FAQs
Why might I need a whole-home rewire in Thorn Hill?
Homes built before the mid-1980s often contain outdated aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring that can overheat, trip breakers, or fail to support today’s power-hungry appliances. A complete rewire eliminates these hazards, brings the installation up to the current Ontario Electrical Code, adds grounding to every circuit, and provides enough capacity for EV chargers, heat pumps, and smart-home technology.
What “latest techniques” do you use during a whole-home rewire?
Our electricians use thermal imaging to map hidden circuits, fish new 90 °C-rated copper cable through walls with minimal drywall cuts, and install combination AFCI/GFCI breakers for maximum shock and fire protection. We also label every circuit with QR codes that link to digital panel schedules, making future troubleshooting far easier.
How long will a complete rewire take and do I have to move out?
Most Thorn Hill houses (1,800–2,500 sq ft) take 7–10 working days. We rewire room by room so you can usually stay in the home; we set up temporary power to key areas like the kitchen and one bathroom each night. Larger or heavily finished homes may require a short hotel stay of 1–2 nights while service upgrades or panel changeovers are completed.
Will a rewire increase my property value and meet inspection requirements?
Yes. A new 200-amp copper wiring system instantly removes red flags for insurers and buyers, often adding 3–5 % to resale value. We pull a permit with the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) and arrange both rough-in and final inspections; you’ll receive an ESA Certificate of Acceptance, which proves code compliance and can lower your insurance premium.
How do you keep dust, noise, and disruption to a minimum?
We use oscillating saws with HEPA-vac attachments, cover floors and furniture with reusable plastic sheeting, and patch small access holes the same day they are made. Our electricians work in teams so circuits are off only for short periods, and we provide a daily progress report so you know exactly which areas will be affected next.
What warranties and after-service support do you provide?
All labour and materials are warrantied for 5 years. Breakers, receptacles, and the service panel carry manufacturers’ warranties of up to 25 years. After the final ESA pass, we perform a complimentary infrared scan at the 12-month mark to confirm all connections remain tight and safe, and we offer discounted annual maintenance plans for ongoing peace of mind.
