FAQs
What does a “whole-home rewire” actually involve?
A whole-home rewire means that every branch circuit in the house is removed and replaced with new copper conductors, modern breaker panels, tamper-resistant receptacles, GFCI/AFCI protection where required, and properly sized grounding and bonding. We open walls and ceilings as needed, pull out the old knob-and-tube, aluminum, or brittle cloth-covered wiring, install new cable in EMT or NM-B conduit, label every circuit in a new load center, and test the entire system for continuity, polarity, and fault current before final inspection.
How do I know my Norris home needs to be completely rewired?
Common indicators include frequent breaker trips or blown fuses, outlets that feel warm, lights that dim when appliances start, two-prong receptacles with no ground, aluminum branch circuits installed in the 1960s-70s, or original wiring older than 40-50 years. A professional inspection with load tests and infrared scanning can confirm whether the existing conductors’ insulation or connections have deteriorated to the point that replacement is safer and more economical than continual repairs.
How long will a full rewire take and will I have to move out?
For an average 1,800–2,200 sq ft single-family home in Norris, a rewire typically takes 5–10 working days. We normally stage the project in two phases—rough-in and trim-out—so only selected rooms are offline at any given time. In most cases you can remain in the home, but if the service must be disconnected for more than one day or you work from home and need uninterrupted power, we can arrange temporary power drops or schedule work while you are away.
What permits and inspections are required in Norris, and do you handle them?
The City of Norris follows the latest edition of the NEC with localized amendments. A building permit and electrical permit are mandatory for full rewires, and at least two inspections—rough-in (before walls are closed) and final—are required. Our licensed master electricians pull all permits, coordinate with the Norris Building & Codes Department, meet the inspector on site, and supply as-built drawings when the job is complete, so you never have to navigate municipal paperwork.
How much does a whole-house rewire cost and what factors affect the price?
In Norris, complete rewires generally range from $8 to $14 per square foot. Costs rise with: (1) the number of finished stories (harder access); (2) plaster or stone walls versus drywall; (3) the need for a service-panel upgrade to 200 A; (4) smart-home wiring (Ethernet, audio, security) requested at the same time; and (5) extensive patching/painting after walls are opened. We provide a fixed-price proposal after a no-charge on-site assessment so you know the total before we begin.
Can I combine a rewire with other electrical upgrades?
Absolutely. Many Norris homeowners pair a rewire with service-panel upsizing, EV-charger circuits, whole-home surge protection, generator interlock kits, and low-voltage cabling for Wi-Fi access points. Bundling these upgrades during the rewire is more cost-effective because the walls are already open and the permit covers additional circuits, saving time and multiple inspection fees.
