FAQs
What are the most common signs my Andersonville home needs a complete rewire?
Frequent tripped breakers, flickering lights, warm or discolored outlets, two-prong (non-grounded) receptacles, and wiring that’s more than 40 years old are all red flags. If you’re experiencing any of these problems, schedule a professional inspection—outdated wiring can create serious fire and shock hazards.
How long does a whole-home rewire typically take?
For an average 1,800–2,200 sq ft Andersonville residence, a full rewire generally takes 5–10 business days. The timeline depends on the home’s size, accessibility of existing circuits, wall/ceiling construction, and whether you remain in the house during the project. We provide a detailed schedule before work begins so you always know what to expect.
Will I need a permit or inspection for a full rewire?
Yes. The City of Andersonville (and Metro Chicago) requires electrical permits and final inspections for any whole-house rewiring project. Our licensed electricians handle all permitting, coordinate with local inspectors, and ensure every step meets or exceeds current NEC and municipal codes.
Can I stay in my home while the rewiring is underway?
In many cases, yes. We rewire room-by-room to minimize disruptions, setting up temporary power where possible. However, if your project is extensive—such as knob-and-tube replacement or major panel relocation—we may recommend temporary relocation for safety and comfort. We discuss options during the initial consultation.
What factors influence the cost of a whole-home rewire?
Key cost drivers include the home’s square footage, number of circuits/outlets, accessibility of existing wiring, panel upgrades, and any required drywall or plaster repair. Optional enhancements—like adding smart-home controls, USB outlets, or dedicated circuits for EV chargers—also affect pricing. After our on-site assessment, you’ll receive a transparent, itemized quote with no hidden fees.
Do you offer warranties or guarantees on your rewiring work?
Absolutely. All labor is covered by a 5-year workmanship warranty, and we honor manufacturers’ warranties on materials and devices. In addition, we provide a lifetime guarantee that your new wiring meets current code on the date of installation—giving you peace of mind and added resale value.
