FAQs
What is a whole-home rewire and why might my Estill Springs property need one?
A whole-home rewire involves removing outdated or unsafe electrical wiring and installing new circuits, grounding, receptacles, and a modern breaker panel that meet current NEC code. Homes in Estill Springs built before the 1980s often have cloth-wrapped, aluminum, or undersized copper wiring that can overheat, trip breakers, or fail to support today’s power-hungry appliances. Rewiring eliminates fire hazards, adds capacity for HVAC upgrades, EV chargers, and smart-home devices, and can lower insurance premiums while boosting property value.
How long does a typical whole-home rewire take in Estill Springs?
Timeframes vary with house size, accessibility, and whether you remain in the home. A 1,500–2,000 sq ft single-story home generally takes 5–7 working days. Multi-story or larger homes can take 2–3 weeks. We complete a detailed walkthrough first, create a phased schedule (rough-in, inspection, trim-out), and coordinate with the local utility so power interruptions are kept to a minimum.
Will a complete rewire damage my walls and finishes?
Some wall, ceiling, and flooring access is unavoidable, but we use strategic fishing techniques, attic/crawl-space runs, and existing chases to minimize openings. We cut small, tidy access holes rather than large sections and protect floors and furniture with drop cloths. After inspection, we patch, sand, and prime all access points, leaving them paint-ready so the disruption to your home’s appearance is minor and temporary.
Do I need a permit for a whole-home rewire in Estill Springs, and will you handle it?
Yes. Franklin County and the City of Estill Springs require an electrical permit and inspection for any full rewire. Our licensed Master Electrician secures all permits, schedules rough-in and final inspections, and provides you with the approval stickers and documentation for your records. This ensures your new system is code-compliant and keeps your homeowner’s insurance in good standing.
How much does a whole-house rewiring project usually cost?
Costs depend on square footage, number of circuits, service-panel upgrade needs, and finish complexity. In Estill Springs, most projects fall between $6 and $10 per square foot, or roughly $9,000–$18,000 for an average 1,800 sq ft home. We give a fixed-price quote after an on-site assessment, so you know the exact investment before work begins. Financing options and phased upgrades are also available.
Can I stay in my home during the rewiring process?
In many cases, yes. We can rewire one section at a time, leaving critical circuits (refrigerator, HVAC, internet) energized whenever possible. We plan daily shutdown windows so you have power each evening. For extensive multi-day outages or if you work from home and need uninterrupted electricity, you may prefer temporary relocation or generator backup. We discuss all options during the planning stage to ensure minimal inconvenience.
