FAQs

What exactly is involved in a whole-home rewire, and how can I tell if my Reliance property needs one?

A whole-home rewire means every branch circuit—lighting, receptacles, appliances, HVAC feeds, and grounding—is replaced with new, code-compliant copper wiring, modern breaker protection, and properly sized circuits. You might need one if you have cloth-insulated or aluminum wiring, frequent breaker trips, outlets without grounds, flickering lights, or you’re planning major renovations that will add electrical load. Our licensed Reliance electricians perform a free visual inspection and use circuit testers to confirm whether a full rewire is the safest, most cost-effective solution.

How long does a full house rewire usually take in a typical Reliance home?

A straightforward 1,500–2,000 sq-ft single-story home can often be completed in 5–7 working days. Larger, multi-story, or historic homes may require 2–3 weeks. The timeline is affected by accessibility (attic vs. slab), drywall type, customer schedule, and any required utility coordination. Before work begins, we give you a written schedule and daily progress updates so you know exactly what to expect.

Will a rewire leave my house without power, and how disruptive is the process?

We stage the project circuit-by-circuit to keep critical areas—refrigerator, HVAC, internet—energized whenever possible. Daytime power shutdowns are isolated and planned, typically lasting 3–4 hours at a time. Our crews protect flooring, use dust-containment techniques, and perform daily clean-ups. You can usually stay in the home, although we recommend making alternative plans for home offices requiring constant power or for rooms undergoing heavy drywall repair.

Do you handle permits and inspections for Reliance’s local electrical authority?

Yes. Reliance requires an electrical permit and at least two inspections (rough-in and final). Our master electrician pulls the permit, schedules inspections, meets the inspector on-site, and provides you with signed approval documents for your records. We also coordinate any utility disconnect/re-connect that may be necessary, ensuring full compliance with NEC 2023 and local amendments.

What does a whole-home rewire cost and what factors influence the price?

In Reliance, pricing typically starts around $8–10 per square foot. Variables include square footage, number of circuits, accessibility (attic crawlspace vs. slab), panel upgrade requirements, specialty devices (GFCI/AFCI, USB outlets), and cosmetic restoration (drywall/paint). We give you a line-item proposal, fixed pricing, and multiple financing options so there are no surprises.

Is a panel upgrade included, and will rewiring increase my home’s safety and value?

Most rewires include replacing the main service panel with a modern 200-amp load center equipped with AFCI/GFCI breakers. This eliminates outdated fuse boxes and reduces fire risk. A completed rewire generally lowers homeowners-insurance premiums, brings the property up to current building codes, and can add 2–5% to resale value because buyers gain peace of mind knowing the electrical system is safe and future-ready.
