Residential Wiring Projects We Handle

Wiring is the bones of every other home improvement. New countertops over old wiring is a missed opportunity — and sometimes a real safety issue. We wire residential projects the right way: properly sized circuits, dedicated runs where required, and clean finish for the trades that follow.

A typical residential wiring project by Nashville Electric Pros includes:

  • Rough-in wiring for additions, remodels, and new construction — properly sized circuits and home runs
  • Dedicated circuits for kitchen small appliances, microwave, dishwasher, disposal, refrigerator, range
  • Bathroom GFCI circuits per current code (separate from other rooms)
  • Basement finishes — outlets every 12 ft, lighting circuits, dedicated for HVAC/water heater
  • Full home rewires — replacing knob-and-tube, aluminum, or cloth-insulated wire
  • Outlet and switch additions — bringing older rooms to current code
  • Detached structures — garages, shops, ADUs with sub-panels and underground feeders
  • AFCI and GFCI protection per current NEC

Common Wiring Projects in Nashville

Kitchen Remodels

Current code requires at least two 20A small-appliance circuits, a dedicated dishwasher and disposal, dedicated microwave, and dedicated refrigerator. Most older kitchens have a fraction of that. We rewire to code during your remodel.

Bathroom Remodels

Bathrooms need their own 20A GFCI circuit, separate from other rooms. Heated floors, exhaust fans, and vanity lighting all need proper circuit design.

Basement Finishes

Outlets every 12 feet, AFCI protection, dedicated circuits for any HVAC equipment, smoke and CO detectors interconnected with the rest of the house.

Full Home Rewires

Older East Nashville, Belmont, 12 South, and Inglewood homes often need full rewires. We work cleanly with plaster-and-lath, fish through finished walls, and coordinate with drywall and paint.

When to Wire During a Remodel

If you're already opening walls, this is the time to update wiring.

Pre-1970s Home

Likely has undersized circuits, no AFCI, no GFCI where required, and possibly aluminum or cloth-jacketed wire.

Kitchen Renovation

Most older kitchens don't meet current circuit requirements. Rewire during the gut.

Bathroom Remodel

Older bathrooms typically lack their own dedicated 20A GFCI circuit.

Adding Square Footage

Additions need their own rough-in and panel coordination.

Finishing a Basement

Code requires specific outlet spacing, AFCI protection, and dedicated circuits.

Old Knob-and-Tube

If active K&T is in walls you're opening, this is the time to replace it.

Residential Wiring FAQs

Common questions about residential wiring in Nashville.

Do I need a permit for new wiring?
For most projects, yes — additions, kitchen and bath remodels, basement finishes, new circuits, panel work. Simple fixture swaps usually don't require a permit. We'll tell you straight.
Can you wire during a remodel?
Yes — that's the right time to do it. We coordinate with your GC, plumber, and HVAC contractor so wiring goes in before drywall.
How much does it cost to rewire a house?
Depends on size, age, accessibility, plaster vs drywall, and how much you're keeping. We do a walkthrough and quote based on the actual home.
Will you tear up my walls?
We minimize wall damage. In a finished home rewire, we fish through walls, open access points strategically, and patch what we open. For full gut remodels it's much easier.
Do you handle inspections?
Yes. We pull permits, schedule rough-in and final inspections, and address any inspector callouts.
Can you work in homes with knob-and-tube?
Yes. Older Nashville homes regularly have active K&T. We replace it as part of larger rewire scope or phased over time.
