FAQs
Why would a Thorn Hill homeowner need a whole-home rewire?
A complete rewire is recommended when a property still relies on outdated knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, has an undersized 60-amp service, shows signs of insulation breakdown, or lacks sufficient circuits for today’s power-hungry appliances. Rewiring removes fire hazards, eliminates frequent breaker trips, brings the installation up to the current Ontario Electrical Code, and provides the capacity for future upgrades such as electric-vehicle chargers or heat pumps.
How long does a full rewire usually take and will my power be off the entire time?
For an average 2,000-sq-ft Thorn Hill home, the on-site portion typically takes 5–10 business days. We stage the project so only specific areas are powered down while work is performed, then reconnect them at day’s end. A brief, whole-house outage is required when we replace the main service and panel, but it is normally limited to a few hours and scheduled in advance to minimize disruption.
Will walls and ceilings need to be opened, and how do you control dust and debris?
Some drywall access is unavoidable to fish new cable runs, but our seasoned electricians use minimally invasive techniques: fishing through existing cavities, accessing from closets, and cutting neat, small openings that are clearly marked for quick patching. We install floor protection, isolate work zones with plastic sheeting, deploy HEPA vacuums, and provide a professional drywall/paint patch-back service so the home is left clean and ready for finishing.
What permits and inspections are required, and who handles them?
In Thorn Hill (York Region), any rewire must be filed with the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA). As the licensed electrical contractor, we obtain the notification of work, coordinate all rough-in and final inspections, and supply the homeowner with the ESA Certificate of Acceptance upon completion. This certificate is essential for insurance purposes and offers proof the installation meets or exceeds Ontario Electrical Code requirements.
Can I stay in my house during the project, and how should I prepare?
Most clients remain in their homes. We create a day-by-day schedule so you always have a powered kitchen area, at least one functional bathroom, and evening lighting. We ask that rooms be decluttered and large furniture moved 3 ft from walls. Electronics and valuables should be covered or relocated. If you work from home, we can arrange temporary circuits so your internet and office equipment stay operational.
What does a whole-home rewire cost in Thorn Hill and what factors affect pricing?
A typical detached home ranges from $12,000–$25,000+ HST. Key cost drivers include square footage, number of finished levels, accessibility of crawl spaces or attics, service size upgrade (e.g., 100 A to 200 A), quantity of dedicated circuits (EV charger, hot tub, HVAC), and desired device upgrades such as recessed LED lighting or smart switches. After a free on-site assessment, we provide a fixed-price quote that outlines scope, materials, ESA fees, drywall repairs, and optional add-ons so there are no surprises.
