FAQs
Do I need a permit for residential rewiring in Dayton?
Yes. The City of Dayton requires an electrical permit for any substantial wiring work—including service upgrades, dedicated circuits, or whole-house rewiring. Our team handles the permit application through the Dayton Building Services Division, schedules the mandatory inspections, and ensures your project is fully code-compliant before final sign-off.
Are your electricians licensed and insured in Ohio?
Absolutely. Every field technician who will work on your property holds an Ohio State Fire Marshal electrical contractor license and carries at least $1 million in general liability insurance as well as workers’ compensation coverage. Copies of licenses and insurance certificates are available upon request for your peace of mind.
How much does a typical wiring upgrade cost in the Dayton area?
Costs vary with the size of the home, accessibility of existing wiring, and the scope (partial vs. whole-house). As a rule of thumb, partial upgrades (e.g., adding modern grounded circuits to kitchens or bathrooms) start around $1,200, while a complete rewiring of a 2,000 sq ft house in Dayton ranges from $8,000 to $15,000. After a free on-site assessment we provide a written, line-item estimate so there are no surprises.
How long will a whole-house rewiring project take?
For an average 2,000 sq ft home built before 1970, a complete rewiring with minimal drywall removal typically takes 5–7 working days. Larger homes, plaster walls, or upgrades like new service panels can extend the timeline to two weeks. We create a detailed schedule in advance and keep you informed of daily progress.
Can you work with older aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring?
Yes. We have extensive experience replacing or pig-tailing 1960s–70s aluminum branch circuits and safely decommissioning knob-and-tube systems common in Dayton’s historic neighborhoods. We follow NFPA 70 (NEC) guidelines, use approved copper-to-aluminum connectors when needed, and bring the entire system up to today’s grounding and GFCI/AFCI standards.
Will my power be disconnected during the project, and for how long?
To keep you comfortable, we phase our work so only the circuit being replaced is turned off. You will have full power in the rest of the house throughout most of the project. A complete shutdown is required only when we swap the main service panel, and that outage usually lasts 4–6 hours, scheduled at a time that minimizes disruption.
