FAQs
Why might a Harrison home need a complete electrical rewire?
Homes in Harrison that are more than 30-40 years old often have outdated wiring that was not designed for today’s high electrical loads. Signs you may need a whole-home rewire include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, warm outlets or switches, aluminum branch wiring, or the presence of two-prong (ungrounded) receptacles. A full rewire brings the system up to current NEC code, improves safety, and adds capacity for modern electronics and future upgrades.
How long does a whole-home rewire usually take in Harrison?
The timeline depends on the size of the home, accessibility of walls and ceilings, and whether the house is occupied during the project. A 1,500-sq-ft ranch may take 5–7 working days, while a 3,000-sq-ft two-story can take 2–3 weeks. We provide a detailed schedule before work begins and coordinate closely with the homeowner to minimize disruption.
Will I have to move out while my house is being rewired?
Not usually. Many Harrison homeowners stay in their homes during a rewire. We work in sections, shutting off power only to the area we’re actively rewiring, so essential circuits such as refrigeration and HVAC can remain live. There will be some noise, dust, and occasional short power interruptions, but we use dust containment and daily clean-ups to keep living conditions comfortable.
What permits and inspections are required for a Harrison whole-home rewire?
The City of Harrison and Hamilton County require an electrical permit for any substantial wiring change. Our licensed electricians handle the permit application, schedule rough-in and final inspections with the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ), and ensure all work meets or exceeds the 2023 National Electrical Code and any local amendments. Inspection fees are included in our project quote.
How much does a full electrical rewire cost in the Harrison area?
Costs vary with home size, wiring complexity, and finish requirements, but most rewires in Harrison fall between $8 and $14 per square foot. For example, a 2,000-sq-ft home might range from $16,000 to $28,000. Our detailed proposal breaks down labor, materials, permits, and any optional upgrades such as whole-house surge protection or smart-home circuits.
Can I upgrade my service panel or add smart-home features during the rewire?
Absolutely. A rewire is the ideal time to replace an undersized 100-amp panel with a 200-amp service, install dedicated circuits for EV chargers or hot tubs, and pre-wire for smart lighting, security cameras, or home automation hubs. Doing this work during the rewire saves labor costs and future wall repairs, and ensures your electrical system is ready for upcoming technology.
