How much does it cost to replace knob and tube wiring?

Replacing knob-and-tube wiring is custom-priced after an on-site inspection because scope, access, and code upgrades vary widely by home. Most of the cost typically comes from labor to replace all runs and bring outlets, grounding, and circuits up to modern standards. Our electricians regularly rewire homes in the greater San Antonio area and coordinate permitting, inspections, and utility needs when required. If a panel or full service upgrade is included, we install a whole-home surge protector at the panel as a promotional add-on, and financing options are available.

Key factors that drive price:

  • Square footage and number of circuits being replaced
  • Attic/crawl access and wall conditions that affect fishing new cable
  • Need for a panel or service amperage upgrade to support today’s loads
  • Permitting, inspection coordination, and any added dedicated circuits for appliances or EV charging

An in-home assessment is the only safe way to confirm scope and price.
