FAQs
Why would my Townsend home need a whole-home rewire?
Most homes built before the mid-1980s were wired with materials and methods that no longer meet today’s safety standards or power-demand requirements. Signs you may need a rewire include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights, warm switch plates, limited outlets, or the presence of aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring. A full rewire eliminates fire hazards, brings the system up to current National Electrical Code (NEC) and Townsend building requirements, and increases capacity for modern appliances, EV chargers, and smart-home technology.
What exactly happens during a whole-house rewiring project?
Our licensed electricians begin with a detailed load calculation and circuit-mapping of your existing system. We then obtain Townsend permits, protect floors and furnishings, and strategically open walls and ceilings to remove outdated cables. New copper wiring, grounded receptacles, arc-fault/ground-fault protection, and an upgraded service panel are installed. After rough-in, municipal inspectors verify code compliance. We finish by repairing drywall, reinstalling fixtures, and conducting a final performance and safety test. Documentation and an as-built circuit map are provided for your records.
How long will the rewire take and will I have to move out?
A typical 1,800–2,400-sq-ft home in Townsend takes 5–10 working days, depending on accessibility and scope (panel upgrade, smart-home additions, etc.). Power is usually off in sections, so essential circuits can often be restored each evening, allowing many homeowners to stay in place. If you work from home or have special medical equipment, we can arrange temporary power solutions or schedule work while you are away. Larger or plaster-walled homes may require additional time for careful demo and restoration.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost in Townsend?
Costs vary with home size, construction type, and desired upgrades, but most projects fall between $8 and $14 per square foot, inclusive of labor, materials, permitting, and inspections. For a 2,000-sq-ft house that’s roughly $16,000–$28,000. Adding a 200-Amp service panel, whole-house surge protection, or extensive smart-lighting can increase the investment. We provide a free on-site assessment and a fixed-price proposal so you know exactly what to expect—no surprise change orders.
Are permits and inspections required, and do you handle them?
Yes. The Town of Townsend requires an electrical permit and at least two inspections: rough-in and final. Work must adhere to the latest NEC edition adopted by Delaware (or your local jurisdiction) and any additional municipal amendments. Our team manages the entire permitting process, coordinates inspection appointments, and stays on site during each inspection to address questions instantly, ensuring a smooth approval and a Code Compliance Certificate upon completion.
What warranties and post-installation support do you offer?
All workmanship is backed by a 5-year labor warranty, and materials carry the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 10 years or more on panels and breakers. If you experience any issue such as a tripping breaker or faulty device, we prioritize warranty calls within 48 hours. We also offer optional annual safety check-ups where we test GFCI/AFCI devices, inspect panel torque, and verify surge protection. Our goal is to be your long-term electrical partner, keeping your newly rewired home safe and efficient for decades.
