crossville home still has 1960s–1980s aluminum wiring, cloth-insulated conductors, or a fuse box, isolated repairs can leave hidden hazards in place. A comprehensive rewire eliminates fire risks, supports modern appliance loads, and adds resale value because the wiring is warrantied and documented as up to code.

How can I tell my Crossville house really needs a rewire?

Common red flags include repeated breaker trips, warm or discolored switch plates, two-prong (ungrounded) receptacles, flickering lights, and a lack of GFCI or AFCI protection. Homes built before 1975 often have outdated wiring methods that are now considered unsafe. Our free on-site assessment includes infrared thermal scanning and continuity testing; if we find widespread aluminum, knob-and-tube, or brittle insulation, we recommend a full rewire rather than piecemeal fixes.

What exactly happens during a whole-home rewire, and how long does it take?

We start by pulling the required Cumberland County permits and creating a detailed circuit map. Our crew then removes old conductors, installs new copper NM-B or MC cable, adds grounded receptacles, updates the service panel if needed, and labels each breaker. Drywall is cut in neat, minimal channels to fish the new wiring. A 1,800–2,200 sq ft Crossville home typically takes 5–7 working days, followed by a final municipal inspection and patch/paint repairs performed by our finishing team.

Will a rewire destroy my walls or force me to move out?

No. Using our years of experience and specialized “fishing” techniques, 80–90 % of the new wiring is installed through attic, crawl, or basement spaces, so only small access holes are required. You can usually stay in the home; we schedule power shut-offs one circuit at a time and reconnect essentials (HVAC, refrigerator) the same day. We protect floors and furniture with drop cloths and clean up each evening.

Are permits and inspections really necessary in Crossville?

Yes. The City of Crossville and Cumberland County both adopt the NEC and require electrical permits for any wiring beyond like-for-like device swaps. Skipping permits can void homeowners insurance and delay future home sales. We handle all paperwork, schedule rough-in and final inspections, and provide you with certificates of completion, which serve as proof of code compliance and often lower insurance premiums.

What does a whole-home rewire cost and what factors affect the price?

In Crossville, a typical 3-bed/2-bath rewire ranges from $7,500 to $15,000. Key variables include square footage, accessibility (crawl-space heights, attic insulation), panel upgrades, specialty circuits for EV chargers or generators, and the amount of drywall repair required. We offer a fixed-price proposal after a free inspection, break the project into milestones for easy budgeting, and back our work with a transferable 5-year workmanship warranty.
