FAQs
Why might my Altamont home need a complete electrical rewire?
Houses built before the mid-1980s often contain aluminum branch wiring, ungrounded two-wire circuits, or panels that no longer meet National Electrical Code (NEC) safety standards. A whole-home rewire replaces these aging components with modern copper wiring, grounded outlets, AFCI/GFCI protection, and a properly sized service panel. The result is dramatically improved fire safety, the capacity to run today’s high-demand appliances, and higher resale value.
How long does a whole-home rewire typically take?
For an average 2,000–2,500 sq-ft residence in Altamont, the physical wiring phase usually takes 5–10 working days. Add one to two weeks for permitting, rough-in inspections, and drywall/paint restoration. Larger or custom homes, extensive plaster walls, or historical preservation requirements can extend the schedule. We create a detailed day-by-day timeline before work begins so you always know what to expect.
Will I have to move out while the work is done?
In most cases, no. Our electricians work in clearly defined sections, shutting off power only to the circuits being upgraded that day. We set up temporary lighting and receptacles so essential areas—kitchen, bathrooms, internet—stay functional. If you work from home or have medical equipment, we arrange a dedicated temporary power supply. For very large or heavily plastered homes, a short relocation (2–3 nights) may be advisable during the heaviest demolition stage, and we will discuss this upfront.
Do you take care of permits and inspections?
Yes. Altamont and the surrounding county require an electrical permit for full rewires. Our project manager submits the plans, coordinates with the building department, and meets the inspector on site for both the rough-in and the final. All work is performed to the latest NEC, California Electrical Code, and any local amendments, ensuring a smooth approval process and documented code compliance for your records.
What factors affect the cost of a complete rewire?
Pricing is driven by square footage, ease of access (attic/basement vs. slab foundation), wall construction (drywall, lath and plaster, masonry), desired service-panel size, and upgrades such as whole-home surge protection or smart-home wiring. After a free walk-through, we provide a fixed-price proposal broken down by labor, materials, restoration, and permit fees. Typical Altamont projects range from $9 to $15 per finished square foot, but we offer financing options and phased scheduling to fit most budgets.
What kind of warranty and post-project support do you offer?
Our unparalleled craftsmanship is backed by a 10-year workmanship warranty and the manufacturer’s lifetime warranty on premium copper wiring and devices. If any outlet, switch, or breaker we installed fails within the first decade, we replace it at no charge. You’ll also receive an as-built wiring diagram, load calculations, and maintenance tips. Annual safety inspections for the first three years are included free of charge to ensure your new electrical system continues to perform flawlessly.
