FAQs
Why might I need a whole-home rewire in Loudon?
Older Loudon houses—especially those built before the mid-1970s—may contain outdated knob-and-tube or aluminum branch-circuit wiring that cannot safely handle today’s electrical loads. Frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, warm switches, or the absence of grounded (three-prong) outlets are common warning signs. A complete rewire eliminates these hazards, brings the system up to the latest National Electrical Code (NEC 2023, adopted by Tennessee), and increases capacity for modern appliances, EV chargers, and smart-home technology.
How long does a whole-home rewire usually take?
Project length depends on the size and layout of your Loudon home, the accessibility of walls and attic spaces, and whether walls are being opened or fishing techniques can be used. As a rule of thumb, a 1,500–2,000 sq ft occupied residence takes 5–10 working days. Larger or more complex homes may require two to three weeks, especially if drywall repair and painting are included.
Do I have to move out while the work is done?
Not necessarily. We typically rewire one circuit at a time, so temporary power remains available for lighting, HVAC, and essential outlets. You may experience short outages in specific rooms while crews are working there, and we recommend unplugging sensitive electronics. If you work from home, we can schedule high-impact tasks around your needs. Full vacancy is only suggested when significant plaster or drywall demolition is planned.
What does a whole-home rewire cost in the Loudon area?
Costs vary with square footage, number of circuits, accessibility, and the finish work required. In Loudon County, most three-bedroom homes fall between $8 and $14 per square foot, or roughly $12,000 – $28,000. This price includes new copper wiring, grounded receptacles, arc-fault/ground-fault protection, service-panel upgrades as needed, permits, and rough patching of wall openings. We provide a detailed, fixed-price proposal after a complimentary on-site assessment.
Are permits and inspections required for a rewire in Loudon?
Yes. Tennessee state law and Loudon County Building Codes mandate electrical permits for any major rewiring project. Our licensed electricians secure the permit, coordinate rough-in and final inspections with the county inspector, and supply you with the approval documents. Passing inspection is essential for future real-estate transactions and for keeping your homeowner’s insurance valid.
What kind of warranty or guarantee do you offer?
We stand behind every whole-house rewire with a 5-year workmanship warranty covering labor, terminations, and device installation. All new materials carry the manufacturer’s warranty (typically 10 years or more on breakers and panels). Should you sell your home within the warranty period, the warranty transfers to the new owner, providing added resale value and peace of mind.
