Rewiring is opening walls to replace wiring that is no longer safe to extend: knob and tube, damaged cable, or aluminum branch circuits that have already shown trouble.

You do not rewire a house because a lamp flickered once. You start the conversation when the wiring itself is the limit.
Ceramic knobs and tubes, with single conductors, are the early system. It can still be in service. It is a poor base for new circuits, and many insurers ask about it. Ask your own carrier what they require. We will not tell you they will drop you. We do not know your policy.
That is the aluminum branch circuit era. The CPSC wrote a consumer guide on repairs. The presence of aluminum does not mean the house is about to burn. It does mean you stop adding loads and you hire someone who has repaired it, using methods they can name.
A rewire and a panel upgrade are often the same project in a downtown Columbia house. They should still be separate lines on the quote.
That is not a system. It is a series of patches. An electrician should map what is actually in the walls before pricing a whole house replacement.
02
Nothing here is a weekend plan. The homeowner's role is access and decisions about how much plaster to open.
The electrician figures out what each breaker feeds, where the old cable runs, and which rooms are already on newer wire. A whole house price for a house that is half remodeled is the wrong scope.
Plaster in older Columbia houses does not patch like drywall. Some runs can be fished. Some cannot. The quote should say which rooms get opened and who patches. Electricians often do not paint.
New circuits, grounds, and the devices the current code expects in kitchens and baths. If the panel cannot take them, the panel upgrade happens in the same project.
That is the point of the permit. The state electrical inspection has to see the work. Covering it first is how projects get opened twice.

Angi's 2026 rewiring guide reports an average of $1,567 and a typical range of $603 to $2,596, described against a 2,500 square foot house. Read that as a mix of projects their customers reported, including small ones. It is a poor budget for a full knob and tube replacement in a plaster house, with a new panel.
We are not going to replace their number with a higher one we cannot cite. Ask for a whole house price and a price for the worst rooms only. Those two numbers are how you decide.

The houses that need this page are concentrated. Downtown Columbia and the residential streets that grew with the square, including the West 7th area people tour, are the knob and tube and early cable stock. A rewire there is a plaster job and a patience job. It is also the moment to deal with a small panel, not the year after, when the new circuits have nowhere to land.
Mount Pleasant has a smaller downtown and houses from the phosphate years and after, with plenty of mid twentieth century wiring. Aluminum branch circuits show up in that era. The municipal utility is Mount Pleasant Power System, listed by the state as a permit issuing agent. Do not send that inspection to Columbia Power and Water out of habit.
Spring Hill is the exception that proves the page. Most houses there are new enough that a full rewire is rare. If a Spring Hill house needs one, something unusual happened: a fire, a bad addition, or a very early house swallowed by the new streets. Say which.
A contractor license in Tennessee is required before bidding work of $25,000 or more, with electrical as its own classification. A large rewire can cross that line. A small one may not. Check the license on the state lookup for the person who will actually do the work, and read the threshold on the board's own page because it can change.
05
Not always. The CPSC publication describes repair approaches that leave much of the cable in place. We are not going to turn that publication into instructions. Ask an electrician which method they use and why. If they shrug at the brand of the devices, talk to someone else.
Ask them. Some carriers ask about knob and tube and about Federal Pacific panels. Some do not. We do not know your policy, and we will not pretend there is one Maury County rule.
Often yes, one area at a time, with the power off in that area. Dust and open plaster are the real hardship. Ask the electrician how they sequence rooms. We do not schedule crews.
No. The panel is the box. The rewire is the cable in the walls. Old houses often need both. New Spring Hill houses almost never need the cable replaced just because someone wants a charger.
