How much does it cost to rewire a house per square foot?

House rewiring cost per square foot is not fixed; a licensed electrician confirms pricing after an on-site assessment. Most price swings come from how accessible your wiring is and whether the job is a full rewire or a targeted retrofit. Panel upgrades, aluminum wiring fixes, and code updates can expand scope, and we often pair rewires with whole-home surge protection for modern reliability. We regularly complete rewires across Central Texas, including the Manor area. On older homes, we sometimes uncover mixed wiring types behind a couple of opened walls, which can change circuit counts and labor.

Key factors that move per‑sq‑ft pricing:

• Finished walls vs open access or remodel conditions
• Panel capacity and whether replacement is needed
• Aluminum wiring remediation and required code updates (AFCI/GFCI)
• Device/fixture counts and added data or lighting runs
