FAQs
Why might my home in Reliance need a whole-home rewire?
Several warning signs indicate outdated or unsafe wiring: frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, warm or discolored outlets, aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, and a lack of grounding or GFCI protection. Rewiring brings your electrical system up to current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, increases capacity for modern appliances, and greatly reduces the risk of electrical fires.
How long does a complete rewire typically take?
For an average 1,800â2,500 sq ft single-family home in Reliance, a full rewire usually takes 5â10 working days. The exact duration depends on factors such as home size, accessibility of walls and attic, presence of finished surfaces that require patching, and any upgrades to the service panel. We provide a detailed timeline after our on-site assessment so you know what to expect each day.
Will I have to vacate my home during the rewire?
Not necessarily. We rewire section by section, keeping critical circuits (fridge, HVAC, lighting) live whenever possible. While there will be periods without power in certain areas, most families remain in their homes throughout the project. If you work from home or have special medical equipment, let us know so we can schedule outages around your needs.
What permits and inspections are required in Reliance?
The city/county electrical permit is mandatory for whole-home rewires. Reliance Electric handles the entire permitting process, including plan submission and fee payment. After rough-in wiring is complete, a municipal inspector verifies code compliance. A final inspection is performed once devices, fixtures, and panel labeling are finished. Passing both inspections ensures your new wiring is safe and officially documented.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost?
Costs vary with home size, existing wiring type, and desired upgrades, but most rewires in Reliance range from $7 to $12 per square foot. This includes new copper wiring, AFCI/GFCI breakers, proper grounding, new receptacles and switches, and patching of small wall openings. We provide a detailed, itemized quote after a free on-site evaluation so there are no surprises.
Can rewiring increase my homeâs value and insurance eligibility?
Yes. Modern copper wiring, a new service panel, and arc-fault protection not only improve safety but also add to resale value. Many insurers charge higher premiumsâor refuse coverageâfor homes with outdated wiring such as knob-and-tube or aluminum. After the rewire, we supply a Certificate of Completion you can present to your insurance company to secure better rates and coverage.
