FAQs
What exactly is meant by a “whole-home rewire” for Johnson City residences?
A whole-home rewire replaces every branch circuit in the house—from the main service panel to the last receptacle, switch, fixture, and hard-wired appliance. We remove outdated knob-and-tube, aluminum, or cloth-insulated wiring and install new copper conductors, modern grounding, AFCI/GFCI protection, tamper-resistant outlets, and properly sized breakers in accordance with the latest National Electrical Code (NEC 2020 as adopted by Tennessee). The project also brings all devices to today’s layout and height standards, ensuring safe, reliable power for decades.
How long does a typical rewire take and will I need to move out?
Most single-family homes in Johnson City take 5–10 working days, depending on square footage, wall construction, attic/crawl accessibility, and any service-panel upgrade. We plan work in phases so essential circuits such as HVAC and refrigeration remain powered overnight. In 80 % of projects homeowners stay in the house; for larger jobs or extensive plaster repair, a short relocation (2–3 nights) may be more convenient. We discuss scheduling in advance so you can plan accordingly.
What does a whole-home rewire cost in the Tri-Cities area?
For a typical 1,500–2,000 sq ft Johnson City home, turnkey rewiring (labor, materials, permits, patching) starts around $8–$10 per square foot. Variables include service-panel size, number of dedicated appliance circuits, smart-home features, and wall finish restoration. After a free on-site assessment we provide a fixed-price proposal with a detailed scope so there are no surprises. Financing options and phased work plans are available to fit most budgets.
Will my walls be destroyed during the process?
We specialize in minimally invasive techniques using stud-finder imaging, fish tapes, and flex bits to run new cables through existing cavities. Strategic 4- to 6-inch access holes are cut above switches and receptacles, which we patch and rough-sand before we leave. Full paint or texture blending is optional, but many customers find our light patching saves hundreds in post-job repairs compared to traditional tear-out methods.
What inspections and permits are required in Johnson City, and do you handle them?
Yes. Johnson City Building Services requires an electrical permit and rough-in/final inspections for any whole-home rewire. As a licensed and insured Tennessee Electrical Contractor (License #xxxxxx), we pull permits, coordinate with the city inspector, and provide any load calculations or panel schedules they request. All work is bonded and carries a one-year workmanship warranty plus manufacturer warranties on devices and breakers.
