What Is the Cost to Rewire an Entire House?

Electrical Q&A
What Is the Cost to Rewire an Entire House?

Full house rewiring is one of the more significant electrical investments a homeowner can make, and cost varies considerably based on your home’s size, accessibility, and current condition. Here is what actually drives the price, from the licensed electricians at EZSMART, serving Toronto and the GTA.

What Affects the Cost

  • Home size, since more square footage means more wiring runs and outlets
  • Number of stories, as multi-story homes involve more complex routing
  • Wall accessibility, since finished walls that must be opened and repaired cost more than exposed framing during a renovation
  • Panel condition, since a panel upgrade is often bundled with a full rewire
  • Number of circuits and outlets being added or updated beyond a like-for-like replacement
  • Drywall and finishing repair needed after wiring work is complete, if not already factored separately

Why Timing Matters for Cost

Rewiring during a renovation, when walls are already open, is significantly more cost effective than rewiring a fully finished home, since the labor and repair costs associated with opening and closing walls are substantially reduced. If you are planning a renovation and know your home has outdated wiring, coordinating the rewiring with that project timeline is one of the most effective ways to manage overall cost.

Getting an Accurate Quote

Because of how many variables are involved, an accurate quote requires an in-person assessment rather than a general estimate. A licensed electrician will review your home’s layout, current wiring, and goals, then provide a detailed quote, ideally broken down by phase if the project will be done in stages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it cheaper to rewire during a renovation?
Yes, significantly, since open walls reduce labor and repair costs compared to a standalone rewiring project in a finished home.

Does rewiring cost include drywall repair?
This varies by contractor, so confirm whether patching and repair are included in your quote or handled separately.

Can I rewire just part of my house to manage cost?
Yes, partial or phased rewiring is a common approach, prioritizing the highest-risk areas first.
