FAQs
Why might a Dayton homeowner need a whole-home rewire?
Homes in Dayton built before the mid-1970s often contain outdated aluminum branch circuits, two-prong receptacles, and cloth-insulated wiring that no longer meet current electrical code or demand. A whole-home rewire eliminates safety risks such as overheating, arcing, and breaker trips, while providing the capacity needed for today’s high-load appliances, smart devices, and electric-vehicle chargers.
What modern materials and technologies do you use during a rewire?
We install copper NM-B or MC cable with PVC insulation for superior conductivity and heat resistance, AFCI/GFCI combo breakers for fire and shock protection, tamper-resistant outlets, and smart load centers that integrate with mobile apps. All components meet or exceed the latest NEC (2023) and Dayton 2024 municipal amendments. Where feasible, we add whole-home surge protection and pre-wire for future solar or battery backup connections.
How long does a typical whole-home rewire take in the Dayton area?
Most 1,800–2,500 sq ft Dayton homes take 5–10 working days. The timeline includes planning and permitting (1–2 days), rough-in wiring (3–5 days), inspection by the City of Dayton (1 day), and final trim-out (1–2 days). Larger homes or those with plaster walls may take longer, but we provide a detailed schedule up front and coordinate inspections to minimize delays.
Can I stay in my home while it’s being rewired?
Yes—about 70 % of our customers remain in their homes. We rewire one section at a time, setting up temporary circuits so you keep essential lighting, HVAC, internet, and refrigeration. For safety, we seal work zones daily, clean up debris, and shut off only the branch circuits being replaced. Families with remote-work needs or small children often choose to stay, while others prefer a short hotel stay during the rough-in phase.
Will rewiring improve my home’s value, efficiency, and insurance rates?
Absolutely. A new electrical system supports high-efficiency HVAC, induction ranges, EV chargers, and solar inverters—lowering energy consumption and utility costs. Real-estate agents report a 3-5 % resale value bump for fully updated wiring in the Dayton market. Many insurers also lower premiums or remove surcharges tied to outdated wiring, potentially saving $50–$150 per year.
What does a whole-home rewire cost in Dayton and are financing options available?
Project cost depends on square footage, number of circuits, and accessibility. In Dayton, most rewires fall between $8 and $14 per finished square foot, or roughly $14 k–$28 k for an average home. We offer zero-interest financing for 12 months, low-interest terms up to 60 months, and guidance on using Ohio’s Energy Efficiency rebates when adding smart panels or EV circuits. Every proposal includes a fixed-price quote, permit fees, and inspection costs—no surprises.
