Whole-House Rewiring Cost
Rewiring cost tracks square footage and how much drywall or plaster has to be opened and patched to reach the old wiring, plus how many circuits the new layout needs to meet current code and modern loads.
| Low | High | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| $8000 | $20000 | per whole-house rewire |
What moves the price
- Home size, more square footage means more wire runs and more time
- Wall/ceiling access: plaster and finished walls cost more to open and patch than open framing
- Number of new circuits needed to meet current code and modern electrical demand
- Whether the job is staged room-by-room or done in one continuous pass
- Permit and inspection requirements, which apply to a rewire in every jurisdiction
