FAQs
What exactly is a whole-home rewire and why might my Fayetteville house need one?
A whole-home rewire replaces all existing branch-circuit wiring—from the service panel to the last outlet—with new copper conductors, properly sized breakers, modern receptacles, switches, and grounding. Homes more than 40 years old, properties with aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, frequent breaker trips, scorched outlets, or major remodeling plans are prime candidates. Rewiring eliminates fire hazards, brings the home up to the current National Electrical Code (NEC) as adopted by Fayetteville/Cumberland County, and adds the capacity required for today’s high-demand appliances, EV chargers, and smart-home systems.
How long does a full house rewire usually take?
Duration depends on the home’s size, accessibility, and whether the walls are open or finished. A typical 1,800- to 2,200-sq-ft Fayetteville home with finished walls takes 5–10 working days, including rough-in, inspection, and trim-out. Larger or heavily occupied homes can run 2–3 weeks. We provide a detailed schedule before starting and keep you updated daily so you can plan around any short power shut-offs.
Do I have to leave my home while the rewiring is done?
Most clients stay in their homes. We rewire one section at a time, leaving temporary power to essential circuits (HVAC, refrigerator, internet) whenever safely possible. You’ll experience daytime power interruptions, wall/ceiling openings, and some dust. If you work from home or have small children, you may prefer to spend a few days elsewhere during the rough-in phase, but relocation isn’t mandatory and many homeowners remain onsite.
What does a whole-home rewire cost in the Fayetteville area?
Pricing varies with square footage, number of circuits, wall/ceiling access, service-panel upgrades, and fixture choices. Most projects fall between $8,000 and $20,000, with larger or historic homes occasionally exceeding that range. After a free in-home assessment, we give you a fixed, itemized quote that covers labor, materials, permit fees, and inspections—no surprises later.
Are permits and inspections required, and do you handle them?
Yes. Fayetteville and Cumberland County require an electrical permit and rough-in/final inspections for any rewire. We submit all permit applications, schedule inspection appointments, and meet with the inspector on your behalf. Your project isn’t considered complete—or your final payment due—until it passes the final inspection and you receive a copy of the approval for your records.
How can I be sure the new wiring is safe and compliant, and what warranty do you provide?
We follow the 2023 NEC and all local amendments, pull copper THHN/THWN conductors in EMT or Romex as appropriate, install AFCI/GFCI protection where required, and label every breaker. After the city’s final inspection we perform a proprietary 50-point quality check, including infrared scanning for hot spots and voltage-drop tests. You receive a detailed report plus a lifetime workmanship warranty and a 5-year parts warranty on all devices we supply.
