FAQs
What is a whole home rewire?
A whole home rewire involves replacing all the electrical wiring throughout your home. This includes updating all electrical outlets, switches, and lighting fixtures to meet modern electrical codes and standards. The process ensures that your home's electrical system is safe, efficient, and capable of handling the demands of modern appliances and technology.
How do I know if my home needs to be rewired?
There are several signs that indicate your home may need a rewire. These include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, outlets that don’t work, a burning smell near outlets or switches, and old wiring such as knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. If your home is over 40 years old and hasn’t been updated, it’s also a good idea to have an inspection to determine if a rewire is necessary.
How long does a whole home rewire take?
The duration of a whole home rewire can vary based on the size of your home, the complexity of the wiring system, and the accessibility of the current wiring. On average, it can take anywhere from a few days to two weeks. Before starting the project, our electricians in Maryville will provide a detailed timeline after an initial assessment.
Will a whole home rewire make a mess?
Rewiring a home can be invasive, as it often requires cutting into walls, ceilings, and floors to access and replace wiring. However, our professional electricians take every precaution to minimize disruption and mess. We use protective coverings and clean up thoroughly after the work is done. We also coordinate with you to minimize inconvenience.
Is whole home rewiring covered by homeowners insurance?
Homeowners insurance policies differ, so it's important to check with your insurance provider. In many cases, insurance may cover rewiring if it's deemed a necessary safety improvement or if it's required due to damage from an insured event. However, proactive updates for modernization may not always be covered. Always verify the specifics with your insurance company.
What are the benefits of rewiring my home?
Rewiring your home offers several significant benefits. It enhances the safety of your home by reducing the risk of electrical fires and shocks. It ensures compatibility with modern appliances and technology, improving overall efficiency. It can also increase your home's value and marketability. Additionally, a modern electrical system can result in lower insurance premiums and provide peace of mind.
