How much does it cost to rewire a full house safely?

Whole-home rewiring cost is only confirmed after an on-site inspection because price depends on home size, access, code upgrades, and whether panel or aluminum-wiring work is needed. The most common drivers are aging wiring and a panel upgrade combined with the drywall access needed to pull new cable safely and cleanly. Our licensed electricians often pair rewiring with code updates, surge protection, and smoke/CO upgrades for a safer, modern system, and we routinely perform this work across Travis County homes. A good tech will map every circuit first; if labeling is a mess, expect more discovery time before a firm quote. Final scope typically dictates whether to stage work by area or complete it in one push.

For clarity during your quote, bring up:

• Home size and layout (single vs multi-story)
• Attic/crawlspace access and wall finish needs
• Panel replacement or new circuits required
• Aluminum wiring remediation or added surge protection
