FAQs
Why would my Ten Mile home need a full rewire?
Homes in Ten Mile that are more than 30–40 years old often still rely on outdated wiring such as aluminum branch circuits, knob-and-tube, or 60-amp service panels. These systems were never designed for today’s high electrical loads and can overheat, trip breakers, or even start fires. A full rewire replaces every circuit and device with modern copper conductors, grounded receptacles, arc-fault and ground-fault protection, and an appropriately sized service panel, eliminating safety hazards and bringing your property up to current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards.
What exactly is involved in a whole-home rewiring project?
A whole-house rewire is a multi-step process: 1. Detailed Load Assessment – We calculate your present and future electrical demands. 2. Permitting – We obtain all required Meigs/Roane County permits. 3. Rough-In – Our licensed electricians fish new NM-B or MC cable through walls, ceilings, and crawl spaces, install new breaker panel(s), and run dedicated circuits for HVAC, kitchen appliances, EV chargers, and smart-home gear. 4. Device Installation – We fit tamper-resistant outlets, Decora switches, AFCI/GFCI protection, and hard-wired smoke/CO alarms. 5. Inspection – County inspectors verify compliance at rough-in and final stages. 6. Finish & Cleanup – Drywall repair, texture matching, paint touch-ups, and a complete job-site sweep so your home looks as good as it did before we arrived.
How long does a whole-house rewire take, and do I need to move out?
A typical 1,800–2,500 sq ft Ten Mile home takes 5–10 working days. Larger or architecturally complex homes may run up to three weeks. We re-energize essential circuits at the end of each day so you have lights, refrigeration, and HVAC overnight. Most clients remain in the home, although particularly extensive projects may require you to vacate for one or two days when the main panel is being swapped or when drywall dust becomes excessive.
Are permits and inspections required for a rewire in Ten Mile?
Yes. The State of Tennessee and Meigs/Roane County building departments mandate electrical permits for any service upgrade or circuit replacement. Two inspections are typical: a rough-in inspection before walls are closed and a final inspection after all devices are installed. We handle all paperwork, schedule the inspector, and supply certification documentation for your records and homeowners-insurance carrier.
How much does a complete home rewire cost, and what affects the price?
In Ten Mile, most rewires cost between $8 and $15 per finished square foot. Variables include: • Size and layout of the home (single story vs. multistory) • Accessibility of crawl spaces and attics • Condition of existing drywall and finish materials • Number of dedicated circuits (kitchen, workshop, EV charger, spa, etc.) • Panel upgrade amperage (200 A vs. 400 A) • Any required service-entrance relocation or meter base replacement We provide a free, itemized quote so you understand exactly where every dollar goes.
How do you protect my property and guarantee safety and code compliance?
Our crew lays down Ram Board and poly sheeting on floors, uses HEPA-filtered vacuums while cutting, and seals workspace doorways to contain dust. All wiring is installed to the 2023 NEC, including AFCI protection on bedroom circuits, GFCI in wet areas, and surge protection at the service entrance. Employees are background-checked, drug-tested, and supervised by a Tennessee-licensed master electrician. We furnish a written workmanship warranty and pass every inspection before final payment is due.
