FAQs
Why might I need a whole-home rewire?
Homes built before the mid-1980s often contain aluminum branch circuits, cloth-wrapped conductors, or lack sufficient grounding. These materials deteriorate over time, increasing the risk of shocks, outages, and fires. A whole-home rewire from HEP Electrical replaces every outdated circuit with new copper conductors, modern grounding, and AFCI/GFCI protection, bringing your Benton residence up to current NEC safety standards and making it ready for today’s high-demand appliances.
What signs indicate my Benton home’s wiring is outdated or unsafe?
Frequent breaker trips, dimming or flickering lights, warm or discolored outlets, two-prong receptacles, a burning odor near switches, or visible cloth or aluminum wiring are red flags. If your insurance carrier has requested an electrical inspection or you’re planning a remodel or solar installation, those are also good times to evaluate whether a full rewire is the safest, most cost-effective solution.
How long does a typical whole-house rewiring project take?
For an average 1,800–2,200 sq ft home in Benton, the rough-in phase generally takes 3–5 working days, followed by inspections and final trim-out for a total of 7–10 days on site. Larger or heavily finished homes can take two to three weeks. HEP Electrical assigns a dedicated crew and project manager, so schedules are clear, and any unforeseen issues (such as hidden junction boxes or termite damage) are addressed promptly without extending the timeline unnecessarily.
Will a rewire disrupt my daily life and damage walls?
Some disruption is unavoidable, but at HEP Electrical we use minimally invasive techniques: strategic drywall cuts, attic and crawl-space access, and drop cloths to protect your belongings. We coordinate power shut-offs in small sections so you still have lights and HVAC in most rooms each evening. After rough-in, we patch cutouts to a paint-ready finish and clean up daily, allowing you to remain in the house safely during the project in most cases.
Do I need a permit, and will HEP Electrical handle inspections?
Yes. Benton and Saline County require an electrical permit and two inspections—rough-in and final—to ensure the work meets NEC and local code. HEP Electrical pulls the permit on your behalf, schedules all inspections, and meets the inspector on site. Upon project completion you receive a signed inspection card, compliance documentation for your records, and an updated panel schedule for future service work.
How much does a full rewire cost in Benton and what financing options are available?
Costs vary with square footage, accessibility, panel upgrades, and optional items such as whole-home surge protection or EV charger circuits. As a rule of thumb, expect $4–$7 per heated square foot. HEP Electrical provides a detailed, fixed-price proposal after a free on-site evaluation. We partner with local lenders for 0% short-term and low-interest long-term financing, and we accept all major credit cards. A full rewire often lowers insurance premiums and increases resale value, helping offset the upfront investment.
