Full Electrical Rewire Estimator

Enter house, room, device, fixture, panel, and service quantities, then choose whole-house rewire, rough-in, devices, lighting, life safety, GFCI/AFCI, dedicated circuits, appliance circuits, panel, service upgrade, subpanel, grounding, trim-out, code correction, access, permit, and full electrical rewire package allowances.

Full electrical rewire pricing is a baseline estimate. Electrical work must be verified by a licensed electrician. Verify panel capacity, service size, utility requirements, grounding/bonding, AFCI/GFCI requirements, fixture/device counts, wall access, attic/crawlspace access, permits, inspections, NEC/local code requirements, and subcontractor pricing before final use. This scope may overlap with room-level electrical and exterior electrical service items.

Full Electrical Rewire Dimensions

Full electrical rewire may overlap with room-level outlets, switches, light fixtures, GFCI, appliance circuits, smoke detectors, and exterior electrical service items.

Use this section when estimating house-wide electrical rough-in and trim-out instead of room by room.

Electrical rewire pricing changes significantly based on open walls vs closed walls, attic/crawlspace access, service size, panel condition, code corrections, permits, and inspection requirements.

Electrical work must be verified by a licensed electrician.
