FAQs
Why should I consider an energy-efficient whole-home rewire in Greeneville?
Older wiring systems were not designed for today’s electrical loads or energy-saving technologies. A complete rewire upgrades outdated aluminum or knob-and-tube circuits to modern copper wiring, adds proper grounding, and installs a new breaker panel sized for high-efficiency HVAC, appliance, and lighting upgrades. The result is lower energy loss, fewer tripped breakers, greater fire safety, and the ability to integrate smart controls that cut utility costs by 10–30 percent.
How does a modern rewire actually improve energy efficiency?
New copper conductors have lower electrical resistance than aging or undersized wiring, so less power is wasted as heat. We also create dedicated circuits for large appliances, balance loads across phases, and install AFCI/GFCI devices that reduce nuisance trips you might otherwise solve by leaving lights or HVAC units running. When paired with LED lighting, Energy Star appliances, and smart thermostats, a rewire can slash standby losses and increase overall system efficiency.
What is included in your Greeneville whole-home rewire service?
Our turnkey package covers: (1) Comprehensive load calculation and energy audit, (2) Removal of old wiring and hazardous materials, (3) Installation of code-compliant copper NM-B or MC cable, (4) New 200-amp (or higher) main panel and surge protection, (5) Tamper-resistant outlets, USB and smart receptacles, and low-voltage runs for data/EV chargers, (6) Final inspection, TVA Green Switch® compatibility testing, and a 5-year workmanship warranty.
How long will a rewire take, and will I need to move out?
A typical 1,800–2,400 sq ft Greeneville home takes 3–7 days for rough-in, plus one day for trim-out and inspection. We schedule work in zones, so you can usually stay at home with short planned power shut-offs. For extensive plaster or historic properties, we offer optional weekend or vacation-week scheduling to minimize disruption and provide dust-containment barriers to protect living areas.
Are there rebates or incentives available for energy-efficient rewiring projects?
Yes. The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) offers Home Uplift grants for qualifying efficiency upgrades, and the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit (25C) allows up to a 30 % tax credit on panel upgrades needed to support high-efficiency equipment, capped at $600. Greeneville Light & Power customers may also qualify for on-bill financing at low interest when the rewire is combined with heat-pump or insulation improvements.
What does an energy-efficient whole-home rewire cost and how can I pay for it?
Costs vary with home size, accessibility, and panel capacity, but most Greeneville projects range from $8,000 to $18,000. We provide a fixed-price quote after a free assessment. Financing options include 12-month same-as-cash, 5- to 10-year low-interest loans through GLPS/TVA, and lump-sum payment scheduling to coordinate with other remodel phases. Because rewiring can reduce insurance premiums and energy bills, many homeowners see a 5- to 7-year payback on the investment.
