FAQs
Why might a Rockwood home need a full electrical rewire?
Older properties often contain outdated aluminum or cloth-covered wiring, have ungrounded outlets, or lack capacity for today’s high-demand appliances. A whole-home rewire replaces these aging circuits with modern copper conductors, grounded receptacles, and larger service panels that meet current Rockwood building and safety codes. This improves fire safety, prevents nuisance breaker trips, and adds value to your property.
What top-quality materials do you use during a rewire?
We install 100 % copper NM-B or MC cable rated to 600 V, AFCI/GFCI dual-function breakers, tamper-resistant receptacles, and galvanized steel electrical boxes. All devices are UL/CSA listed and comply with the latest National Electrical Code (or Ontario Electrical Code for Canadian Rockwood homes). Using premium components reduces resistance, improves longevity, and provides superior protection against arcing and ground faults.
How long does a whole-house rewire typically take in Rockwood?
Most single-family homes (1,500–2,500 sq ft) are completed in 5–10 business days. The timeline depends on home size, accessibility of walls/attic, and whether drywall repairs are required. We create a day-by-day schedule, coordinate permits and inspections in advance, and keep at least one energized circuit for essentials whenever possible to minimize disruption.
Will I need permits and inspections?
Yes. Rockwood’s building department (and the local utility/ESA in Canada) require an electrical permit for any full rewire. We handle all paperwork, schedule rough-in and final inspections, and provide you with a Certificate of Compliance upon completion. This documentation is essential for insurance coverage and future resale.
How much does a complete rewire cost, and what factors affect pricing?
Costs typically range from $8 to $14 per square foot in Rockwood. Key variables include home size, accessibility (crawl spaces vs. slab), panel upgrade needs, number of new circuits, specialty devices (EV chargers, smart switches), and the amount of drywall repair/finishing. We offer a detailed, fixed-price quote after an on-site assessment so there are no surprise overruns.
Will my household be disrupted during the project?
During working hours we turn off power only to the circuits being replaced, leaving temporary lighting and essential outlets active. We protect floors and furniture with drop cloths, use dust-control vacuum attachments when cutting, and perform cleanup daily. Most clients remain in their homes throughout the process, and we coordinate closely to keep kitchens, bathrooms, and HVAC functional.
