FAQs
Why might a Loudon home need a full electrical rewire instead of partial repairs?
Homes in Loudon that are 30-plus years old often have outdated wiring (cloth-wrapped, aluminum, or ungrounded knob-and-tube) that was never designed to handle today’s high electrical loads. A comprehensive rewire removes safety hazards such as overheated conductors and inadequate grounding, brings the entire system up to the current National Electrical Code (NEC) and Loudon County amendments, and ensures every outlet, switch, and fixture is on circuits sized for modern appliances and electronics.
How long does a whole-house rewire typically take in Loudon, and can I stay in my home during the work?
A typical 1,800–2,500 sq ft single-family home takes 5–10 working days for rough-in plus 1–2 days for trim-out and inspection. Larger or more complex homes can take up to three weeks. Most clients can stay in the home, as we create temporary power zones and schedule shutdowns room-by-room. If your panel must be fully de-energized for more than one day, we will arrange a generator or recommend brief relocation.
What permits or inspections are required for an electrical rewire in Loudon?
Loudon Building & Codes Enforcement requires an electrical permit before any concealed wiring is altered. Our license number is included on the permit application, and we coordinate both rough-in and final inspections. We also schedule utility disconnect/reconnect with Loudon Utilities Board when a service upgrade is part of the project. All fees and paperwork are handled by our office, and you’ll receive the signed inspection card on completion.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost in Loudon, and what factors affect the price?
Costs generally range from $4 to $7 per square foot. Price drivers include: (1) Square footage and number of circuits, (2) Wall/ceiling accessibility (plaster vs. drywall), (3) Service size upgrade (e.g., 100 A to 200 A), (4) Required AFCI/GFCI protection, (5) Smart-home, EV charger, or generator provisions, and (6) Restoration scope (patching vs. full repaint). We provide a fixed-price written proposal after a free on-site assessment.
What kind of disruptions, cleanup, and restoration should I expect?
Our crews cut neat, minimal access holes, usually 4"×4", to fish new cables. We cover furniture, use HEPA vacuums, and remove debris daily. After wiring is inspected, we patch drywall, mud, and prime. If desired, we can coordinate full painting, though many homeowners handle final paint themselves to control costs. Floors, trim, and landscaping are protected throughout the process.
What warranties and future proofing come with your Loudon whole-house rewires?
We include a transferable 5-year workmanship warranty plus all manufacturer warranties on breakers, devices, and copper cable. The new wiring is rated to 600 V, includes full equipment grounding, AFCI/GFCI protection where required, and spare capacity in the panel for future circuits. Every rewire comes with a circuit directory, as-built drawings, and a one-year complimentary safety check, ensuring your home remains code-compliant as standards evolve.
