FAQs
How can I tell if my Pikeville home needs a full rewire?
Common warning signs include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights, warm or discolored outlets, a burning smell near switches, or two-prong (non-grounded) receptacles. Homes in Pikeville that still rely on 1960s-era aluminum wiring or 1940s-era knob-and-tube should also be evaluated. Our electricians perform a free inspection with load testing and infrared scanning to confirm whether a complete rewire is the safest and most cost-effective solution.
What exactly happens during a whole-home rewiring project?
We start by mapping every circuit, outlet, and fixture in your house, then create a code-compliant design that meets the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) and Pikeville building regulations. Drywall is carefully opened to remove outdated conductors and install new copper wiring, grounded outlets, AFCI/GFCI protection, and a modern breaker panel. We patch and repaint any access points, label the new panel, and provide a detailed as-built diagram for your records.
How long will the rewiring take and do I have to move out?
A typical 1,800–2,400 sq ft home in Pikeville takes 5–7 working days. Larger or complex houses may need up to two weeks. We can stage the job room-by-room so you can stay in the home, keeping at least one live circuit for essentials. For families with remote-work needs, we set up a temporary power station for Wi-Fi and refrigeration to minimize disruption.
Will a complete rewire increase my home’s value and safety?
Yes. Replacing aging conductors eliminates fire hazards and brings your property up to current NEC standards, which can lower insurance premiums by 10–15 %. Realtors in Pike County report a 3–5 % resale value bump for fully rewired homes because buyers know they won’t face hidden electrical costs. You also gain capacity for EV chargers, heat pumps, and smart-home devices.
Do you handle permits and inspections in Pikeville?
Absolutely. Whole-home rewires require an electrical permit from the City of Pikeville and two inspections—rough-in and final. Our team files all paperwork, schedules inspections, and is onsite to walk the inspector through the installation. You receive a signed certificate of compliance for your homeowner-insurance and resale documents.
What will a whole-house rewire cost and are financing options available?
Costs depend on size, accessibility, and desired upgrades, but most Pikeville projects range from $7 to $11 per square foot. We provide a fixed-price quote after the initial assessment so there are no surprises. Through our partnership with Kentucky Home Energy Loan, qualified homeowners can finance up to 100 % of the project at low interest, with terms from 12 to 84 months.
