FAQ

How is rewiring cost estimated?
It's based on roughly $2–$4 per square foot (covering labor and materials), adjusted for the home's age and wall access, with an optional panel upgrade added on. Older homes and finished, hard-to-reach walls cost more.
Does this include a new electrical panel?
Only if you toggle it on. A panel upgrade is often a separate $1,300–$3,000 line item; many older homes being rewired need one to handle modern loads.
