FAQs
Why might my Decherd home need a whole-house rewire?
Most houses in Decherd that were wired 30–50 years ago were not designed for today’s electrical loads. Aging copper insulation can become brittle, many 1960s–1970s homes have now-outlawed aluminum branch circuits, and older knob-and-tube wiring offers no grounding protection. Flickering lights, frequently tripped breakers, warm outlets, or the lack of three-prong receptacles are all indicators that the wiring is nearing the end of its safe life. A complete rewire eliminates these hazards, brings the system up to current NEC code, and gives you the capacity to safely run modern appliances, HVAC equipment, and electronics.
What is Peace of Mind Electrical’s whole-home rewiring process?
1) Free on-site evaluation: We inspect panels, branch circuits, and grounding, then provide a detailed, fixed-price proposal. 2) Permit & planning: Our team secures all City of Decherd/Franklin County electrical permits and maps out circuit routes to minimize wall disruption. 3) Rough-in: Old wiring is removed, new copper conductors, grounded receptacles, and AFCI/GFCI protection are installed. 4) Service upgrade (if needed): We replace undersized panels or meter bases to 200 A or higher. 5) Inspection: County or city inspectors verify NEC compliance. 6) Trim-out & finish: Devices and cover plates are installed, walls are patched, and the jobsite is cleaned. 7) Walk-through & warranty: You receive a workmanship warranty and all inspection paperwork.
How long will a full rewire take and will I have to move out?
Most 1,500–2,500 sq ft Decherd homes take 5–7 working days, spread over two weeks to accommodate inspections and drywall patching. We phase the project so critical circuits—refrigerator, HVAC, some lighting—are powered at the end of each workday. You can usually stay in the home, though you’ll experience short, planned outages and limited room access while crews work.
Will the rewiring damage my walls and ceilings?
A rewire does involve opening drywall, but our technicians use stud-finder mapping and flexible drill bits to keep openings as small as possible. Most holes are 4×4 inches or less and located behind baseboards or switch plates. After wiring is inspected, we provide standard drywall patch and texture matching; you only need to handle final paint touch-ups if you want a perfect finish. We also protect floors and furniture with drop cloths and daily cleanup.
What does a whole-house rewire cost in Decherd?
Because every home’s size and accessibility differ, costs generally range from $7 to $12 per finished square foot. A 2,000 sq ft ranch might run $15,000–$20,000, while a two-story 3,500 sq ft home can exceed $30,000. Factors include: number of circuits, service-panel upgrade, attic/crawl-space accessibility, fixture replacements, and any code-required smoke-detector additions. Peace of Mind Electrical provides a firm, itemized quote up front—no surprises.
Are permits and inspections required, and do you handle them?
Yes. Franklin County and the City of Decherd both mandate electrical permits and a minimum of two inspections (rough-in and final) for any whole-house rewire. Peace of Mind Electrical pulls all permits under our state contractor license, coordinates inspection dates, meets inspectors on-site, and provides you with signed approval stickers and a copy of the permit for your records. This ensures your rewire is fully documented, insurable, and compliant with the current National Electrical Code.
