FAQs
Why should I consider a whole-home rewire instead of partial upgrades?
A complete rewire replaces every outdated conductor, device, and panel in your house, eliminating hidden fire hazards such as brittle insulation, knob-and-tube, or aluminum branch-circuits. It also brings the entire system up to today’s National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, adds the capacity needed for modern high-demand appliances and EV chargers, and dramatically improves overall safety and energy efficiency. Partial upgrades leave older, unsafe wiring in place and often cost more in the long run because each additional renovation requires another round of electrical work.
How can I tell if my Pioneer home needs a rewire?
Common warning signs include: • Frequent breaker trips or blown fuses • Discolored or warm outlets and switches • Two-prong (ungrounded) receptacles • Knob-and-tube or cloth-insulated wiring visible in the attic or crawl space • Aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s-70s • Flickering lights when appliances start • Lack of GFCI and AFCI protection • A 60-amp or 100-amp service panel with limited breaker spaces. If your house is over 40 years old and still has its original wiring, schedule an electrical safety inspection to determine whether a rewire is the best solution.
What exactly happens during a whole-home rewire and how long does it take?
1. Assessment & Design – Our licensed electricians perform a load calculation, create a wiring plan, and pull necessary permits. 2. Rough-In – We shut off power, remove old wiring, drill access holes, run new NM or MC cable, and install a new service panel and grounding system. 3. Device & Fixture Installation – New switches, tamper-resistant receptacles, LED fixtures, and smart-home controls are fitted. 4. Inspection – The local Pioneer building department inspects rough-in and final work. 5. Cleanup & Restoration – We patch drywall, repaint disturbed areas, and tidy the worksite. An average 2,000-sq-ft home typically takes 5–10 working days. Large, multi-story, or plaster-wall homes can extend to 2–3 weeks.
Will a rewire destroy my walls and finishes?
We use minimally invasive methods: fishing new cable through existing cavities, cutting small access slots rather than full strips, and working from attics, basements, and crawl spaces whenever possible. Drywall repairs and texture matching are included. In most cases, you will only see small, neatly patched areas that disappear after painting. Hardwood floors, cabinetry, and trim are protected with drop cloths and dust barriers throughout the project.
What codes and safety standards do you follow in Pioneer?
All work is carried out to the latest edition of the NEC, as adopted by the State of Washington, and any amendments required by the City of Pioneer’s building department. We also install arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs), ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs), surge protection, and proper service grounding to exceed minimum code where practical. Permits and inspections are obtained for every rewire, ensuring third-party verification of safety and compliance.
How much does a full home rewire cost and what factors affect the price?
Costs in Pioneer typically range from $8,000 to $20,000 for an average-sized home. Key factors include house square footage and number of stories, accessibility of crawl spaces or attics, wall construction (drywall vs. plaster), amperage upgrade requirements (e.g., 100 A to 200 A), the quantity of new outlets/fixtures, and any smart-home or generator provisions you choose.
