FAQs
Why would a Tracy City homeowner need a whole-home rewire instead of small repairs?
Homes built before the mid-1980s often contain aluminum branch-circuit wiring, ungrounded two-wire cabling, or cloth-insulated conductors that no longer meet today’s electrical loads. Replacing only bad sections leaves hidden weak points that can arc, overheat, or fail future inspections. A complete rewire brings every circuit up to current NEC code, ensures consistent grounding, expands capacity for modern appliances, and adds resale value while lowering fire risk.
How long does a typical whole-house rewiring project take in Tracy City?
For an average 1,800–2,200 sq ft single-story home, our crew usually completes rough-in rewiring in 4–6 working days, then returns for a 1-day trim-out after drywall repair. Multi-story or larger homes can range from 7–14 days. Permit approvals and drywall/paint restoration add time but we coordinate closely with inspectors and finish trades to keep the overall timeline to 2–3 weeks door to door.
Can I stay in my home while it’s being rewired?
Yes, most clients remain in the house. We create a daily work zone, shut down power only to circuits being replaced, and keep one or two essential circuits live for lights, HVAC, and refrigeration overnight. If a full power cut is required for a short period, we schedule it during weekday hours when you can be away or we provide a temporary generator hookup.
What permits and inspections are required for a full rewire in Marion County?
Marion County Building Codes Office issues an electrical permit based on our stamped load-calculation and layout plan. The county inspector performs two site visits: a rough-in inspection (before walls are closed) and a final inspection (after devices and panel labeling are complete). We handle all paperwork, fees, and scheduling, and furnish you copies of the approval cards for your records and insurance provider.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost in Tracy City?
Pricing depends on square footage, crawlspace/attic accessibility, panel upgrade needs, and fixture count. Recent projects run $6–$9 per heated square foot. For example, a 2,000 sq ft ranch with easy attic access and 40 devices averages $13,000–$16,000, including new 200-amp service equipment. We provide a fixed, itemized quote after a free on-site assessment so there are no surprises.
Will a rewire damage my walls and finished surfaces?
We use a minimally invasive “fish and patch” approach: strategic 4"x6" access holes near outlets and switch boxes allow us to pull new Romex without full wall demolition. After wiring passes inspection, we patch, tape, and texture the openings to paint-ready condition. Most clients repaint only the affected walls; larger color matches can be arranged through our drywall/paint partner.
