FAQs
Why would I need a whole-home rewire in Dandridge?
Homes built before the mid-1980s often contain outdated aluminum, knob-and-tube, or cloth-insulated wiring that is prone to overheating, arcing, and insulation failure. Other warning signs include constantly tripping breakers, flickering lights, warm outlets, or a lack of grounded (three-prong) receptacles. Insurance carriers may also require a rewire before issuing or renewing a policy. A complete rewire removes these hazards, brings the electrical system up to current NEC and Tennessee state codes, and provides the capacity needed for modern appliances, HVAC equipment, and electronics.
How long does a whole-house rewire take, and will I have to move out during the project?
The duration depends on the size of the home, the ease of attic/crawl-space access, and the amount of finished wall surface. In Dandridge, a typical 1,500–2,500 sq ft residence takes 5–10 working days. We usually re-energize essential circuits at the end of each day so you can remain in the home, though you may experience temporary outages in individual rooms. For extensive plaster repairs or if the panel must be relocated, some homeowners choose to stay elsewhere for 2–3 nights. Peace of Mind Electrical provides dust containment, daily cleanup, and clear scheduling so you always know which areas will be affected.
What exactly is included in Peace of Mind Electrical’s whole-home rewire service?
Our turnkey package covers: (1) an on-site load calculation and written estimate; (2) pulling all required Jefferson County and State of Tennessee permits; (3) removal or safe abandonment of existing branch circuits; (4) installation of new copper wiring, properly sized breakers, AFCI/GFCI protection, tamper-resistant receptacles, and hard-wired smoke/CO detectors; (5) surge protection and dedicated circuits for HVAC, kitchen, and EV chargers if desired; (6) labeling of every breaker; and (7) coordination of rough-in and final inspections. We include light drywall patching and a one-year workmanship warranty.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost in the Dandridge area?
Because every property is unique, costs vary with square footage, number of stories, and finish requirements. As a guideline, most projects fall between $8 and $15 per square foot. For example, a 1,800 sq ft ranch typically ranges from $14,000 to $20,000, while a larger two-story home with limited attic access might reach $25,000. Optional panel upgrades, recessed lighting, or smart-home controls add to the total. Peace of Mind Electrical offers free written estimates, transparent line-item pricing, and financing options to spread payments over 12–60 months.
Will a rewire really improve the value and safety of my home?
Absolutely. The U.S. Fire Administration cites electrical problems as a leading cause of residential fires, most of which involve aging conductors. A modern code-compliant system drastically reduces that risk, provides cleaner power to sensitive electronics, and eliminates nuisance breaker trips. Many insurers grant premium discounts for updated wiring, and real-estate agents report that a documented rewire can raise home value and shorten time on market by removing an obstacle for buyers’ lenders and inspectors.
Is Peace of Mind Electrical licensed and insured, and do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We hold a Tennessee Electrical Contractor license (#00000000 for illustration) and maintain $2 million in general liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Our team handles all permits with Jefferson County Building & Codes, schedules rough-in and final inspections, and remains on-site during each inspection to address any questions. You receive a copy of the signed inspection approval and a transferable one-year labor warranty, giving you complete peace of mind.
