FAQs
Why might my Rockwood home need a whole-home rewire?
Homes built more than 30–40 years ago often contain outdated aluminum or cloth-insulated wiring, undersized circuits, and breaker panels that can’t safely handle today’s appliance loads. Warning signs include flickering lights, frequently tripped breakers, warm switch plates, or two-prong receptacles. A whole-home rewire replaces every branch circuit, ground, and service conductor with modern copper wiring, giving you a safer, code-compliant system that supports high-demand devices and increases property value.
How long does a complete rewire take and will I need to move out?
Most single-family homes in Rockwood take 5–10 working days to rewire, depending on square footage, number of stories, and accessibility. We plan the project in phases—usually one or two rooms at a time—so critical circuits (refrigerator, HVAC, internet) remain energized whenever possible. In many cases you can stay in the home; we create dust-containment zones and schedule temporary shut-offs during daylight hours. Larger or extensively finished homes may require short periods of vacancy, and we’ll discuss that during the site assessment.
What steps does Secure Electrical Systems take to ensure my new wiring meets current safety codes?
Our licensed Rockwood electricians design the layout around the latest edition of the Ontario Electrical Safety Code (OESC) and the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC). That includes dedicated 20-amp kitchen small-appliance circuits, arc-fault and ground-fault protection, tamper-resistant receptacles, proper bonding, and surge protection at the service entrance. We pull all required ESA permits, schedule mandatory rough-in and final inspections, and provide you with a Certificate of Inspection for your insurance company upon completion.
Will a rewire damage my walls and finishes, and do you handle repairs?
We use a combination of attic access, crawl-space fishing, and precision wall cuts to minimize disruption. Small rectangular openings are made where new cable runs or device boxes must be installed. After wiring, our team patches, tapes, and primes drywall cuts—so you’re left with a paint-ready surface. If you prefer a turn-key solution, we can coordinate full painting and finish restoration through our network of local tradespeople.
Can I upgrade my service panel or add smart-home features during the rewire?
Absolutely. A whole-home rewire is the perfect time to move from a 60- or 100-amp service to a 200-amp panel, add whole-house surge protection, or rough-in circuits for electric vehicle chargers, hot tubs, and solar inverters. We can also install structured wiring for data, Wi-Fi access points, security cameras, and smart switches, giving you a future-proof electrical backbone without additional tear-outs later.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost in Rockwood, and do you offer financing?
Pricing is based on home size, accessibility, panel upgrade requirements, and finish level. In Rockwood, most complete rewires range from $12,000 to $25,000 for 1,200–2,500 sq ft homes, with larger or heritage properties exceeding that range. After a free on-site evaluation we provide a fixed quotation. We partner with FinanceIt to offer 0% down, low-interest monthly payment plans up to 15 years, and we accept rebates from home-renovation and energy-efficiency programs when available.
