FAQs
What exactly is a whole-home rewire and what does it include?
A whole-home rewire is the complete removal of outdated or unsafe electrical wiring and the installation of new code-compliant wiring, receptacles, switches, fixtures, and grounding throughout every room. In New Tazewell, this also involves upgrading the service panel (if needed), labeling circuits, adding AFCI/GFCI protection, installing smoke/CO detector wiring, and ensuring the new system meets current NEC and local East Tennessee code requirements.
How do I know if my New Tazewell home really needs to be rewired?
Common indicators include frequently tripped breakers, blown fuses, flickering lights, warm or discolored outlets, two-prong receptacles, aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, and a lack of grounded circuits. Homes built before the mid-1970s often lack the capacity to support today’s appliance loads and may not have proper grounding. A licensed electrician can perform an inspection and load calculation to confirm whether a full rewire is the safest long-term solution.
How long does a whole-house rewire typically take?
For an average 1,600–2,000 sq ft single-story home in New Tazewell, a rewire usually takes 5–7 working days while the power is off only in sections we’re actively working on. Larger or multistory homes, plaster walls, or extensive panel upgrades can extend the project to two or three weeks. We provide a detailed timeline after the walkthrough so you know exactly what to expect.
Do I have to move out during the rewire?
Most clients stay in their homes. We rewire one circuit or area at a time, so only the zone we’re working on is de-energized. Sensitive electronics are unplugged or protected, and we coordinate daily cleanup to keep living spaces safe. If you work from home or have medical equipment, we can arrange temporary power solutions or schedule work hours around your needs.
Who handles permits and inspections in New Tazewell?
We take care of the entire permitting process with Claiborne County and the State of Tennessee. After rough-in wiring is completed, we schedule the electrical inspector’s visit, address any notes, and obtain final approval before closing up walls and energizing the new circuits. Your rewire will be documented, ensuring compliance and smoother resale or insurance processes in the future.
What does a whole-home rewire cost and is there a warranty?
Costs vary with size, layout, access, and desired upgrades, but most New Tazewell rewires range from $8–$12 per square foot, including materials, permits, and panel changes. We offer transparent, itemized quotes and financing options. All workmanship is backed by a 5-year labor warranty and the materials carry the manufacturer’s warranty, giving you peace of mind for years to come.
