FAQs
Why would a Grandview home need a complete electrical rewire?
Many Grandview houses were built before modern electrical demands existed. If your home still has knob-and-tube wiring, 60-amp service, aluminum branch circuits from the 1970s, or ungrounded two-prong outlets, it can’t safely support today’s appliances, electronics or EV chargers. Frequent tripped breakers, flickering lights, warm switch plates, or a burning smell are all warning signs. A whole-home rewire replaces outdated conductors, adds grounding, increases panel capacity and brings the entire system up to current National Electrical Code (NEC) and City of Grandview requirements, greatly reducing fire and shock risk.
How long does a whole-home rewire usually take in Grandview?
For an average 2,000–2,500 sq ft single-family home, the rewire itself takes 5–10 working days. Add 1–2 days on each side for permitting, utility coordination and final city inspections. Older homes with plaster walls, finished basements or complex additions can add another week. We create a detailed schedule before work begins so you’ll know exactly when power will be off in each area and when drywall repair and repainting will be finished.
Do we have to move out while the electricians are rewiring?
In most cases you can stay in your home. We rewire one circuit at a time, leaving temporary power available for essential rooms each evening. Kitchens, bathrooms and HVAC systems are prioritized so you’re never without lights, refrigeration or climate control overnight. If we need to shut down the whole house for panel replacement, it’s typically limited to one business day, and we’ll coordinate that date with you well in advance.
What is included in a whole-home rewire package?
• Complete removal or bypassing of old wiring and junction boxes • Installation of new copper branch circuits, grounded receptacles and GFCI/AFCI protection where code requires • New or upgraded 200-amp main service panel and meter socket, if needed • Dedicated circuits for heavy-load appliances (HVAC, range, dryer, EV charger, etc.) • Replacement of all switches, outlets and light fixtures you wish to update • Surge protection for the entire home • City of Grandview permit, rough-in inspection and final inspection fees • Drywall patching in accessible areas; full painting or extensive plaster restoration can be added on request.
What does a whole-house rewire cost in the Grandview area?
Costs range from $8–$12 per square foot. A typical 2,000 sq ft home runs $16,000–$24,000, including materials, labor, permits and inspections. Price is affected by service size, number of new circuits, accessibility of walls and attic, and any panel upgrade or generator/EV infrastructure wanted. We provide a fixed-price proposal after an on-site assessment so you know the total investment before work starts.
Will a rewire improve my home’s resale value and insurance premiums?
Yes. Real-estate agents report that updated electrical systems are one of the top items on buyers’ wish lists. Removing knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring helps your home pass lender and insurance company inspections, eliminates costly coverage surcharges for “undesirable wiring,” and may reduce your homeowners insurance premium by 5–15 %. A new 200-amp service and abundant outlets also future-proofs your property for EV charging, smart-home technology and modern appliances, making it more attractive on the Grandview market.
