How much does house rewiring cost per square foot?

House rewiring cost per square foot is not a reliable metric; reputable electricians price a whole‑home rewire after an on‑site assessment of scope. The biggest driver is how much of the system must be replaced or upgraded to meet current safety codes. In our field experience, footage matters less than how many circuits you’ll split and how much wall access is needed. For homes we service across the Denver area, code updates and access often shape the final number more than size alone. Free estimates are available.

If you’re comparing quotes, look for itemized details:

  • Panel upgrade or repair needs
  • Number of new circuits and dedicated appliance runs
  • Wall/ceiling access and patching expectations
  • Added safety devices (GFCI/AFCI, surge protection)

Ask for a written scope with panel, circuits, and patching itemized before you approve work.
