The cost to rewire a house ranges from $8,000.00 to as much as $30,000.00 depending on the size of the house and how much wiring and work needs to be done.

Electricians are expensive so if you hire an electrician to rewire the house for you then it will cost more than doing the rewiring yourself.

Larger houses require more materials and more labor to rewire the house than small houses.

If you rewire the house yourself you can often rewire your house for $250.00 to $500.00 or less depending on how much wire you need.

I rewired an old house myself and it only costs me $500.00 when taking into account the inside wiring, new electrical outlets and switches and a new breaker panel inside.

However just wiring the inside without a new breaker panel will be less.

When rewiring a house it's best to also replace at least the inside breaker panel if it's older.

Houses with easy access to the electrical wiring through attics or crawl spaces will generally be cheaper to rewire.

And a complete house rewire including all switches, electrical panel and outlets will cost more than just replacing certain sections of the electrical wire.
