Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my home's wiring needs to be replaced?
Signs that your home may need rewiring include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, burning smells from outlets, outlets that are warm to the touch, or if your home was built before 1970 and has never been rewired. Homes with aluminum wiring or older knob-and-tube wiring should be inspected. Call Rutledge Electric for a free assessment.
What does a residential electrical panel upgrade cost?
Panel upgrade costs vary based on the size of your panel (100A, 150A, or 200A service), local permit fees, and any additional work needed. Rutledge Electric provides free, honest estimates before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect. Call (254) 968-7515 to schedule.
How long does a whole-home rewire take?
Most single-family home rewires take 3–7 days depending on the size of the home and complexity of the job. Rod Rutledge will give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep disruption to a minimum.
Do you pull permits for residential electrical work?
Yes. Rutledge Electric pulls all required permits for residential electrical work in Stephenville and surrounding jurisdictions. Permitted work protects your investment, ensures code compliance, and is required for most home insurance and mortgage transactions.
Do you serve rural properties and ranches?
Absolutely. We regularly work on rural homes, farmhouses, and ranch properties throughout Erath County and beyond. We handle everything from barn service panels to well pump wiring.
