FAQs
Why might a Deer Lodge homeowner need a whole-home rewire?
Many houses in Deer Lodge were built before modern electrical codes existed and still rely on outdated knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. These older systems weren’t designed for today’s power demands—large kitchen appliances, HVAC equipment, computer networks, and electric-vehicle chargers. A whole-home rewire replaces undersized conductors, adds grounded circuits, and installs arc-fault/ground-fault protection, greatly reducing fire and shock hazards while bringing the property up to current NEC and Montana state code requirements.
How long does a typical whole-home rewire take?
For an average 1,500–2,000 sq ft Deer Lodge home, a rewire usually takes 5–10 working days. Smaller cottages can be finished in 3–4 days, while large or complex homes may run 2–3 weeks. We phase the project—rough-in, inspection, and trim-out—so essential circuits (refrigerator, internet, heat) stay live as much as possible. After our final electrical inspection passes, we patch drywall the same day so you can repaint and re-occupy quickly.
Will a rewire destroy my walls and historic finishes?
No. We use minimally invasive methods: surface-mount raceways in unfinished basements, fish tapes through existing wall cavities, and infrared stud finders to locate voids. In plaster or log homes we cut neat slots only where necessary and photograph each opening for your records before sealing with matching material. On average, less than 5 % of wall surface is disturbed, and we include patching and a rough sand so you only need final paint.
Can you integrate smart-home and energy-efficient technology during the rewire?
Absolutely. Because we are opening the walls anyway, a rewire is the ideal time to add Cat-6 data cabling, whole-house surge protection, EV-charger circuits, smart switches, LED lighting, and dedicated solar-ready conduits. We design a panel layout that leaves spare breaker space for future battery storage or micro-inverters, and we pre-label junction boxes for easy upgrades later.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost in Deer Lodge?
Costs vary with square footage, accessibility, and desired upgrades. In 2024, typical ranges are: • 1,000 sq ft cabin: $9,000–$12,000 • 1,500–2,000 sq ft ranch: $14,000–$19,000 • 2,500 sq ft+ or historic homes: $20,000–$30,000+ Price includes permitting, new 200-amp service panel, AFCI/GFCI breakers, tamper-resistant receptacles, and drywall repair. Adding smart-home hubs, EV chargers, or generator interlock kits increases cost modestly. We provide a fixed quote after a free on-site assessment.
Do I need to move out during the rewire, and how should I prepare?
Most clients stay in the home. We set up temporary power to critical areas and work room-by-room, so you always have lighting, refrigeration, and internet. For safety and speed, we ask you to clear furniture 3 ft from walls, remove fragile items from shelves, and crate pets during work hours. If you’re renovating other trades simultaneously—plumbing, HVAC, insulation—coordinate schedules so we can run new wiring before surfaces are closed up.
