How much does it cost to rewire a full house safely?

The cost to safely rewire a full house is confirmed after an on-site assessment because price depends on your home’s size, access, and electrical capacity needs. Most of the budget goes to replacing outdated wiring, updating circuits, and bringing everything to current code with permits and inspections. A veteran electrician prices by circuit count and how hard the wire pulls are, not just square footage. We regularly complete rewires in the Kirby area, so we factor in local permitting and utility coordination. Financing is available, and if your project includes a panel or full electrical service upgrade, you get a free whole-home surge protector at install ($795 value).

Key factors that move the price up or down:

  • Square footage and how many circuits will be added or replaced
  • Access conditions: attic/crawlspace access, plaster vs. drywall, and occupied vs. vacant
  • Need for panel/service upgrade and dedicated circuits for large appliances or EV charging
  • Permitting, required inspections, and utility coordination

An in-home evaluation lets us map circuits, check panel capacity, and provide a clear written quote.
