FAQs
Why would my Harrison home need a whole-house rewire?
Most Harrison houses built before the mid-1980s were wired with materials and methods that are no longer considered safe or adequate for today’s power demands. Signs you may need a rewire include blown fuses, frequently tripped breakers, warm outlets, flickering lights, aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, and a lack of grounded (three-prong) receptacles. A full rewire replaces outdated conductors, devices, and panels with modern copper wiring that meets the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) and Harrison building-department amendments, greatly reducing fire risk and ensuring your electrical system can safely power modern appliances, HVAC equipment, and electronics.
How long does a complete rewire usually take and will I have to move out?
For an average 2,000-sq-ft Harrison home, our team can generally finish the rough-in and trim-out phases in 5–10 working days. Larger homes or projects that include service upgrades, smart-home automation, or new lighting layouts can take two to three weeks. We schedule work in zones so you aren’t without power everywhere at once; most clients stay in the home throughout the project. If a full service disconnect is required, we coordinate a short outage—usually less than one business day—and provide temporary power for critical circuits when needed.
What is included in your top-tier whole-home rewiring service?
Our premium package is a turnkey solution that covers: • Electrical load calculation and engineered plan set • Removal of obsolete wiring, junctions, and devices • Installation of new copper NM or MC cable, AFCI/GFCI protection, and a 200-amp service panel (or higher if required) • New tamper-resistant, grounded receptacles every 12 ft as per NEC 210.52, plus dedicated circuits for kitchen, laundry, and HVAC • LED lighting retrofit or new layout with IC-rated recessed cans and smart dimmers • Surge protection for the whole house and optional EV-charger circuit • Low-voltage cabling (Cat-6, coax, security) rough-in • All Harrison permit fees, inspections, and a written lifetime workmanship warranty.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost in Harrison and what factors influence price?
Costs typically run $6–$9 per finished square foot in Harrison, so a 2,000-sq-ft home might range from $12,000 to $18,000. Variables include: • Square footage and number of stories (two-story homes take more labor) • Accessibility (open framing vs. plaster/lathe or finished drywall) • Service size upgrade (100-amp to 200-amp vs. 400-amp) • Added options such as smart switches, LED fixtures, EV charger, or generator interlock kit • Historical or masonry construction that requires surface raceways. We provide a fixed-price proposal after an on-site assessment so there are no surprises.
Will rewiring my house increase its resale value and meet current electrical codes?
Yes. A documented whole-home rewire is one of the highest-ROI electrical upgrades because it eliminates safety red flags that inspectors and insurance underwriters watch for. Your new system will comply with the 2023 NEC, local Harrison amendments, and Energy Code lighting requirements. Buyers gain peace of mind, lenders remove wiring-condition contingencies, and many insurers offer lower premiums once outdated wiring is replaced.
Are permits and inspections required in Harrison, and do you handle them?
The Town of Harrison requires an electrical permit for any rewire that replaces more than 50% of existing branch circuits, along with rough-in and final inspections by the Harrison Building Department. As a licensed Master Electrician (#HRE-2145), we file the permit, supply all load calculations and panel schedules, coordinate utility disconnect/reconnect, and attend every inspection. You receive a Certificate of Approval at project completion, which is essential for future home sales and insurance documentation.
