Frequently asked questions
How long does a whole-house rewire take?
A typical three-bedroom home takes five to seven business days. Larger homes or homes with complex layouts may take longer. We provide a detailed timeline before work begins.
Do I need to move out during the rewiring?
In most cases, no. We work room by room and restore power to completed sections each day. There will be periods without power in specific areas, but we schedule to minimize inconvenience.
How do I know if my home needs rewiring?
Signs include frequent breaker trips, discolored outlets, a burning smell near outlets or switches, two-prong outlets throughout the home, or wiring that is more than 40 years old. We offer a thorough inspection to assess your situation.
