Q: How much will it cost to rewire my home? John C., Staten Island, New York. A: This is a question we get frequently. The answer, as it is so often with major home projects, is that thereâs a big potential cost range. You can expect to pay $8,000 to $15,000 to rewire a 1,500- to 3,000-square-foot home. The precise cost will depend on the size and age of your house, the ease with which an electrician can access old wiring, and the quirks that abound in older homes.
Shopping for rewiring a house: 1  If holes must be cut in the walls to run wiring, be sure the cost of the plaster or drywall repair is included in the estimate -- these repairs can be as much as 25-30 percent of the total cost of the rewiring project. Many electricians recommend having the rewiring done while you're on vacation, and say a project will often cost more if you continue living in the home while the work is done. 2  Having an electrician rewire a house generally takes 3-10 days, or about a week for the average older home.
