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

Rewiring a house is not a simple per‑square‑foot price; the final cost is confirmed after an on‑site inspection of your electrical system and scope. Most of the price comes from complexity and safety upgrades, not square footage alone. A common real‑world driver we see is that a needed panel upgrade can outweigh the wire length itself. Our electricians price projects this way regularly for homes in the Anthem area.

  • Key cost factors typically include: panel upgrades or service size changes
  • Access conditions: open walls vs. fishing wires through finished spaces
  • Required safety updates like AFCI/GFCI protection and whole‑home surge protection
  • Added circuits and device upgrades (EV charger, spa, appliances, smart/USB outlets) Schedule an in‑home evaluation to get an exact quote and a documented scope tailored to your layout and electrical load.
