FAQs
What are the most common signs that my Jacksboro home needs a full electrical rewire?
Persistent tripped breakers, flickering or dimming lights, warm or discolored outlets, a burning odor near switches, two-prong ungrounded receptacles, aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s–70s, or a panel rated below 100 amps are all red flags. If your house is more than 30–40 years old and still relies on original wiring, scheduling an electrical inspection is the safest way to determine if a complete rewire is needed.
How long does a whole-home rewire typically take in Jacksboro?
Most single-family homes (1,500–2,500 sq ft) take 5–10 working days from start to finish. Smaller homes can be completed in as little as three days, while larger or more complex properties may require two to three weeks. The timeline depends on the home’s size, ease of attic or crawl-space access, wall construction, and any upgrades to the service panel or meter loop that must be performed concurrently.
Will I have to move out during the rewiring process?
Not necessarily. We rewire one circuit at a time and can provide temporary power to essential appliances, allowing many Jacksboro homeowners to stay in place. You’ll experience brief outages and limited access to certain rooms while our technicians run new cables and install devices. If extensive drywall removal is needed or the project coincides with other renovations, some clients choose to stay elsewhere for comfort, but it is rarely mandatory.
How much does a complete home rewire cost in the Jacksboro area?
Costs generally range from $6 to $10 per square foot, so a typical 2,000-sq-ft home might fall between $12,000 and $20,000. Factors that raise or lower price include the number of circuits, availability of attic access, need for a new 200-amp panel, smart-home or EV-charger provisions, and cosmetic wall repairs. We provide a detailed, line-item estimate after an on-site assessment so there are no surprises.
Do I need permits for rewiring, and who handles inspections?
Yes. The City of Jacksboro and Jack County require electrical permits and inspections for whole-house rewiring projects. As a licensed Texas Electrical Contractor, we secure all permits, coordinate utility cut-offs if the service entrance must be upgraded, and schedule both rough-in and final inspections with the local authority having jurisdiction. You receive copies of all approvals for your records and insurance needs.
What benefits will I see after rewiring my home?
A modern electrical system dramatically improves safety by eliminating loose, undersized, or overheated conductors that can start fires. You gain additional grounded outlets, dedicated circuits for high-demand appliances, higher service capacity for today’s electronics, and cleaner power that reduces nuisance tripping. Many clients pair rewiring with LED lighting, whole-home surge protection, and smart switches, which can lower energy bills and boost resale value.
