FAQs
Why might a whole-home rewire be necessary for my Turtletown property?
Most homes built before the mid-1980s contain aluminum or cloth-sheathed wiring that can overheat, lack sufficient grounding, and struggle to support today’s electricity-hungry appliances. A rewire replaces outdated conductors, adds properly sized circuits, and brings the service panel up to modern National Electrical Code (NEC) and Tennessee state standards. It also clears the way for solar, EV chargers, home batteries, and other future-ready upgrades.
What does “future-ready infrastructure” actually include?
Our future-ready rewiring package goes beyond simply swapping wires. It typically covers: (1) a 200-amp or larger main service panel with expansion slots, (2) dedicated circuits for HVAC, kitchen, laundry, and EV charging, (3) low-voltage conduit paths for fiber, PoE cameras, and smart-home hubs, (4) whole-house surge protection, and (5) strategically placed smurf tubing so new cabling can be pulled later without opening walls. This framework lets you add solar, battery storage, or generator interlocks with minimal extra cost down the road.
How long does a complete rewire take, and will I need to move out?
A typical 2,000-sq-ft single-story home in Turtletown takes 5–7 working days. Two-story or larger homes can take 10–14 days. We phase the job so essential circuits—refrigerator, HVAC, internet—are restored each evening, allowing most families to stay in the home. If you work from home or have medical equipment that cannot tolerate downtime, we can supply temporary power or schedule neutral days for you to relocate briefly.
Will rewiring damage my walls and finished surfaces?
We use a combination of attic/crawlspace routing, existing chaseways, and precision drywall cuts to keep openings small—usually 4 inches wide and following stud lines for easy patching. After inspection, we provide professional drywall repair and priming. Homeowners generally need only a final coat of matching paint. Historic wood trim and plaster are protected or, when requested, rerouted through baseboard raceways to preserve original finishes.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost in the Turtletown area?
Costs vary with square footage, accessibility, and the scope of future-ready features. As of 2024, our projects average $8–$12 per square foot. A 2,000-sq-ft home would run roughly $16k–$24k. Optional upgrades—such as an EV-ready circuit, whole-house surge protector, or generator interlock—add $300–$1,200 each. We provide a line-item proposal and help homeowners apply for TVA energy-efficiency rebates or federal tax credits that can offset 10–30 percent of the final price.
What inspections and warranties come with your rewiring service?
We pull all required permits with Polk County Building & Codes and schedule rough-in and final inspections. You receive a signed inspection card and PDF compliance certificate for insurance or resale documentation. Our labor is covered by a 10-year workmanship warranty, while materials such as breakers, receptacles, and surge devices carry manufacturer warranties of 5–15 years. If any workmanship-related issue arises, we repair it at no charge, including drywall touch-ups.
