The average cost to rewire a 2,000 sq ft home in 2026 is estimated to be between $10,000 and $15,000.
This cost range reflects industry benchmarks for a project of this size, which typically takes 4 to 7 days to complete. Several factors influence the final price, ensuring the system meets modern safety and capacity standards. These include:
- Panel Upgrades: A 2,000 sq ft home often requires an upgrade to a 100-amp or 200-amp service to support modern high-demand appliances.
- Number of Outlets and Circuits: Adding dedicated circuits for home offices, HVAC units, or EV chargers will impact the project scope.
- Accessibility: The ease of routing new copper wiring through walls, attics, or crawl spaces affects labor time.
- Permits and Inspections: Costs include local fees to ensure the work is inspected and complies with the National Electrical Code.
