FAQs
Why would a Huntland homeowner need a whole-home rewire instead of a few repairs?
If your house still contains pre-1960 knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuits from the 1960-70s, or a patchwork of DIY additions, a complete rewire is usually safer and more cost-effective than piecemeal repairs. A full rewire eliminates hidden fire hazards, brings every circuit up to the current 2020 National Electrical Code adopted in Tennessee, and provides the capacity required for modern HVAC systems, EV chargers, and smart-home devices.
How much does a whole-house rewire cost in Huntland, TN?
Costs vary with square footage, accessibility, and desired upgrades, but most Huntland projects fall between $7 and $12 per square foot. A 2,000-sq-ft home typically ranges from $14,000 to $24,000, including new wiring, breaker panel, devices, AFCI/GFCI protection, and final inspection fees. We provide a fixed, line-item quote after a free on-site assessment so there are no surprises.
Will I need permits and inspections for a rewire?
Yes. Franklin County Building Codes Department requires an electrical permit for any whole-home rewire. As a licensed TN electrical contractor, we pull all permits, schedule interim rough-in and final inspections, and provide the signed approval certificate for your records—ensuring your new wiring is fully code-compliant and ready for homeowners-insurance underwriting.
Can we stay in the house while the rewire is being done?
In most cases, yes. We rewire room by room, restoring temporary power each evening so you still have lights, HVAC, and major appliances. For extensive plaster or lathe demolition, we may recommend a brief hotel stay—typically one or two nights—while the service is disconnected and the new panel is energized.
How long does a whole-home rewire take?
A 1,500- to 2,500-sq-ft Huntland home generally takes 5–10 working days from start to final inspection. Factors that extend timelines include plaster walls, limited attic/crawl access, or customer-requested extras such as whole-house surge protection or generator interlocks. We provide a written schedule and update you daily on progress.
Does a complete rewire add resale value to my Huntland property?
Absolutely. Buyers and home inspectors view updated wiring and a modern 200-amp panel as major selling points. National Association of Realtors research shows electrical upgrades can return 80–100% of their cost at resale. More importantly, a documented rewire lowers insurance premiums and gives you peace of mind that your family is protected from outdated electrical hazards.
