FAQs
How can I tell if my Rutledge home needs a complete electrical rewire?
Common warning signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, outlets that are warm or sparking, aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, a burning smell near devices, or an electrical panel that is more than 25–30 years old. If your house was built before 1980 and has never been updated, a professional inspection is highly recommended. Our technicians perform free visual assessments in Rutledge and can test the integrity of existing circuits to confirm whether a full rewire is necessary.
What does a whole-home rewiring project actually involve?
We remove outdated branch circuits and run new copper wiring, install modern grounded outlets, replace switches, upgrade or relocate the service panel if required, and label every circuit for easy identification. Drywall cuts are kept to a minimum, and we coordinate with sheet-rock and paint crews for seamless repairs. All work is performed to the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC) and Georgia amendments, as well as any additional requirements of the City of Rutledge building department.
How long will the rewiring take, and do I need to move out while it’s being done?
Most single-family homes in Rutledge (1,500–3,000 sq. ft.) are completed in 3–7 working days. Larger or heavily customized houses can take longer. We usually rewire by zones, shutting off power only to the area we are working in, so you can often remain in the home with minimal disruption. For extensive projects, temporary power panels or generators can be provided so essentials such as refrigerators or HVAC keep running.
Who handles permits and inspections, and will my new wiring pass code?
We obtain all necessary electrical permits through the Morgan County / City of Rutledge permit office, schedule all rough-in and final inspections, and remain on-site to answer inspectors’ questions. Each circuit is tested for continuity, proper grounding, arc-fault protection, and GFCI compliance where required. When the job is complete, you receive a signed inspection card and a certificate of completion for your records and insurance.
What does a whole-house rewire cost in the Rutledge area?
Pricing depends on square footage, number of circuits, accessibility (crawl space, attic, finished basement), and any panel or service upgrades. As a guideline, most Rutledge homes fall between $7 and $12 per square foot, with a minimum project cost of about $12,000. We provide a written, itemized estimate after an on-site survey, and offer financing plans up to 60 months with no pre-payment penalty.
Why should I invest in a full rewire instead of making smaller repairs?
A complete rewire eliminates hidden hazards, increases the home’s resale value, and supports today’s high-demand electronics, EV chargers, and smart-home devices. Insurance companies often lower premiums for homes with modern wiring, and you avoid the recurring cost of troubleshooting aging circuits. Rewiring now also protects you from potential code violations that can delay a future sale or remodel permit.
