Common Whole Home Rewiring Scenarios
Knob-and-Tube Wiring
Homes built before 1950 in areas like Germantown often still contain uninsulated knob-and-tube wiring that insurance companies refuse to cover without replacement.
Aluminum Branch Circuit Wiring
1960s and 1970s Nashville homes frequently used aluminum wiring that expands and contracts at connections, creating overheating risks at outlets and switches.
Chronic Breaker Tripping
Older homes with original wiring frequently lack enough circuits for modern appliances, causing repeated tripping that signals dangerous overloading of undersized wire gauges.
Our Whole Home Rewiring Process
Wiring Assessment
We inspect every accessible panel, outlet, and junction box, identifying wire type, gauge, insulation condition, and any code violations before quoting the full scope.
Permit Procurement
We file the electrical permit with Metro Nashville Codes and schedule the required inspections, keeping your project legal and your homeowners insurance valid.
Full Rewire Installation
Our crew runs new copper wiring through walls and attic spaces, installs a new panel if needed, and connects all outlets, switches, and fixtures circuit by circuit.
Final Inspection and Cleanup
A Metro Nashville codes inspector signs off on the completed work, and we patch any drywall access points and restore the work areas before leaving your home.

Yes, any rewiring that involves new branch circuits or panel replacement requires a permit through Metro Nashville Codes. We handle the entire application, inspection scheduling, and final sign-off as part of every project.
We use copper THHN wire sized to current NEC requirements for each circuit type. Copper is the standard for residential branch circuits due to its conductivity, flexibility, and long service life compared to aluminum alternatives.
