FAQs
What exactly is a whole-home rewire, and why might a Tazewell house need one?
A whole-home rewire replaces every branch-circuit conductor, device, and often the service panel so that your electrical system meets current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards and Tazewell County requirements. Homes built before the mid-1980s often contain cloth-insulated, aluminum, or knob-and-tube wiring that lacks grounding and is prone to overheating. A rewire eliminates these hazards, adds modern circuit capacity for today’s appliances and electronics, and can raise the home’s resale value and insurability.
How can I tell if my Tazewell home needs a complete rewire rather than small repairs?
Common warning signs include frequent breaker trips or blown fuses, warm or discolored outlets, two-prong receptacles, flickering lights, a burning odor, or a service panel smaller than 100 amps. If your house is over 40 years old and has never been upgraded, an electrical assessment is strongly advised. During our free evaluation we use non-invasive testers and attic/crawlspace inspections to confirm wire type and condition before recommending a full or partial rewire.
How long will a whole-home rewire take, and will my power be out the entire time?
A 1,500–2,000 sq ft single-story home in Tazewell generally takes 3–7 working days; larger or multi-story homes may take 1–2 weeks. We stage the project room by room so only small areas are without power at any moment. Critical circuits such as refrigeration or medical equipment can be kept on a temporary power feed. Before work begins we give you a detailed schedule so you know exactly when each part of the house will be affected.
Will rewiring wreck my walls and ceilings, and do you repair the damage?
We use fish-taping, crawlspace access, and attic runs to keep demolition minimal. When we must cut drywall or plaster, the openings are narrow and strategically placed behind baseboards or switch plates. Our quote includes patching, texturing, and primer painting to leave surfaces ready for your final paint color. Flooring, cabinetry, and historic trim are carefully protected throughout the job.
What permits and inspections are required in Tazewell, and who handles them?
Tazewell County enforces the current NEC along with Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code amendments. A residential rewire needs an electrical permit plus at least two inspections—rough-in and final. Quality Craftsmanship Electrical pulls the permit under our Class A contractor’s license, coordinates inspection dates, and stays on-site until the county inspector signs off. All documentation is provided to you for insurance and resale records.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost, and do you offer financing?
Costs vary with home size, accessibility, and service-panel upgrades, but most Tazewell projects fall between $8 and $15 per square foot. A typical 1,800 sq ft rewire runs $14,000–$24,000, including materials, permits, drywall repair, and cleanup. We provide a fixed-price proposal after the onsite assessment. Zero-down, low-interest financing up to 120 months is available, and we’ll help you document the work for possible homeowners-insurance discounts after completion.
