FAQs
Why should I consider a whole-home rewire for my Decherd residence?
Many older Decherd homes were built with wiring that is no longer adequate for today’s power demands. A whole-home rewire eliminates outdated knob-and-tube or aluminum branch circuits, replaces brittle insulation, and installs a properly sized service panel. This improves safety by reducing fire risks, supports modern appliances, enables smart-home upgrades, and often lowers insurance premiums.
What signs indicate that my electrical system needs to be rewired?
Common warning signs include frequently tripped breakers, dimming or flickering lights, warm or discolored outlets, two-prong receptacles with no ground, a lack of GFCI protection in kitchens and baths, the smell of burning plastic, or visible cloth-wrapped wiring in the attic or crawl space. If your home was built before 1975 and has not been upgraded, an electrical inspection is strongly advised.
What does the rewiring process involve?
Our licensed electricians begin with a detailed load calculation and code review. We then map existing circuits, remove outdated conductors, and pull new copper wiring that meets current NEC standards. A new service panel, grounded outlets, AFCI/GFCI protection, surge suppression, and dedicated circuits for HVAC, EV chargers, or future solar are installed. All work is inspected and permitted through the City of Decherd or Franklin County as required.
How long will the project take and will I need to leave my home?
A typical 1,800–2,400 sq ft single-family home in Decherd takes 5–7 working days to complete. We schedule the work in phases so power can be temporarily restored at night, allowing most families to stay in the home. Larger or very old houses may require up to two weeks. We keep you informed daily and coordinate any necessary shut-offs to minimize inconvenience.
Will rewiring damage my walls and finishes?
We use a combination of attic/crawl-space access and strategic wall fishing to limit drywall removal. Small access holes (roughly the size of a light switch) are cut where necessary, and we patch them after wiring is pulled. Our team protects floors and furniture with drop cloths and cleans up at the end of each day. If extensive plaster repair or repainting is needed, we can coordinate with local finishing contractors.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost in Decherd and are financing options available?
Pricing depends on square footage, accessibility, and the number of new circuits, but most projects range from $7–$11 per square foot. A 2,000 sq ft home typically falls between $14,000 and $22,000, including permits and inspection fees. We provide a detailed, fixed-price quote after a free on-site assessment. Zero-interest financing for 12 months or low-interest plans up to 60 months are available, and we accept TVA energy-efficiency grants when applicable.
