FAQs

Why might I need a whole-home rewire?

A whole-home rewire replaces the outdated or damaged wiring in your house with modern materials that meet current local electrical codes. This is often necessary if you have old knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, frequent circuit breaker trips, or signs of faulty outlets. Doing so can significantly reduce fire risks and improve the efficiency of your home’s electrical system.

How do I know if my home’s electrical wiring is outdated?

Common indications include consistently flickering lights, warm or discolored outlets, frequent circuit breaker trips, and visible signs of aging wiring (like cracked insulation). If your home is more than 40 years old, it may be worthwhile to have a licensed electrician in Louisville inspect the wiring for any hazards.

What is the process of rewiring a home?

Whole-home rewiring typically involves removing old wiring, carefully installing new wiring throughout the property, and upgrading the electrical panel if necessary. Our team of electricians ensures that your walls are minimally impacted, working systematically from one area to the next while following Louisville’s local building codes. Afterward, we conduct thorough testing to confirm everything is functioning properly.

How long does a whole-home rewire usually take?

The timeline varies depending on your home’s size, layout, and accessibility of wiring. A smaller home might take just a few days, while a larger or more complex property could take several weeks. During our initial assessment, we provide a more detailed estimate, so you know what to expect.

Is it necessary to upgrade the electrical panel when rewiring?

Often, yes. Older panels may not supply sufficient amperage or have proper circuit protection for modern appliances. Upgrading or replacing the panel during a full rewire project ensures your home has enough electrical capacity to safely support new wiring and devices, preventing potential overloads.

Will I need a permit for whole-home rewiring in Louisville?

Yes. In Louisville, a permit is typically required for major electrical work like rewiring. Our electrician team handles permit applications and ensures that all work meets local and state electrical codes, making the process simple and worry-free for homeowners.
