FAQs
Why would a Huntsville homeowner need a whole-home rewire?
Older houses in Huntsville—especially those built before the mid-1970s—often contain outdated aluminum branch circuits, cloth-insulated wiring, or fuse panels that can no longer support modern electrical loads. A full rewire replaces every circuit with new copper conductors, upgraded grounding, AFCI/GFCI protection, and a larger service panel, eliminating chronic tripping, flickering lights, and fire hazards while preparing the home for today’s high-demand appliances, EV chargers, and smart-home devices.
What signs indicate it’s time to call your team for a rewire?
Common red flags include: (1) frequently tripped breakers or blown fuses; (2) warm or discolored outlets and switches; (3) buzzing sounds behind walls; (4) two-prong, ungrounded receptacles; (5) persistent light flicker; (6) a burning odor from outlets; (7) aluminum wiring stamped “AL” on the cable jacket; and (8) an electrical panel that’s 40+ years old. Huntsville’s humid climate can accelerate insulation breakdown, so if you notice any of these issues, schedule an assessment right away.
How long does a whole-home rewire typically take in Huntsville, and will I need to vacate?
For an average 2,000-sq-ft house, our licensed team can complete a rewire in 5–10 working days. We plan the project in phases—rough-in, inspection, and trim-out—so power is only shut off in targeted areas at a time. Most clients remain in the home, though we recommend alternative lodging for households with small children, remote workers, or medical equipment that must stay powered. We always provide temporary circuits and daily clean-ups to keep your living areas as functional as possible.
How much does a complete rewire cost in the Huntsville area?
Costs vary with home size, accessibility (crawl-space vs. slab), and the number of circuits and devices. In 2024, a full rewire in Huntsville typically ranges from $8 to $12 per square foot—about $16,000–$24,000 for a 2,000-sq-ft residence— including a 200-amp service upgrade, new receptacles, switches, and code-required AFCI/GFCI breakers. After an on-site evaluation, we provide a fixed-price proposal and outline potential incentives, such as TVA energy-efficiency rebates or Huntsville Utilities surge-protection credits.
What permits and inspections are required?
Madison County and the City of Huntsville mandate electrical permits for any re-wire. Our master electrician pulls the permit, submits load calculations, and schedules rough-in and final inspections with the Huntsville Inspection Department. We meet the inspector on-site to verify conductor sizing, box fill, neutral isolation, and bonding. You receive all final paperwork and a Certificate of Completion for your records, which can reduce homeowners-insurance premiums.
Is a whole-home rewire a good time to add smart-home or future-ready upgrades?
Absolutely. While walls are open, labor costs to add extras are minimal. Homeowners often bundle Cat-6 data runs, in-ceiling speakers, EV-charger conduits, whole-house surge protection, and dedicated circuits for future solar inverters. We design a scalable infrastructure so you can integrate smart thermostats or battery storage later without another major renovation.
