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

Whole-home rewiring cost per square foot varies by home and is confirmed only after an on-site electrical assessment and permit review. The biggest price swing usually comes from how easily new cable can be routed through finished walls and ceilings without opening and repairing large areas. Scope also affects cost, especially panel capacity and required code upgrades like GFCI/AFCI protection. We regularly handle permitting and code updates for projects in the Alafaya area. Most of the labor is careful line routing that keeps your home livable during the work.

Expect per-square-foot pricing to reflect:

• Panel or subpanel upgrades and added circuits
• The count of outlets, switches, and lighting points
• Access conditions (attic/crawlspace availability, plaster vs drywall, insulation)
• Add-ons selected, such as whole-house surge protection or EV charger readiness

If you notice overheating, frequent breaker trips, or scorch marks, treat the project as urgent and switch off the affected circuit. <br/> Updated: 2026-06-07 <br/> Need help in Alafaya, FL? Call (407) 768-4694 or book online.
