FAQs
What exactly is a whole-home rewire and how do I know if my Dunlap property needs one?
A whole-home rewire replaces every branch circuit in your house—from the main service panel to the outlets, switches, and hard-wired fixtures. You should consider it if the home is 40+ years old, still has two-prong outlets or aluminum/Romex cloth wiring, breakers that trip frequently, or if you’re planning major renovations or adding high-demand loads like EV chargers. A detailed inspection by our licensed electricians will confirm whether a full rewire is the safest, most cost-effective option.
What modern technologies can you incorporate during my rewire?
Because we specialize in the latest electrical solutions, we can install smart load centers with app-based monitoring, AFCI/GFCI combination breakers, whole-house surge protection, Cat6 or fiber data cabling, dedicated circuits for EV chargers and solar inverters, and structured wiring panels for security and networking. We also rough-in conduit for future expansions so your new wiring is truly ‘future-proof.’
How long does a typical whole-home rewire take, and will I need to move out?
Most single-family homes in Dunlap (1,500–2,500 sq ft) take 5–7 working days for rough-in and another 1–2 days for device trim-out after inspection. Larger or heavily finished homes may take longer. You don’t always have to leave, but we recommend vacating during working hours because we’ll need to open walls, shut off power to sections of the house, and create dust and noise. If you must stay, we can create temporary circuits to keep critical appliances and internet online overnight.
What does a whole-home rewire cost in Dunlap?
As of 2024, most projects range from $9 to $14 per square foot, or roughly $14,000–$28,000 for an average-sized home. Pricing varies with square footage, accessibility (finished basement vs. open joists), service-panel upgrade needs, number of devices/outlets, smart-home features, and any drywall/paint repairs you’d like us to include. After a walkthrough we provide a fixed-price proposal so there are no surprises.
Will you handle permits, inspections, and local codes for me?
Yes. We pull all necessary electrical permits through the City of Dunlap or Sequatchie County, schedule rough-in and final inspections, and ensure every circuit meets the latest NEC (2023 edition) as well as local amendments. We also coordinate with TVA or your utility provider if a service-panel upgrade or temporary disconnect is required.
How does a modern rewire improve safety, energy efficiency, and resale value?
New copper wiring with proper grounding eliminates overheating and fire hazards common in outdated systems. AFCI/GFCI protection dramatically reduces shock and arc-fault risks. Smart load centers let you monitor usage and identify energy-hungry circuits, potentially lowering bills. Adding EV-ready and solar-ready infrastructure, data cabling, and plenty of code-spaced outlets makes the home more attractive to tech-savvy buyers, often boosting resale value by far more than the project cost.
