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

The cost to safely rewire an old house is confirmed only after an on-site inspection, because the final price depends on the home’s size, access, and required code upgrades. In older homes, needed panel capacity upgrades and grounding/bonding corrections are common drivers that change scope and cost.

Our licensed electricians handle full rewiring projects regularly in the Roanoke area, starting with a thorough assessment and clear plan, and all work is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Expect your estimate to reflect:

• Square footage and number of circuits to be replaced
• Panel upgrade or service-capacity changes
• Removal of hazardous or obsolete wiring and device replacements
• Access limits that add labor (attic/crawl, finished walls) and any drywall repairs
• Safety additions such as AFCI/GFCI protection and whole-house grounding updates
• Whether the home is occupied during work, which can extend timelines

Schedule a licensed electrician to inspect and define the exact scope before you set your budget.
