FAQs
Why would my Lake City home need a whole-home rewire?
Homes built before the mid-1980s often contain aluminum branch circuits, undersized service panels, or insulation-degraded wiring that no longer meets current National Electrical Code (NEC) standards. Rewiring eliminates chronic tripped breakers, flickering lights, and fire hazards while providing the capacity today’s high-demand devices require. A whole-home rewire also brings your property up to Lake City municipal code, which is essential for insurance coverage and resale.
What is included in the whole-home rewiring process and how long will it take?
After an in-home assessment, we create a custom wiring plan, pull all necessary permits, and schedule the work in phases: (1) rough-in—removing old conductors, drilling new pathways, and installing new NM-B or THHN copper wiring; (2) service upgrade—installing a modern main panel, breakers, and grounding system; (3) device installation—new receptacles, switches, GFCIs/AFCIs, and dedicated circuits for HVAC or EV chargers; and (4) final trim-out and inspection. For a 1,800–2,400 sq ft Lake City residence, the project typically spans 5–10 working days, with power restored at the end of each day whenever feasible.
Will I have to move out while the rewiring is done?
Not usually. We rewire one area at a time and can provide temporary power to critical appliances, making it possible for most families to stay home. If your panel or meter base must be relocated, we schedule that outage during daylight hours and communicate clear timelines so you can plan ahead. For extensive plaster or historical restorations, a short relocation (1–2 days) may be recommended, but this is discussed during the initial consultation.
How does a whole-home rewire affect property value and energy efficiency?
Real-estate data show that homes with modern 200-amp copper wiring and ample grounded outlets sell 8–15 % faster and for a premium in the Lake City market. A rewire also allows LED lighting, high-efficiency HVAC, solar interconnection, and smart-home controls to operate safely and at peak efficiency. Eliminating resistive heat loss in deteriorated conductors can trim 2–4 % off your annual electric bill.
What does a whole-home rewire cost in Lake City and what factors influence the price?
Typical costs range from $7–$11 per square foot, or $12,000–$22,000 for an average Lake City home. Pricing varies based on square footage, number of finished floors, accessibility of crawl spaces and attics, panel size upgrade requirements, fixture count, and any specialty circuits (EV charger, generator interlock, hot tub). After a free on-site evaluation we provide a fixed-price proposal with a transparent line-item breakdown and financing options.
Are permits and inspections required, and do you handle them?
Yes. Lake City and Columbia County require an electrical permit and at least two inspections: rough-in and final. Personalized Solutions Electrical handles all permit applications, coordinates with the city’s Building & Zoning Department, and schedules inspections. You receive documentation showing the work passed municipal and NEC standards—vital for insurance and resale purposes—and we back it with a 5-year workmanship warranty.
