FAQs
Why would my Harrison home need a complete electrical rewire?
Many Harrison houses were built before modern electrical standards existed. If your home still has knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuits from the 1960s–70s, or a service panel smaller than 100 amps, you are at higher risk for overloaded circuits, shocks, and electrical fires. A whole-home rewire replaces outdated conductors, adds grounded outlets, and upgrades the service panel so it can safely handle today’s appliance, HVAC, and electronics loads while meeting the current National Electrical Code (NEC) and Westchester County amendments.
What exactly is included in a comprehensive whole-home rewire service?
Our rewire projects are turn-key. We begin with a detailed load calculation and mapping of every existing circuit. After obtaining Harrison Building Department permits, we: • Remove or abandon obsolete wiring • Pull new copper NM-B or MC cable to every receptacle, switch, and fixture • Add dedicated circuits for kitchens, baths, laundry, HVAC, EV chargers, and smart-home gear • Install tamper-resistant, GFCI and AFCI-protected outlets per code • Upgrade or replace the main service panel and meter, typically to 200 amps • Label every circuit, schedule inspections, and patch wall openings. The result is a code-compliant, future-ready electrical system backed by our workmanship warranty.
How long will a whole-home rewire take, and do I have to move out?
A rewire for an average 2,000 sq ft Harrison house takes 5–10 working days. Large or heavily finished homes can take up to three weeks. We phase the work so essential circuits (refrigerator, heat/AC, internet) are re-energized each evening, meaning most clients stay in the home. If extensive plaster or custom wall finishes must be opened, you may choose to relocate temporarily for comfort, but it is rarely mandatory.
What permits and inspections are required in Harrison, and do you handle them?
Yes. As a licensed Westchester County electrical contractor, we apply for the electrical permit with the Harrison Building Department, coordinate utility disconnect/reconnect with Con Edison, and schedule all interim and final inspections. The project is not considered complete until the municipal electrical inspector issues a Certificate of Compliance, which we provide for your records and insurance.
How much does a full rewire cost, and what factors affect price?
In Harrison, a typical 1,500-2,500 sq ft home rewire runs $12,000–$22,000, including permitting and patching basic drywall openings. Variables include house size and number of circuits, access (unfinished basement vs. finished ceilings), desired service-panel size, specialty wiring (Ethernet, speakers, EV chargers), and restoration level (simple patch vs. full repaint). We give a detailed, line-item estimate after a free on-site assessment so you know exactly what is included before work starts.
What benefits will I see after rewiring, and will it raise my home’s value?
A fresh electrical system delivers immediate safety—GFCIs, AFCIs, proper grounding, and elimination of overheated conductors drastically reduce fire risk. You’ll gain reliability (no more tripped breakers), capacity for high-demand appliances, and the infrastructure for solar, battery storage, or smart-home upgrades. Local real-estate agents report that a documented rewire can add 3–5 % to resale value in Harrison because buyers avoid insurance surcharges tied to outdated wiring. Most insurers also offer premium discounts once a rewire certificate is supplied.
