FAQs
Why would a Dayton homeowner need a whole-home rewire?
Many houses in Dayton were built before modern electrical demands. If your home still has knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuits from the 1960s-70s, frequent breaker trips, or outlets that are ungrounded or constantly warm, a full rewire brings the system up to current NEC and City of Dayton building codes, eliminates safety hazards, and supports today’s high-power appliances and electronics.
What does a whole-home rewiring project involve?
Our licensed electricians create a room-by-room wiring plan, obtain all Dayton permits, and carefully remove outdated conductors. New copper wiring, grounded receptacles, GFCI/AFCI protection, and a properly sized service panel are installed. We patch drywall, label circuits, and schedule inspections with the Dayton Building Services Division. The result is a code-compliant, future-ready electrical system.
How long does a complete rewire typically take in the Dayton area?
An average 1,500–2,000 sq ft home usually takes 5–10 working days, depending on house size, accessibility of walls, and whether you remain in the home during the work. Older plaster walls, finished basements, or custom trim can extend the timeline. We provide a detailed schedule after the initial on-site assessment.
Will I have to move out while my house is being rewired?
Not necessarily. Many Dayton clients stay in their homes. We rewire in stages, keeping essential circuits energized each evening and sealing work zones. However, if you work from home or have small children, temporarily relocating can reduce inconvenience and slightly speed up the project. We discuss options during the estimate.
How much does a whole-house rewire cost in Dayton?
Costs vary with home size, number of circuits, service-panel upgrade needs, and finish level. In Dayton, recent projects have ranged from $8–$14 per square foot, with a typical 1,800 sq ft home totaling $15,000–$25,000. After a free evaluation, we provide a fixed, itemized quote covering labor, materials, permits, and inspections—no surprises.
Is a permit and inspection really required for a rewire?
Yes. The City of Dayton and surrounding Montgomery County jurisdictions mandate electrical permits for any whole-home rewire. Licensed electricians pull the permits, and city inspectors verify rough-in and final wiring to the 2023 National Electrical Code. Skipping permits can void insurance and delay future home sales. We handle all paperwork so your project meets every legal and safety requirement.
