FAQs
Why would a Dandridge homeowner need a whole-home rewire?
Many homes in Dandridge were built before modern electrical demands existed. Aging wiring (knob-and-tube, aluminum, or cloth-insulated cable) can overheat, lack grounding, or be undersized for today’s appliances and electronics. A full rewire ensures your electrical system meets current NEC safety standards, supports higher loads, eliminates fire hazards, and adds resale value.
How long does a professional whole-home rewiring project usually take?
For an average 1,800–2,500 sq ft house in Dandridge, a typical rewire takes 5–10 working days. Factors that lengthen the timeline include plaster walls, limited attic/crawlspace access, custom trim that must be removed, or concurrent remodeling work. We create a detailed schedule beforehand and coordinate inspections to minimize downtime.
Will I have to move out while my house is being rewired?
Not necessarily. We usually rewire in stages, shutting off power only to the circuit we’re working on. Most clients stay in the home, although there will be daytime disruptions—noise, limited lighting, and temporary drywall access holes. If we’re upgrading the main service panel or if you work from home and need uninterrupted power, you may choose to relocate for 1–2 days.
What is included in your Dandridge whole-home rewire service?
Our turnkey service covers: (1) in-depth load calculation and design; (2) removal or bypass of obsolete wiring; (3) installation of new copper Romex wiring, AFCI/GFCI protection, and grounded receptacles; (4) new service panel or sub-panels if needed; (5) low-voltage and smart-home pre-wiring on request; (6) Jefferson County permitting, utility coordination, and all required inspections; and (7) drywall patching and clean-up so your walls are ready to paint.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost in the Dandridge area?
Costs vary with home size, accessibility, and service-panel upgrades, but most projects fall between $8–$14 per finished square foot. A 2,000 sq ft ranch might run $16,000–$24,000, including permits and materials. We provide a fixed-price proposal after a free on-site evaluation, so you know the exact investment before work begins.
Is a permit required, and are you licensed to perform rewires in Dandridge?
Yes. Jefferson County Building Department requires an electrical permit and rough/final inspections for all whole-house rewires. Our company holds a Tennessee Electrical Contractor license (#EC-XXXX) and carries $2 million in liability insurance. We handle all permitting and schedule both the rough-in and final inspections to ensure your new wiring is fully code-compliant and safe.
