FAQs

What is a whole home rewire and why is it necessary?

A whole home rewire involves replacing all the electrical wiring in your house. It's necessary for several reasons, including upgrading outdated or hazardous wiring, ensuring your home meets current safety standards, accommodating modern electrical needs, and preventing potential fire hazards caused by old or faulty wiring.

How do I know if my home needs rewiring?

Signs that your home might need rewiring include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, unusual smells or sounds from electrical outlets, old or frayed wiring, two-prong (non-grounded) outlets, and if your home is over 30 years old and has never been rewired.

What does the rewiring process involve?

The rewiring process typically includes an initial assessment of your current electrical system, planning the new wiring layout, obtaining necessary permits, removing old wiring, installing new wiring, updating the main electrical panel if needed, and thorough testing to ensure everything is working correctly and complies with safety regulations.

How long does it take to complete a whole home rewire?

The duration of a whole home rewire can vary based on the size and age of the house, the complexity of the wiring system, and specific homeowner needs. On average, it can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks to complete the project. An initial assessment can provide a more accurate timeline.

Will rewiring cause significant disruption to my home?

Rewiring can be disruptive as it involves accessing all areas of the house to replace old wiring, which may require removing parts of walls, floors, and ceilings. However, experienced electricians will plan and work systematically to minimize disruptions, and will clean up thoroughly after the work is complete.

How much does a whole home rewire cost?

The cost of a whole home rewire can vary widely based on factors such as the size of your home, the complexity of the electrical system, the materials used, and labor rates. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $4,000 and $15,000. Obtaining a detailed quote from a licensed electrician is recommended for an accurate estimate.
