FAQs
Why might my Rockwood home need a full electrical rewire?
Homes that are more than 30–40 years old often contain wiring that is undersized for today’s appliances, lacks proper grounding, or is insulated with outdated materials such as cloth or rubber. Warning signs include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights, warm switch plates, or the presence of two-prong receptacles. A whole-home rewire replaces every branch circuit with modern copper wiring, bringing your property up to the latest National Electrical Code (NEC 2023) and Rockwood Building Department amendments, improving safety, capacity, and future resale value.
What is involved in a whole-home rewire and how long will it take?
A rewire has four main phases: (1) planning and permitting, where load calculations and a circuit map are created; (2) rough-in, when drywall is carefully opened, new cables, boxes, and a service panel are installed; (3) inspection by the City of Rockwood electrical inspector; and (4) trim-out, where devices are mounted, plates installed, and walls patched. For an average 1,800- to 2,200-sq-ft house, expect 5–10 working days of onsite labor, plus 1–2 days for inspections and drywall repair. Larger or occupied homes with plaster walls can take a bit longer.
Will I need to move out during the rewire and how disruptive is the process?
Most clients remain in their homes. Our technicians rewire one portion of the house at a time and set up temporary circuits so you still have lights, refrigeration, and HVAC at night. Expect some daytime power shut-offs, dust from wall cuts, and plastic sheeting to isolate work areas. We perform daily clean-ups and schedule the noisiest work during standard business hours to minimize inconvenience.
Are permits and inspections required in Rockwood, and do you handle them?
Yes. Rockwood, like all Tennessee jurisdictions, enforces NEC 2023 standards and requires an electrical permit for any service upgrade or full rewire. A rough-in and a final inspection are mandatory. Our office prepares the permit application, coordinates inspection appointments, and remains onsite during walk-throughs to address any code questions, ensuring a seamless approval process for you.
How much does a complete rewire cost and what factors affect the price?
Rewiring costs generally range from $8 to $15 per square foot in the Rockwood area. Pricing depends on home size, accessibility of crawl spaces or attics, wall composition (drywall vs. plaster/lathe), the need for a service panel upgrade, and any optional extras like whole-house surge protection or EV charging circuits. We provide a detailed, fixed-price quote after a free onsite assessment so there are no surprises.
