FAQs
What does a whole-home rewire involve, and why might I need one?
A whole-home rewire means removing most or all of the existing branch-circuit wiring and installing new copper conductors, modern grounding, arc-fault and ground-fault protection, and an up-to-date service panel. Homes in Gruetli-Laager built before the mid-1980s may contain deteriorated cloth insulation, aluminum branch circuits, or knob-and-tube wiring—all of which pose fire and shock hazards and usually fail modern National Electrical Code (NEC) standards. Rewiring eliminates these risks, increases electrical capacity for today’s appliance loads, and can dramatically raise home value and insurability.
How can I tell if my Gruetli-Laager house needs to be rewired?
Typical warning signs include frequently tripped breakers or blown fuses, lights that dim when large appliances start, outlets that spark or feel warm, a burning smell from panels or receptacles, two-prong (ungrounded) outlets, or any visible cloth-covered or brittle wiring. If the home still has a 60-amp or 100-amp service, knob-and-tube circuits, or aluminum branch wiring from the 1970s, a licensed inspection is strongly recommended. Our electricians offer free assessments to confirm whether a full or partial rewire is the safest option.
Are your electricians licensed and insured to perform rewires in Tennessee?
Yes. Every technician on our rewire crew holds a Tennessee Limited Licensed Electrician (LLE) or Electrical Contractor license, carries $1 million in liability insurance, and maintains current workers’ compensation coverage. We pull all required permits with the City of Gruetli-Laager or Grundy County Building Codes Office and schedule every rough-in and final inspection so your project is 100 % code-compliant and fully documented for resale or insurance purposes.
How long does a whole-house rewire usually take?
Duration depends on square footage, attic/crawlspace accessibility, and whether the home is occupied during the work. A 1,500-sq-ft single-story house can often be completed in 3–5 working days, while a 3,000-sq-ft multi-story home with plaster walls may take 7–10 days. Our team develops a detailed schedule before starting, and we coordinate with the utility company to limit power interruptions to a few hours at a time, usually during daylight hours.
Do I have to move out while the rewire is done, and how disruptive is the process?
Most clients remain in their homes. We rewire one section at a time, keeping critical circuits—such as refrigeration and HVAC—energized whenever possible. Furniture is covered, floor protection is laid, and daily cleanup is performed to reduce dust. If walls must be opened, we cut neat access points that drywall crews can patch easily afterward. For very large homes or when extensive drywall removal is necessary, a short temporary relocation may be advised, but this is rare.
What will the project cost and what factors affect pricing?
In Gruetli-Laager, a complete rewire for an average 1,800-sq-ft home typically ranges from $8,000 to $15,000, including permits and final inspection. Costs rise with square footage, number of circuits, new panel or meter upgrades, smart-home or surge-protection add-ons, and how much finish repair (drywall, paint) is required. After an on-site evaluation we provide a fixed-price proposal that lists every labor and materials line item so you know exactly where your investment is going.
