How much does whole house electrical rewiring cost on average?

Whole-house electrical rewiring cost varies widely and is set only after an on-site assessment of your home. The biggest driver is your home’s size and how hard it is to reach and replace existing wiring.

Our electricians handle these projects around the Roanoke area regularly and begin with a thorough inspection to define scope, timeline, and a clear plan; all work is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If your system shows safety red flags (burning smells, shocks, frequent breaker trips, or warm outlets), prioritize an evaluation before budgeting, since urgent hazards can change the scope quickly. In some homes, a targeted partial rewire or a panel upgrade first can be the most cost-effective path.

What most often influences price:

• Required electrical panel upgrade or service-capacity change
• Number of new circuits, GFCI/AFCI protection, and device replacements
• Wall/ceiling access needs and patch/paint restoration
• Existing wiring type and condition (for example, aluminum or brittle insulation)

Always get a licensed electrician to inspect and provide a firm, itemized price before work begins.
