FAQs
Why might a Shelbyville home need a complete electrical rewire?
Older Shelbyville houses often still contain knob-and-tube or aluminum branch wiring, circuits without proper grounding, or panels that can no longer support today’s appliance loads. These conditions raise the risk of shocks, breaker trips, or even electrical fires. A whole-house rewire replaces every branch circuit with modern copper conductors, adds grounded receptacles, increases circuit capacity for HVAC, kitchen, and EV chargers, and brings the entire system up to the current National Electrical Code (NEC) and Shelbyville building standards.
What is the step-by-step process and how long will a whole-home rewire take?
1. In-home assessment – We map every outlet, switch, and fixture, evaluate your service panel, and discuss new circuit needs. 2. Permit filing – Our team secures all city permits and schedules inspections. 3. Rough-in phase – Drywall is carefully notched or attic/crawl space routes are used to pull new cable runs and install new boxes. 4. Panel upgrade – If required, we replace the main panel and meter base to handle the higher ampacity. 5. Device installation – New breakers, outlets, switches, GFCIs/AFCIs, and hard-wired smoke detectors are fitted. 6. Inspection – Shelbyville’s electrical inspector verifies compliance before walls are closed. 7. Wall repair & final walk-through – We patch drywall, restore paint, label the new panel, and verify every device functions. An average 1,800–2,200 sq ft home takes 5–7 working days. Larger or plaster-walled homes can take up to two weeks.
Do I need to vacate my home during the rewire and how disruptive is it?
Most clients stay in their homes. We stage the work so that critical circuits—HVAC, refrigeration, select lighting—remain energized each evening. Dust is contained with plastic sheeting and daily clean-ups. You may lose power in certain rooms for part of the day, and there will be some wall and ceiling access cuts, but we repair all openings before the project is finished.
What does a whole-house rewire cost in Shelbyville and what affects the price?
Costs typically range from $7 to $12 per square foot. Price variations depend on home size, wall type (plaster vs. drywall), attic/crawl accessibility, panel upgrade requirements, the number of new circuits (kitchen, EV charging, home office), and any cosmetic restoration requested (texture matching, custom colors). After our free assessment we provide a fixed-price proposal so there are no surprises.
Do your electricians handle all permitting and inspections for Shelbyville?
Absolutely. We file the electrical permit with the City of Shelbyville Codes Department, coordinate mid-rough and final inspections, and supply any load calculations or panel schedules the inspector requests. Because we follow NEC 2023 and local amendments, approvals are usually granted on the first visit—saving you time and frustration.
How can I be sure your electricians are qualified and that the new wiring will be safe?
Our lead electricians are Tennessee state-licensed, OSHA-10 certified, and receive continuous NEC update training. We pull only UL-listed copper cable, install AFCI/GFCI protection where code dictates, torque-test every breaker terminal, and provide a one-year workmanship warranty plus manufacturer warranties on devices. After the final inspection, you receive a detailed as-built circuit map and a signed certificate of code compliance for your records and homeowner’s insurance.
