How much does it cost to rewire a house per square foot?

The cost to rewire a house per square foot varies widely, and Wisler Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric provides a firm, transparent quote only after an on-site evaluation. The biggest driver is how easy it is to access existing wiring versus fishing new cable through finished walls and ceilings. Whole-home rewiring often pairs with panel upgrades; for smaller issues, targeted circuit rewiring can be the smarter spend. We handle full rewiring and panel work across the Roanoke–Martinsville corridor, including projects around Callands.

Key factors that change price per square foot:

• Type and age of existing wiring (aluminum, knob-and-tube, mixed updates)
• Panel capacity, grounding, and surge/AFCI-GFCI needs
• Access through attics, crawlspaces, and wall patching/paint scope
• Home size, circuit count, and added safety devices like interconnected smokes

Schedule a licensed electrician to inspect and map your circuits before setting a budget.
