FAQs
When should I consider a whole-home rewire for my Hixson property?
A full rewire is recommended if your house still has knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, if the panel is 60 amps or less, if you experience frequent breaker trips or flickering lights, or if the wiring is more than 40 years old and has never been updated. A professional inspection can confirm whether a complete rewire is the safest and most cost-effective solution.
How long does a whole-home rewire usually take?
For an average 1,800–2,500 sq ft home in Hixson, a licensed crew typically needs 5–10 business days, depending on the home’s size, accessibility of walls and attics, and whether walls require extensive repairs afterward. We provide a detailed project timeline after the initial walkthrough so you know what to expect.
Can I live in my house during the rewire?
Yes, many homeowners stay in the home, but you should be prepared for short daily power shutdowns, limited room access, wall cut-outs, and some dust and noise. We isolate work zones, maintain a temporary power circuit for essentials like refrigerators and Wi-Fi, and thoroughly clean each day to keep disruptions minimal.
What permits and inspections are required in Hixson, and who handles them?
Hamilton County and the City of Chattanooga require an electrical permit, followed by rough-in and final inspections. Our licensed electricians obtain all permits, coordinate inspection appointments, and remain onsite during inspections to address any questions, ensuring full National Electrical Code (NEC) and local code compliance.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost in the Hixson area?
Costs vary with square footage, number of circuits, accessibility, and whether drywall repair is included. In Hixson, most rewires range from $8,000 to $20,000. After an in-home assessment we provide a fixed-price quote that details labor, materials, permit fees, drywall patching, and a workmanship warranty.
What kind of warranty and after-service support do you offer?
All rewires carry a 5-year workmanship warranty and the manufacturer’s warranties on new panels, breakers, and devices. We perform a complimentary one-year checkup to tighten lugs, test outlets, and verify AFCI/GFCI protection. If you sell your home within the warranty period, coverage transfers to the new owner for added peace of mind.
