FAQs
What exactly is a whole-home rewire and why might my Norris residence need one?
A whole-home rewire involves removing outdated or unsafe wiring and installing new, code-compliant conductors, breaker panels, outlets, and grounding throughout the house. Homes in Norris built before the mid-1980s often contain aluminum branch circuits, knob-and-tube wiring, or cloth-insulated copper that degrades over time. Rewiring eliminates fire hazards, reduces breaker trips, supports today’s higher electrical loads, and provides the grounding necessary for modern electronics and surge protection.
How can I tell if my electrical system is due for a rewire?
Warning signs include frequently tripped breakers or blown fuses, warm or discolored outlets, flickering lights, a persistent burning smell, and a lack of grounded (three-prong) receptacles. If your home is 40+ years old and has never been updated, an electrical safety inspection is strongly recommended. Our Norris-based electricians perform infrared scanning, load calculations, and wiring assessments to confirm whether a partial or full rewire is needed.
Will a new, efficient electrical system lower my energy bills?
Yes. While most savings come from upgrading to energy-efficient appliances and lighting, a rewire complements those upgrades by reducing resistive losses, ensuring proper circuit sizing, and eliminating voltage drop. We also install AFCI/GFCI breakers, LED-ready circuits, and smart panels that monitor usage and allow load shedding or time-of-use automation, resulting in 5–15 % annual energy savings for many Norris homeowners.
How long does a whole-house rewire take, and do I have to move out?
Duration depends on size and accessibility. A 2,000-sq-ft Norris home typically requires 5–10 working days. We stage the project room-by-room, so you can often stay in the home, although short power shut-offs are necessary. For extensive plaster or historical finishes, additional time may be needed for careful wall repairs. We provide a detailed timeline up front and coordinate with you to minimize disruptions.
What permits and inspections are required in Norris, and do you handle them?
The City of Norris requires an electrical permit for any rewire, along with rough-in and final inspections by the local building authority. Our licensed master electricians secure all permits, schedule inspections, meet with the inspector on-site, and supply you with a final Certificate of Completion for your records and homeowner’s insurance.
Can you future-proof my home during the rewire (EV chargers, solar, smart devices) and what does it cost?
Absolutely. We can install a 200-amp service upgrade, dedicated EV charger circuits, solar-ready combiner panels, whole-house surge protection, and Cat-6/HDMI low-voltage conduits at the same time. Adding these options during a rewire costs 20–30 % less than retrofitting later because the walls are already open. We provide itemized pricing so you can select only the features that match your budget and long-term plans.
