FAQs
When should I consider a whole-home rewire in Heiskell?
You should think about rewiring if your house is 30 + years old and still has original wiring, if you see signs such as frequently tripped breakers, warm or discolored outlets, flickering lights, or if you still have aluminum, knob-and-tube, or two-wire (ungrounded) circuits. A rewire is also recommended before a major remodel or after purchasing an older home to ensure the electrical system can safely support modern appliances, smart-home tech, and today’s higher power demands.
What is involved in Modern Approach Electrical’s rewiring process?
Our process starts with a free in-home assessment where we map existing circuits and identify safety hazards. We then create a detailed proposal that covers load calculations, panel upgrades, arc-fault/ground-fault protection, new grounded circuits, and any smart-home provisions you want (USB outlets, EV charger runs, whole-house surge protection, etc.). During the work, we typically rewire one area at a time, pulling new copper wiring through walls and ceilings, installing new breaker panels, devices, and plates, and labeling every circuit. We finish with a cleanup, full system test, and local code inspection to guarantee compliance.
How long does a complete rewire take and will I need to move out?
An average 1,800–2,400 sq ft home in Heiskell takes 5–8 working days. Larger or more complex homes can take up to two weeks. Most clients stay in the home because we keep power on in critical areas (HVAC, fridge, a bathroom) whenever possible and work in stages to minimize disruption. If your schedule or health requires zero downtime, we can coordinate a temporary power solution or perform the job while you’re away.
Will a rewire increase my home’s value and energy efficiency?
Yes. A documented new electrical system is a major selling point, often adding 3-5 % to resale value in our local market. New grounded circuits reduce the risk of fire and electrical shock, which can lower homeowners-insurance premiums. Energy efficiency improves because modern copper wiring has lower resistance, upgraded panels lose less energy as heat, and we often install LED-ready dimmers, smart thermostats, and whole-house surge protection that prolong the life of sensitive electronics.
Are permits and inspections required in Heiskell, and do you handle them?
Anderson County and the State of Tennessee require a permit for any whole-house rewire. Two inspections—rough-in and final—are mandatory. Modern Approach Electrical pulls all necessary permits, schedules inspections, and supplies the inspector with load calculations and panel schedules. We stay on-site during each inspection to address questions, so you never have to navigate the process yourself.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost and what financing options are available?
Costs depend on home size, accessibility, and optional upgrades. In Heiskell, recent projects have ranged from $8 to $12 per square foot, or roughly $14,000–$22,000 for an average home. The price includes permits, materials, labor, disposal, and a lifetime workmanship warranty. We partner with local credit unions to offer 0 % same-as-cash plans up to 18 months and low-interest terms up to 60 months, and we accept most major credit cards.
