FAQs
Do I need a permit for a new wiring installation in Palmer, AK?
Yes. Any new residential or commercial wiring work in Palmer must be permitted through the State of Alaska’s Electrical Inspection Section and meet the current National Electrical Code (NEC). Our team takes care of all paperwork, pays the permit fees on your behalf, and schedules the mandatory rough-in and final inspections, so you stay fully compliant without the stress.
Are your electricians licensed, bonded, and insured?
Absolutely. Every technician on our crew holds a State of Alaska journeyman or master electrician license, carries up-to-date liability insurance, and is covered by workers’ compensation. We also maintain a municipal business license for Palmer and are bonded for code compliance. Copies of all certificates are available on request for your peace of mind.
How long does a typical whole-home rewiring project take?
Most single-family homes in Palmer (1,500–2,500 sq ft) take 5–10 working days from demolition to final inspection. Variables include the home’s age, accessibility of crawl spaces or attics in cold-weather construction, and whether you are living in the house during the work. We give you a detailed timeline up front and provide daily progress updates so you always know what comes next.
What factors affect the cost of a wiring installation?
Key cost drivers are: • Size of the structure and total circuit count • Choice of wiring method (copper vs. aluminum feeder, conduit vs. NM cable) • Panel capacity upgrades (e.g., 100 A to 200 A service) • Specialty circuits (EV chargers, heat-trace cables, hot tubs, backup generators) • Accessibility—finished walls or log construction generally add labor time • Permit fees and utility coordination. We give fixed-price quotes after a free site visit so you are never surprised by add-ons.
Can you replace old aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring in older Palmer homes?
Yes. We specialize in replacing legacy wiring systems with modern copper NM-B or MC cabling. We follow the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s recommendations for aluminum remediation, including Al-Cu pigtailing or full conductor replacement, and we carefully remove knob-and-tube without disturbing insulation. All updates meet current NEC and cold-climate energy codes, improving both safety and efficiency.
Do you offer warranties or maintenance plans after the installation?
All new wiring installations carry a 5-year workmanship warranty and the full manufacturer warranty on materials (usually 10 years or more for breakers and panels). We also offer an optional annual electrical safety check that includes thermal imaging of your panel, GFCI/AFCI testing, and surge protection verification—especially valuable in Palmer where freeze-thaw cycles can stress connections.
