FAQs
What are the most common signs my Georgetown home needs a full electrical rewire?
Frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, warm or discolored outlets, two-prong (ungrounded) receptacles, and aluminum branch wiring are all red flags. Homes built before the mid-1980s often lack the capacity and safety features required by modern electrical codes. If you’re planning a major remodel, installing high-demand appliances, or buying an older property, a professional inspection can confirm whether a whole-home rewire is the safest solution.
What does the whole-home rewiring process involve and how long will it take?
A typical rewire starts with a detailed load calculation and code-compliant design. Our licensed technicians then remove outdated conductors, install new copper wiring, upgrade the service panel, and add dedicated circuits for kitchens, laundry rooms, HVAC, and EV chargers as needed. Old outlets are replaced with tamper-resistant, grounded receptacles, and AFCI/GFCI protection is added where required. In most 1,800–2,500 sq ft Georgetown homes the job takes 5–10 business days, depending on attic/crawl space access and drywall repair requirements.
Will rewiring damage my walls and disrupt my daily routine?
We use minimally invasive techniques such as fishing wires through attics, crawl spaces, and existing chases to limit cutting. When wall access is unavoidable, we keep openings small and mark them for easy patching. Plastic protection, daily cleanup, and vacuuming help contain dust. Power can usually be restored to critical circuits each evening, so you can still use essentials like lighting, refrigeration, and internet during the project.
How much does a complete rewire cost in Georgetown?
Costs vary with square footage, accessibility, and service upgrades. As a guideline, most single-story homes fall between $8 and $12 per square foot, including labor, materials, permits, and basic drywall repair. Two-story or historic homes with plaster walls, knob-and-tube removal, or panel upsizing can rise to $14–$18 per square foot.

Do you handle permits and inspections with the City of Georgetown?
Absolutely. Whole-home rewires require a city permit and multiple inspections for rough-in, service panel, and final sign-off. Our team completes the permit application, schedules inspections with the Georgetown Building Inspection Department, and remains on-site to answer the inspector’s questions. This ensures your new wiring meets current NEC and local amendments, protects your insurance coverage, and increases resale value.
Can I add smart-home features or EV charging during the rewire?
Yes. A rewire is the perfect time to future-proof your property. We can pre-wire Cat-6 data cabling, whole-house surge protection, smart switches, home-automation hubs, security camera power, and 40- to 60-amp circuits for Level-2 EV chargers in your garage. By planning ahead, you avoid extra labor down the road and ensure your electrical infrastructure is ready for tomorrow’s technology.
