How much does it cost to rewire an old house completely?

The cost to completely rewire an older house is determined after an on-site assessment because scope, code upgrades, and panel needs drive the price. The biggest drivers are home size and how easily we can access walls and ceilings; materials, safety devices, and any panel relocation or upgrade also affect the total.

We handle permitting and inspections for major electrical projects, and a whole-house rewire typically spans several days once work begins. Our team has deep experience managing these steps for Lafayette-area homes. Financing options are available, with transparent pricing provided before work starts.

What most often changes the price:

  • Square footage and number of circuits needed
  • Access conditions (attic, crawlspace, plaster/drywall openness)
  • Panel upgrade or relocation and breaker work
  • Added scope like GFCI/AFCI upgrades, dedicated appliance circuits, EV charger circuits, and lighting

Schedule a professional assessment before budgeting so hidden issues can be identified safely.
