FAQs
Why might a Corryton home need a whole-house rewiring?
Many houses in Corryton were built before modern electrical codes existed. If your home still has knob-and-tube, aluminum branch circuits, two-prong outlets, or undersized service capacity, a full rewire is the safest long-term solution. Rewiring reduces fire risk, eliminates overloaded circuits, adds grounding for surge protection, and prepares your house for today’s high-demand appliances and electronics.
How long does a seamless full-home rewire usually take?
Most single-family homes (1,500–2,500 sq ft) are completed in 5–10 working days. We perform a detailed walkthrough first, then stage the job so rough-in, inspection, and finish work flow back-to-back. Larger homes or projects with extensive wall/ceiling repairs can take a bit longer, but our process is designed to minimize downtime and keep each phase on schedule.
Will I have to move out during the rewiring process?
Not necessarily. We rewire in zones, so a portion of the house remains powered while we work in another. You may lose power to certain rooms for a day or two, and we’ll coordinate with you to keep essentials—refrigerator, internet, HVAC—running whenever possible. Some clients choose to stay elsewhere for comfort, but it isn’t required.
Does the service include a new panel and code compliance upgrades?
Yes. A whole-home rewire typically includes replacing the main service panel, upgrading the meter base if needed, installing arc-fault and ground-fault protection, adding grounded three-prong outlets, and labeling every circuit. All work meets or exceeds the current 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) as adopted by Knox County and the City of Corryton.
What affects the cost of a complete rewire in Corryton?
Pricing depends on square footage, number of circuits, accessibility (finished basement vs. crawlspace), extent of drywall/ceiling repairs, and any service-panel or meter upgrades. On average, Corryton homeowners invest $8–$12 per square foot. We provide a fixed-price proposal after a free onsite evaluation, so there are no surprises.
Do I need permits and inspections, and who handles them?
Yes. Knox County requires electrical permits and two inspections—rough-in and final—whenever wiring is altered. As a licensed, bonded, and insured electrical contractor, we pull all necessary permits, coordinate inspection dates, and deliver the green-tagged approval paperwork to you for your records.
