Find an Electrician

Many people want to know how much it will cost to rewire their entire house. Where is an electrician when you need one? Like the answer to so many difficult questions... the cost to rewire your house... depends:

Factors in the Rewiring Cost:

• Age of the Home - older homes can require more work - the electrical box might only be for 100 amps while homes today need 200 amps.
  
• Number of Rooms - you can rewire one room, three, just the main floor, or the entire house.
  
• The Level of Intrusiveness - will the electrician need to go behind the walls to remove and replace wiring? Or will they be able to run new wire in the baseboards and through the floorboards through an unfinished basement and attic?
  
• Area of the Country - like any labor intensive job, costs can vary from state to state and within urban versus rural communities.

Rewiring Your House
Make sure that the electrician installs GFI outlets in all the wet rooms. GFI outlets are instantly turn off the electrical supply when the appliance, cord, or outlet comes in contact with water. A wet room is the bathroom, kitchen, laundry room and even the garage is now considered to be such.

Plan on spending about $1000 to $1500 to rewire a single major room, such as your kitchen (which requires multiple outlets and usually has a lot of accent and task lighting.)

Smaller room could be in the $300 to $1000 range. To completely wire the average home in the U.S. it will cost anywhere from $8000 to $20,000.
