FAQs
Why might my Lynchburg home need a complete rewire?
Homes built before the mid-1970s often contain outdated aluminum or cloth-covered wiring, limited circuits, and ungrounded outlets. These systems struggle with today’s appliance loads and pose higher fire and shock risks. A full rewire replaces all branch circuits, brings the service panel up to current NEC and City of Lynchburg codes, adds grounded receptacles, and restores peace of mind that your electrical system is safe and future-ready.
How long does a typical whole-house rewire take?
Most single-family homes in the Lynchburg area are completed in 5–10 working days. Smaller ranch homes can be finished within a week, while large two-story or historic properties may take two to three weeks. Our crew works room-by-room, coordinating with drywall repair and painting to keep downtime and disruption to a minimum.
Do I have to move out while the rewire is happening?
In most cases you can stay in the home. We stage the project so that essential circuits—HVAC, refrigerator, lighting in key areas—remain energized each evening. For extensive plaster removal or if a medical device requires continuous power, temporary relocation may be recommended. We review your specific situation during the pre-construction walk-through.
What does a whole-home rewire in Lynchburg typically cost?
Pricing depends on square footage, number of circuits, accessibility of walls and attic spaces, and service-panel upgrades. As a guideline, a 1,500-sq-ft home runs $8,000–$12,000, while larger or historic homes can range $15,000–$25,000. After a no-charge site assessment, we give you a fixed, itemized quote so there are no surprises.
Will you handle permits and inspections?
Yes. We pull all required permits with the City of Lynchburg Inspections Division, coordinate rough-in and final inspections, and provide you with a Certificate of Approval for your records. All work meets or exceeds the latest National Electrical Code and local amendments, ensuring your insurance and future resale value are protected.
What makes your team the right choice for a rewire project?
Our licensed master electricians specialize in occupied-home rewires. We use dust-containment barriers, HEPA vacuums, and minimally invasive fishing techniques to preserve plaster and hardwood. Every craftsman is background-checked, OSHA-10 certified, and trained in historic-structure best practices. We stand behind our work with a transferable lifetime workmanship warranty and a full-service follow-up visit one year after completion.
