FAQs
How can I tell if my Huntland home needs a complete electrical rewire?
Several warning signs indicate it’s time to consider a full rewire: consistently tripping breakers or blowing fuses, outlets that feel warm or look scorched, flickering lights, aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s–70s, or a panel rated under 100 amps. In Huntland specifically, many homes were built before modern NEC (National Electrical Code) standards and may lack grounded circuits or GFCI/AFCI protection. If your home is more than 40 years old and has never been updated, scheduling an inspection is strongly recommended.
What is the typical timeline for a whole-home rewire in Huntland?
Most single-family homes in the Huntland area can be rewired in 5 – 10 business days once permits are issued. The exact duration depends on square footage, attic/crawl-space accessibility, and whether walls and ceilings are open or finished. We create a detailed project calendar that includes rough-in, inspection, and final trim-out so you know when power will be interrupted and when each room will be complete.
Do I have to move out while the rewiring is done?
Not usually. We rewire homes in stages, shutting off power only to the circuits being replaced that day. Essential utilities such as refrigeration and internet can often remain energized. If you work from home, we’ll coordinate to keep your office online. Some clients choose to stay elsewhere for comfort, but we design the work plan so you’re never without critical power overnight.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost in Huntland?
Costs vary with home size, number of circuits, and finish level. In Huntland, recent projects have ranged from $7–$10 per square foot. A 2,000-sq-ft house might therefore run $14,000–$20,000, including new receptacles, switches, and a service-panel upgrade if needed. After a free on-site assessment we provide a fixed-price proposal that lists every device, permit fee, and inspection cost so there are no surprises.
Will rewiring damage my walls and ceilings?
We use fishing techniques and existing chases whenever possible to minimize drywall cuts. Inevitably some access holes are needed around outlets and switch boxes; we patch and texture those areas to match your existing finish. If you’re planning other renovations or repainting, rewiring is often scheduled first so repairs blend seamlessly.
Are permits, inspections, and code compliance included?
Yes. Franklin County requires electrical permits for any rewire, and the work must be inspected to the 2023 NEC. Our team handles all paperwork, coordinates with the Huntland building department, and is on-site for each inspection. You’ll receive a copy of the passed inspection report and a workmanship warranty once the job is complete.
