FAQs

Why would a Signal Mountain home need a full electrical rewire?

Homes built before the 1980s often contain outdated aluminum or cloth-covered wiring, ungrounded outlets, and undersized service panels. These can’t safely handle today’s appliance loads, smart-home devices, or EV chargers. A whole-home rewire replaces aging conductors, receptacles, and breakers so your property meets modern National Electrical Code (NEC) standards, reduces fire risk, and supports higher electrical demands.

How long does a whole-house rewire typically take?

In Signal Mountain, a complete rewire for a 2,000-sq-ft residence usually takes 5–10 business days, depending on attic/crawl-space access, wall construction, and whether the home is occupied. Projects are often scheduled in phases—rough-in, inspection, and finish trim—to minimize disruption. Larger or historic homes may take longer if plaster walls or custom finishes require extra care.

Will I have to move out during the rewire?

Not necessarily. Many customers stay in their homes while we rewire. We plan daily shut-offs in specific circuits, set up temporary power for critical areas (refrigerator, Wi-Fi, HVAC), and clean up each evening. However, if your home office or medical equipment must stay powered continuously, or if extensive drywall removal is needed, temporary relocation could be more convenient.

What permits and inspections are required in Hamilton County?

Whole-house rewires require an electrical permit from the Hamilton County Building Inspection Department. Our licensed, bonded electricians handle the application, schedule rough-in and final inspections, and ensure all work complies with the latest NEC and Signal Mountain municipal amendments. You’ll receive a signed inspection card and a detailed warranty upon completion.

How much does a complete rewire cost in the Signal Mountain area?

Costs range from $8 to $14 per square foot. Variables include square footage, number of new circuits, service-panel upgrade (often to 200 A), surge protection, GFCI/AFCI requirements, and finish repair (drywall, paint). After a free on-site assessment, we provide a fixed-price quote, so there are no surprise add-ons during construction.

Can energy-efficient or smart-home upgrades be added during the rewire?

Absolutely. A rewire is the ideal time to integrate LED lighting circuits, whole-home surge protection, dedicated EV charger branch circuits, hard-wired smart switches, CAT6 data drops, and generator transfer switches. Bundling these installations during a rewire lowers labor costs and future-proofs your Signal Mountain home for evolving technology.
