FAQs
When should a whole-home rewire be considered for my Townsend property?
A rewire is recommended if your house is more than 40 years old, you still have aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, breakers trip frequently, outlets are warm or discolored, or you’re planning major renovations. Our Townsend electricians perform a free in-home assessment to confirm whether a full rewire or targeted upgrade is the safest, most cost-effective choice.
How long does a complete rewire usually take?
Project length depends on square footage, the number of circuits, and whether walls and ceilings are already open. In Townsend’s typical 1,800–2,400 sq ft homes, a full rewire takes 5–10 working days. We create a detailed timeline before work starts and coordinate with you to minimize disruption.
Will I need to move out during the rewire?
Not usually. We rewire in phases—shutting down only the section we’re working on—so you can keep essential rooms powered. If you work from home or have medical devices requiring constant electricity, we’ll set up temporary circuits or schedule work while you’re away. Some clients choose to stay elsewhere for convenience, but it isn’t mandatory.
Do you handle permits and inspections for Townsend?
Yes. Our licensed master electricians pull all required permits from the Town of Townsend and arrange each stage inspection with the local building department. Once the final inspection is passed, you’ll receive a Certificate of Approval for your records and insurance provider.
How much will a whole-home rewire cost?
Costs vary with home size, accessibility, desired fixtures, and code upgrades. In Townsend, most projects fall between $8 and $14 per square foot, including new service panels, AFCI/GFCI protection, and tamper-resistant outlets. We provide a fixed-price quote after the site visit, so there are no surprise add-ons.
What kind of warranty and future-proofing do you provide?
All workmanship is covered by a 5-year parts and labor warranty, and installed materials carry manufacturer warranties of 10–25 years. We wire for today’s codes plus 20% extra capacity, run dedicated circuits for EV chargers or heat pumps if requested, and label every circuit for easy expansion—helping your electrical system stay safe and functional for decades.
