FAQs
Why would I need a whole-home rewire in Elora?
Homes in Elora that still contain knob-and-tube, aluminum, or fabric-sheathed wiring are at higher risk of overheating, arcing, and electrical fires. Rewiring eliminates these hazards, brings the residence up to the current Ontario Electrical Safety Code, increases available circuit capacity for modern appliances, and can reduce insurance premiums or satisfy insurance requirements.
What is involved in a whole-home rewiring project?
Our licensed electricians start with a detailed load calculation and inspection. We then obtain the required Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) permit, replace all branch circuits, upgrade the service panel if needed, install new grounded receptacles, tamper-resistant outlets, and arc-fault/ground-fault protection, and label every circuit. We coordinate drywall repair and patching so the walls are left ready for painting, and schedule final ESA inspection and approval.
How long does a typical whole-home rewire take?
A standard 1,500–2,000 sq ft Elora home generally takes 5–10 working days. Factors such as finished basement ceilings, plaster walls, heritage features, or simultaneous service-panel upgrades can extend the timeline. We provide a detailed schedule before work begins so you know exactly what to expect.
Will a rewire disrupt my daily life? Do I have to move out?
Power to sections of the house is shut off in stages so you keep electricity in key areas whenever possible. Furniture is covered and pathways are protected. Many clients stay in the home, but if you work from home or have small children, you may prefer temporary accommodation for a few days. We discuss your needs up front and create a plan that minimizes inconvenience.
Are permits or inspections required for rewiring in Elora?
Yes. In Ontario, any whole-home rewire requires an Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) Notification of Work. Our team files this permit, schedules all mandatory rough-in and final inspections, and provides you with the ESA Certificate of Acceptance once the job passes. This document is often required by home insurers and for future real-estate transactions.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost and what affects the price?
Costs in Elora typically range from $8 to $15 per square foot. Pricing varies with the home’s size, accessibility of walls and ceilings, panel upgrades, fixture replacements, the number of new circuits, and any heritage-preservation requirements. After an on-site assessment we supply a fixed-price quote that breaks down labour, materials, permits, and patching so you have full cost transparency.
