FAQs
Why might my Lake City home need a complete electrical rewire?
Homes built before the 1980s often contain outdated aluminum or cloth-wrapped wiring, ungrounded outlets, and undersized breaker panels that are not designed for today’s power demands. A whole-home rewire eliminates hidden fire hazards, removes deteriorated conductors, and upgrades the service capacity so you can safely run modern appliances, HVAC equipment, smart-home devices, and EV chargers without tripping breakers or overheating circuits.
What safety codes and standards do you follow during a rewire?
We design every project to meet or exceed the 2023 edition of the National Electrical Code (NEC), Washington State amendments, and Lake City municipal inspection requirements. All branch circuits are protected by AFCI or dual-function AFCI/GFCI breakers, kitchens and bathrooms receive GFCI protection, and smoke/CO detectors are hard-wired and interconnected. Copper conductors, tamper-resistant receptacles, proper conduit or NM cabling, and whole-house surge protection are standard on every job.
How long does a whole-house rewire take, and do I have to move out?
Most single-family homes in Lake City can be rewired in 5–10 working days. We schedule the work in phases—rough-in, service upgrade, and final trim—so critical circuits (refrigerator, heat, internet) stay energized whenever possible. You can usually remain in the home; however, if walls are being opened extensively, we may recommend relocating for 2–3 days during drywall and painting to avoid dust and noise.
Will a rewire increase the value and energy efficiency of my property?
Yes. A documented rewire instantly reduces insurance risk, lowers premiums, and is a strong selling point for buyers wary of knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. While rewiring itself does not reduce your utility bill, it enables high-efficiency LED lighting, ENERGY STAR appliances, heat pumps, and solar or battery systems that do. The net result is a safer, more energy-smart, and higher-valued home.
How much does a complete rewire cost in Lake City, and what affects the price?
Costs typically range from $10 to $18 per square foot. Variables include the home’s size, number of circuits, accessibility of crawlspaces and attics, wall finish type (plaster vs. drywall), service-panel upgrade needs, and any specialty additions such as EV chargers, whole-house surge protectors, or generator transfer switches. We provide a fixed-price proposal after a free on-site assessment, so there are no surprises.
What steps do you take to minimize disruption and keep my home clean?
We use precise wall-fish techniques, protective floor coverings, HEPA vacuum attachments on all saws, and daily site clean-ups. Furniture is draped, and plastic zip-wall barriers isolate work areas. At the end of the project we patch, texture, and prime all wall openings, leaving only minor paint-touch-ups for you or your painter. A final electrical inspection and customer walkthrough ensure every outlet tests correctly and the job site is spotless.
