How much does it cost to rewire a whole house professionally?

Professional whole‑house rewiring is custom‑priced; the total cost depends on your home’s size, existing wiring condition, and code‑upgrade needs, and it’s confirmed only after an on‑site inspection with upfront pricing. Most of the budget goes to labor for opening/patching walls, running new cable, updating the service panel if needed, and bringing protection devices up to code. Our licensed electricians routinely rewire older homes in the Blacksburg area and provide transparent estimates before work begins. A full rewire is typically chosen when age, damage, or capacity limits make piecemeal fixes unreliable long‑term.

What drives price and scope:

• Square footage, number of circuits, and accessibility (attic/crawl vs finished walls)
• Required panel upgrade, grounding, and AFCI/GFCI protection
• Plaster vs drywall repair and whether the home is occupied during work
• Permit/inspection fees and removal of unsafe legacy wiring

Schedule a licensed electrician to evaluate your panel, grounding, and accessible wiring before budgeting a full rewire. <br/> Updated: 2026-03-31 <br/> Need help in Blacksburg, VA? Call 5406851594 or book online.
