FAQs
Why would I need a whole-home rewire instead of a few repairs?
A full rewire replaces every circuit, device, and panel in the house, eliminating hidden aluminum, knob-and-tube, or damaged copper that piecemeal repairs can miss. This brings the entire electrical system up to the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) now enforced in Blount County, reduces the risk of fire, and guarantees your home can safely handle today’s high-demand appliances, electronics, and electric-vehicle charging.
What modern safety features are added during a rewire in Walland?
Our electricians install AFCI protection on all 120-volt branch circuits, GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, garages, outdoors, and unfinished spaces, tamper-resistant receptacles throughout the home, and whole-home surge protection at the new service panel. We also ensure proper grounding and bonding, run dedicated circuits for HVAC and EV chargers, and clearly label every breaker to simplify future maintenance.
How long will a whole-home rewire take and will I lose power?
An average 2,000-sq-ft home usually takes 5–7 working days. We stage the project so only the circuits being replaced that day are shut off, meaning you still have lighting and receptacles in other areas. Full power is restored each evening, and final tie-in happens once all wiring is tested and inspected. Larger homes or extensive drywall repairs may extend the timeline.
Will the rewire destroy my walls and ceilings?
We use a strategic "fish and patch" approach: small 3-x-3-inch access openings are made near outlets, switches, and framing cavities, allowing us to pull new cable without removing entire walls. After wiring is complete, we patch, tape, and texture those openings, leaving them paint-ready. Any unavoidable larger drywall removal is discussed—and included—in the proposal so there are no surprises.
How much does a complete rewire cost in the Walland area?
Costs vary with square footage, accessibility, and service upgrades, but most Blount County homes fall between $8 and $14 per square foot, including materials, labor, permits, and patching. We provide a free on-site assessment and a fixed-price proposal with line-item details so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins.
Do you handle permits and inspections, and what warranty is provided?
Yes. We pull the required electrical permit with the Blount County Building Department and schedule all interim and final inspections. You’ll receive copies of the passed inspection reports for your records. Your new wiring, panel, and devices carry a 5-year workmanship warranty and all manufacturer warranties on breakers, receptacles, and surge protectors, giving you long-term peace of mind.
