FAQs
Why might my Thorn Hill home need a full electrical rewire?
A whole-home rewire is recommended when the existing wiring is outdated, undersized, or unsafe. Homes built before the mid-1980s often still have aluminum branch circuits, knob-and-tube, or cloth-insulated wiring that can overheat, short, or lack a grounding conductor. A rewire replaces every circuit with modern copper, adds dedicated breakers for high-demand appliances, and brings the installation up to the latest Ontario Electrical Code—greatly reducing fire risk and improving reliability for today’s electronics.
How long does a complete rewire usually take, and will my family need to move out?
For an average 2,000 sq ft Thorn Hill home, a full rewire takes 5–10 working days, depending on wall access and panel location. We plan work in stages—rough-in, inspection, and finish—to minimize disruption. In many cases you can stay in the house; we leave one temporary circuit alive for lights, fridge, and internet each night. If plaster removal, asbestos abatement, or extensive drywall repair is required, a short stay elsewhere may be more comfortable, and we’ll advise you beforehand.
What high-quality materials do you use, and why are they better?
We install 99.9 % pure copper cabling with temperature-rated 90 °C XLPE insulation for lower resistance and longer service life. All devices are specification-grade: tamper-resistant receptacles, commercial-duty switches, and stainless-steel wall plates. AFCI/GFCI combination breakers from reputable brands (Siemens, Square D) protect every circuit, and the panel is a CSA-certified, copper-bus model with a 225 A rating for future expansion. These materials handle higher loads, resist corrosion, and carry manufacturer warranties up to 25 years—saving you repair costs later.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost in Thorn Hill, and what factors affect pricing?
Pricing typically ranges from $9 to $13 per square foot. Key cost drivers are home size, number of finished levels, accessibility of walls/ceilings, required service-panel upgrade, and any code-mandated extras such as smoke/CO interlocks. Because we use premium copper wire and spec-grade devices, material costs are higher than entry-level options, but labour stays similar. After an on-site assessment we provide a fixed quote, so there are no change-order surprises unless you add scope.
Will you obtain permits and arrange inspections?
Yes. As a licensed ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) contractor we file the Notification of Work before starting, schedule intermediate and final inspections, and provide you with the Certificate of Acceptance when the job is complete. This document is required for home insurance and boosts resale value by showing buyers the electrical system meets current code.
What warranties or guarantees come with my new wiring?
Your rewire includes a lifetime workmanship guarantee on all terminations and splices, plus a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty on wiring, breakers, and devices. If any covered component fails under normal use, we replace it at no charge. You also receive a one-year no-cost service call period: if a receptacle, switch, or breaker gives you trouble, we’ll troubleshoot and repair it promptly.
