FAQs
Why should I consider a whole-home rewire for my Huntland property?
Homes wired 30–40 years ago were not designed for today’s power demands. A full rewire eliminates outdated aluminum or cloth-covered wiring, adds dedicated circuits for HVAC, appliances, and electronics, and brings your electrical system up to current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards. The result is greatly reduced fire risk, fewer tripped breakers, and the capacity to add smart-home, security, and renewable-energy upgrades in the future.
How can I tell if my Huntland home needs rewiring?
Warning signs include frequently blown fuses or tripped breakers, flickering lights, warm or discolored outlets, a burning smell near switches, or two-prong (ungrounded) receptacles. If your house was built before 1980 and has never been rewired, a professional inspection is strongly recommended. Our licensed electricians perform infrared scanning and circuit load tests to confirm the condition of your wiring and pinpoint hidden hazards.
What does a whole-home rewire involve, and how long will it take?
A rewire starts with a detailed load calculation and permit submission to Franklin County inspectors. We then disconnect power, remove obsolete wiring, install new copper NM-B or MC cable, upgrade the service panel, add GFCI/AFCI protection, and re-energize each circuit after inspection. A typical 1,500- to 2,000-sq-ft Huntland home takes 5–7 working days; larger or historical homes may take two weeks. We coordinate all inspections and drywall repairs to keep the timeline tight.
Will rewiring improve my home’s energy efficiency and lower utility bills?
Yes. New wiring reduces resistance losses, and modern panels allow for properly sized breakers and balanced loads, which lowers heat buildup and wasted energy. Rewiring also makes it safe to install high-efficiency HVAC equipment, LED lighting, EV chargers, and solar inverters—upgrades that can cut electric costs by 15–40 % and often qualify for federal tax credits.
Do I have to move out while the work is being done?
Not usually. We rewire one zone at a time so critical areas like kitchens and bathrooms regain power each evening. Dust barriers, floor protection, and daily clean-ups keep the home livable. If you work from home or have medical equipment that cannot lose power, we can set up temporary circuits or schedule a short hotel stay during panel change-over for maximum convenience.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost in Huntland, and are financing options available?
Costs vary with square footage, access, and the number of new outlets or fixtures. In Huntland, most complete rewires range from $8,000 to $18,000. We provide a fixed-price quote after a free onsite assessment. Zero-interest financing for 12 months or low-interest plans up to 60 months are available, and energy-efficiency rebates from TVA or federal tax credits may offset up to 30 % of the project cost.
