FAQs
What are the main reasons a Huntland home would need a full electrical rewire?
Most Huntland houses that are 30-plus years old were wired before todays power demands and safety codes existed. Common warning signs include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights, warm outlets or switch plates, two-prong receptacles with no ground, aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s–70s, or cloth/Romex cable with brittle insulation. A full rewire replaces every branch circuit, brings the system up to the current National Electrical Code (NEC 2023) and Franklin County inspection requirements, and eliminates hidden fire hazards.
How long does a whole-home rewire typically take, and will I need to move out during the project?
A typical 1,500–2,000 sq ft Huntland residence takes 5-10 working days, depending on wall accessibility, attic/crawl-space conditions, and whether drywall repair is included. We coordinate the job in stages so critical rooms (kitchen, bathrooms, one bedroom) regain power at the end of each workday. Most clients stay in the home with minimal disruption, although you can arrange temporary lodging if preferred. We provide daily cleanup, dust containment, and clear communication so you always know which areas are affected.
What is included in your quality craftsmanship rewire service?
Our turnkey package covers: (1) upfront load calculations and circuit design; (2) permitting with the Franklin County Building & Codes Department; (3) removal of obsolete wiring and devices; (4) installation of new copper conductors, grounded receptacles, AFCI/GFCI protection, tamper-resistant outlets, and smart-ready switch boxes; (5) panel upgrade or replacement if required; (6) whole-home surge protection; (7) labeling and documentation of every circuit; and (8) final drywall/paint touch-ups if requested. All work is performed by licensed, insured electricians and backed by a transferable 5-year workmanship warranty.
Do I need permits or inspections in Huntland for a complete rewire?
Yes. Franklin County enforces the NEC, and any substantial electrical work—including whole-house rewiring—requires a permit and at least two inspections (rough-in and final). We handle the paperwork, schedule inspections, and remain on-site to answer the county inspectors questions. Pulling a permit protects you by ensuring the job meets code, maintains your homeowners-insurance coverage, and avoids complications when you sell the property.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost, and what factors influence the price?
In Huntland, a standard 3-bedroom, 2-bath home averages $8–$12 per square foot, or roughly $12,000–$20,000. The final price depends on square footage, number of circuits, accessibility (finished basement vs. open crawl space), panel upgrade needs, fixture/outlet count, and any add-ons like recessed lighting or EV charger wiring. We provide a detailed, fixed-price quote after an on-site assessment, so you know exactly what youre paying before work begins.
Will a modern rewire increase my homes safety and resale value?
Absolutely. A rewire removes outdated wiring prone to overheating, adds proper grounding, and incorporates AFCI/GFCI protection that can reduce electrical-fire risk by up to 80 %. Real-estate agents in Huntland report that updated electrical systems rank among the top selling points for buyers, often translating into a higher appraisal and faster sale. Insurance carriers may even lower premiums on homes with new wiring and surge protection. Above all, peace of mind for you and your family is priceless.
