FAQs
Why might a Tullahoma homeowner need a whole-home rewire?
Many houses in Tullahoma were built before today’s electrical demands and codes existed. If your home still has aluminum branch circuits, knob-and-tube wiring, two-prong outlets, frequent breaker trips, or visible brittle insulation, a complete rewire eliminates fire risks and provides the capacity needed for modern HVAC systems, smart devices, and EV chargers.
Which electrical codes and safety standards are followed during a rewire?
We design and install every system to the latest National Electrical Code (NEC 2023), the Tennessee State Residential Code, and City of Tullahoma permit requirements. This includes proper AFCI/GFCI protection, tamper-resistant receptacles, correct conductor sizing, arc-flash labeling, and bonding/grounding that meets modern fault-current calculations.
How long does a full house rewire take and do I have to move out?
Most single-family homes (1,500–2,500 sq ft) take 5–10 working days. We schedule work in stages—demo, rough-in, inspection, and finish—so power is only fully off for short windows. You can usually stay in the home; we set up temporary circuits for lighting and appliances and isolate work zones to keep disruption and dust to a minimum.
What does a whole-home rewire cost in Tullahoma?
Costs typically range $8,000–$18,000, depending on square footage, number of circuits, crawl-space vs. slab foundation, panel upgrade needs, and finish selections (standard vs. decorator devices). After an on-site assessment we provide a fixed-price proposal that includes permits, materials, labor, patching of wall openings, and the final city inspection.
Will rewiring improve my home’s value and insurance coverage?
Yes. A documented rewire removes insurance surcharges for outdated wiring and makes obtaining coverage easier. Appraisers and buyers recognize a new electrical system as a major capital upgrade that can boost resale value and marketability, especially with the added capacity for EV chargers, solar interconnections, and high-efficiency HVAC.
Do you handle permits, inspections, and offer warranties?
Absolutely. We pull the electrical permit with the Tullahoma Building Codes Department, coordinate rough-in and final inspections, and provide a written certificate of completion for your records. All labor is warrantied for five years, and materials carry the manufacturer’s warranty—typically 10 years on panels and breakers.
