FAQs

Why might I need a whole home rewire in Knoxville?

There are several reasons you might need a whole home rewire. Older homes often have outdated electrical systems that can't handle today's power demands. Worn-out wiring can also pose a severe fire risk. If you're experiencing frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, or if you notice discolored outlets, it might be time for a rewire. Additionally, if you plan on major renovations or installing new, high-power appliances, a rewire ensures your home’s electrical system can handle the additional load.

How long does a whole home rewire typically take?

The duration of a whole home rewire can vary depending on the size and complexity of your home. On average, a standard home rewire could take anywhere from 3 to 7 days. This timeframe includes the time needed to replace old wiring, install new circuits, and ensure everything is up to code and functioning properly. Scheduling flexibility and any necessary repairs can also affect the overall timeline.

What are the costs associated with a whole home rewire?

The cost of a whole home rewire can vary based on several factors, including the size of your home, the complexity of the wiring system, the type of materials used, and local labor rates. On average, homeowners can expect to spend between $3,000 to $8,000. It's important to obtain a detailed quote that includes labor, materials, permits, and any necessary inspections to get a clear understanding of the total cost.

Will I need to vacate my home during the rewire process?

While it is not always necessary to vacate your home during a rewire, it can be highly disruptive. The process involves accessing walls, ceilings, and floors, and there may be times when the power needs to be shut off. For safety and convenience, some homeowners choose to stay elsewhere during the most disruptive phases of the project. It's best to discuss your specific situation with your electrician to make an informed decision.

What types of upgrades can be included in a whole home rewire?

A whole home rewire is an excellent opportunity to upgrade your electrical system to meet modern standards and improve safety. Common upgrades include installing additional outlets and light switches, adding grounded outlets, upgrading the main electrical panel, integrating smart home devices, and ensuring that all wiring complies with current electrical codes. Discuss your specific needs and preferences with your electrician to get the most out of your rewire project.

How can I ensure the electrical wiring in my home is up to code?

To ensure your home's electrical wiring is up to code, it’s crucial to hire a licensed and experienced electrician who is familiar with local Knoxville codes and regulations. They will perform an initial inspection to identify any issues and ensure that all new installations meet the latest safety standards. Additionally, after the rewire is complete, a final inspection by a certified electrical inspector can verify compliance with all state and local codes.

It wasn't cheap, but Ryan with Hep was a true life-saver. He took our electric service line from original, highly deteriorated 1950s wire to modern, expandable, and up-to-code in one day! Including working closely with local EPB folks (who also deserve huge kudos for their work)! Thanks, Ryan, for your fantastic work!!

Greg L.

Electrician Joshua Butler did an excellent job, as he always does. He is professional, thorough, attentive to detail and very nice. A credit to HEP!

Amanda J.

So today, JOSH BUTLER was once again back at my house to do a whole house service because mine was in desperate need of upgrading as it was downright dangerous. He spent the whole day making sure that everything was done absolutely correctly and it is an incredible thing to behold. Now I don’t have to worry about my house blowing up and going on fire. He took care of getting the permits and having the electric shut off and turned back on and everything in between it was painless. I totally recommend Josh and HELP for any of your home needs.

KIM P.

Josh Butler is the best electrician I have ever worked with. Not only is he knowledgeable and thorough, he is friendly and customer service oriented. He answers questions so anyone can understand and explains everything as well! A+++++ Will always request Josh! Thank You!

Vicki W.

Had to have our underground wire from pole to our home replaced due break in the wire. We felt the price was too high until their team showed up. Two electricians (Zack and Adam) and John with a bulldozer. I now know what great team is all about. Excellent job guys thank you!! Friendly and efficient. The price doesn't look so big now that I've seen how much we got for our money.
