FAQs
Why might I need a complete home rewire in Sunbright?
Homes more than 30–40 years old often contain aluminum branch circuits, two-wire (non-grounded) cabling, or undersized breaker panels that cannot safely power today’s electronics and high-draw appliances. A full rewire replaces outdated wiring with modern copper NM-B cable, adds dedicated circuits, and brings the entire electrical system up to the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) and Sunbright municipal requirements. This reduces fire risk, ends nuisance tripping, and increases your home’s resale value.
What modern safety standards do your rewires follow?
Every project is designed and inspected to the latest NEC edition, Tennessee State Electrical Code, and the City of Sunbright permit guidelines. That includes AFCI protection on bedroom and living-area circuits, GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, garages, and exterior outlets, tamper-resistant receptacles, proper grounding and bonding, surge protection, smoke/CO detector interconnected circuits, and labeled 200-amp (or larger) load centers. All materials are UL-listed and installed by licensed, background-checked electricians.
How long will a whole-home rewire take and will I have to move out?
A typical 1,800–2,400 sq ft single-family home in Sunbright takes 5–10 working days to rewire, depending on attic/crawl-space accessibility and wall construction. We re-energize critical circuits (refrigerator, HVAC, lighting) at the end of each day so most clients can remain in the home. For extensive plaster or lathe walls, you may choose to stay elsewhere for comfort, but it is rarely mandatory.
Will rewiring damage my walls and finishes?
Our team uses strategic wall fishing, attic drops, and crawl-space runs to limit disruption. Small, surgically cut access holes (about 3" × 3") are patched, sanded, and primed afterward. In 90 % of projects, only minor touch-up painting is required. If larger drywall removal is unavoidable, we’ll discuss it during the walk-through and include full repair in the fixed bid.
Do I need permits and inspections for a rewire?
Yes. Sunbright’s Building & Codes Department requires an electrical permit and two inspections—rough-in (before walls are closed) and final (when devices and breakers are installed). We secure all permits, schedule inspections, and provide you with signed approval stickers for your records, ensuring the work is fully compliant and insurable.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost and what affects the price?
In Sunbright, complete rewires start around $9–$11 per square foot, so an average 2,000 sq ft home ranges from $18 k to $22 k. Price varies with panel upgrade size, number of new circuits, smart-home options, accessibility (slab vs. crawl), and required drywall repair. We provide a detailed, line-item estimate after an on-site assessment, and financing with 0 % introductory APR is available for qualified homeowners.
