FAQs
How can I tell if my Old Fort home needs a complete electrical rewire?
Common indicators include constantly tripping breakers, lights that flicker or dim, warm or discolored outlets, aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, and a lack of grounded (three-prong) receptacles. Homes built before the 1980s often don’t meet today’s safety or load requirements. During our free on-site assessment we test circuit capacity, inspect insulation on existing conductors, and check panel ratings so you know definitively whether a full rewire is the safest choice.
What does the whole-home rewiring process involve?
We start with a detailed load calculation and create a circuit map tailored to how you actually use each room. After obtaining Old Fort permits, we carefully remove outdated wiring, install new copper conductors, upgrade the service panel, add AFCI/GFCI protection, and label every circuit. We use dust-containment barriers, drill precise holes to avoid structural members, and perform infrared scans to confirm every connection is tight before drywall is closed.
How long will a whole-home rewire take and will I need to move out?
Most single-family homes in Old Fort take 5–10 working days. We stage the project so essential circuits (HVAC, refrigerator, internet) are restored each evening, allowing many homeowners to stay in place. If you prefer to vacate, we’ll coordinate an accelerated schedule and daily progress updates so you can plan your return with confidence.
Do you handle permits and inspections for Old Fort?
Yes. We submit all permit applications to McDowell County, meet on-site with the electrical inspector for rough-in and final walk-throughs, and provide you with all approval documents for your records. Our familiarity with local codes—including Old Fort’s recent surge-protection ordinance—keeps the process smooth and compliant.
How much does a full rewire cost and what factors affect pricing?
In Old Fort, a typical 1,800-sq-ft home ranges from $9,000 to $18,000. Pricing depends on square footage, number of circuits, panel upgrade requirements, accessibility of walls/attic/crawlspace, and any added features such as whole-house surge protection or smart switches. After our inspection you receive a fixed, line-item proposal so there are no surprises.
What warranties and safety assurances do you provide?
All workmanship carries a lifetime warranty, and materials are covered by the manufacturer (usually 10–25 years). We are licensed, bonded, and insured in North Carolina, perform NEC-compliant torque checks on every terminal, and supply a post-project binder with circuit diagrams, torque readings, and inspection certificates, giving you documented proof of our attention to detail and your home’s new electrical integrity.
