FAQs
Why should I trust your team for a whole-home rewire in Pikeville?
Our electricians have more than two decades of hands-on experience rewiring homes across Pikeville and the surrounding counties. We are fully licensed and insured in the state of Kentucky, participate in ongoing National Electrical Code (NEC) training, and back every rewire with a written workmanship warranty. In short, you receive seasoned professionals who know the local building department, follow strict safety protocols, and deliver code-compliant results that protect your family and investment.
What signs indicate my Pikeville house may need a complete rewire?
Common warning signs include frequently tripped breakers or blown fuses, flickering or dimming lights, outlets that spark or feel hot, an absence of ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) in kitchens and baths, aluminum wiring installed in the 1960s-70s, knob-and-tube wiring dating back to the early 20th century, and a lack of available circuits for modern appliances. If you’re planning a major remodel or adding high-demand equipment like EV chargers or HVAC upgrades, a full rewire is often the safest and most cost-effective solution.
How long does a whole-house rewire usually take?
For the average 1,500–2,000 sq ft home in Pikeville, a complete rewire typically takes 5–7 working days. Larger or more complex layouts can extend the timeline to two weeks. We start with a detailed walkthrough, create a room-by-room plan, secure permits, rough-in new circuits, schedule inspections, and finish with device and fixture installation. We’ll provide you with a firm timetable before work begins and keep you informed of progress each day.
Will I need permits or inspections, and who handles them?
Yes. Pikeville and Pike County require electrical permits and at least one rough-in and one final inspection for whole-home rewires. Our team handles the entire permitting process, coordinates inspection appointments, and remains on-site to answer the inspector’s questions. You receive copies of the approved permits and inspection sign-offs for your records, which can help with home insurance and resale value.
What does a full rewire cost, and what factors affect the price?
In Pikeville, most whole-home rewires fall between $6 and $10 per square foot. The final price depends on square footage, number of circuits, existing wall accessibility (open walls cost less than plaster or paneling), whether a service-panel upgrade is needed, and any specialty options such as smart-home wiring or surge protection. We provide a detailed, line-item quote after an on-site evaluation so you can see exactly where every dollar goes.
How do you minimize disruption to my family and property during the project?
We create a daily work schedule that targets specific rooms so you can still access essential areas. We use dust barriers, floor protection, and HEPA vacuums to control debris, and we patch wall openings to a paint-ready finish. When power must be shut off, we do so in clearly communicated time blocks—often during work hours—so evenings remain comfortable. Our goal is to leave your home cleaner and safer than we found it, with minimal interruption to your routine.
