FAQs
Why would a home in Altamont need a complete electrical rewire?
Older Altamont homes often still rely on wiring installed 40–60 years ago, which may be undersized for today’s power loads, lack a grounding conductor, or use outdated materials such as aluminum or knob-and-tube. A full rewire replaces every branch circuit, brings the system up to current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, adds sufficient capacity for modern appliances, and significantly reduces fire and shock risks.
How long does a whole-home rewire usually take, and will I have to move out?
Most single-family residences in Altamont can be rewired in 5–10 working days, depending on square footage, number of stories, and wall construction. We plan the project in phases so critical rooms have power at the end of each workday. Although some clients choose to stay elsewhere for convenience, you can generally remain in the home if you’re comfortable with daytime power interruptions and some dust and noise.
What permits and inspections are required in Altamont for a full rewire?
The City of Altamont (or Highlands County if you’re outside city limits) requires an electrical permit for any whole-house rewire. Our team secures the permit on your behalf, schedules rough-in and final inspections with the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ), and supplies all compliance documentation. No portion of the new wiring is concealed until it passes rough-in inspection, ensuring full code compliance.
Will a rewire damage my walls and finishes?
We use minimally invasive fishing techniques, attic and crawl-space access, and specialized cutting tools to limit drywall removal to narrow, easily patched channels. When larger openings are unavoidable, we photograph existing conditions, label every section we cut, and include basic drywall repair and priming in our proposal so your walls are ready for paint when we’re done.
How much does a whole-house rewire cost in the Altamont area?
Pricing depends on home size, accessibility, and chosen upgrades (service-panel replacement, dedicated circuits, smart switches, etc.). As a rough guide, most Altamont rewires range from $6–$9 per square foot. After a free on-site assessment we provide a fixed-price quote that itemizes labor, materials, permit fees, drywall repairs, and any add-ons so you know exactly what to expect.
What warranties or guarantees do you provide on rewiring work?
Attention to Detail Electrical backs every whole-home rewire with a 5-year workmanship warranty and registers all devices (breakers, receptacles, AFCI/GFCI protection) for the manufacturer’s parts warranty, typically 10 years. We also offer a complimentary one-year checkup to tighten all terminations, test GFCI/AFCI devices, and ensure your system continues to perform safely and efficiently.
