Prices from 5 Georgia electricians
This is a typical range, not a quote. The sections below explain what moves the price for this job. The dot marks the middle price, and a + means some businesses charge more.
What the job involves
Whole-house rewiring pulls new cable through the walls, ceilings and attic or crawl space to replace the old wiring, often with new boxes and devices where the old ones are worn. The old cable is usually disconnected and left in the walls rather than pulled out.
It is a far bigger job than a panel replacement, which only changes the box where circuits begin, and than adding an outlet or a dedicated circuit, which add to the wiring you have. Rewiring can also be done in part, such as a floor or a set of circuits, and that is priced differently from the whole-house range above.
When an inspection is required, the inspector may want to see the work before the walls are closed.
What moves the price
- Adding circuits and outlets
- Rewiring is a chance to add outlets and circuits the old house lacks. More of them mean more wire, boxes and breaker work than putting back what was there.
- Plaster or drywall walls
- Plaster over wood strips is harder to cut into and patch neatly than drywall, and walls packed with insulation make wire harder to pull.
- Which spaces are included
- Some quotes cover only the main living space, and others also include the garage, an outbuilding, outdoor outlets or a well pump. Compare what each bid actually reaches.
- Devices and plates included
- Replacing every outlet, switch and cover plate is part of many rewires and not of others. Ask whether the quote includes new ones or reuses the old.
Getting a quote
Questions to ask each electrician before you compare prices:
- Is this a whole-house rewire or only part of the house, and what stays as it is?
- Which spaces does the price reach, such as the attic, garage and outdoor outlets?
- Will every outlet, switch and cover plate be new?
- How many outlets and circuits are in the price, and what does an extra one cost?
- Will you fish the wire through the walls or open them, and who repairs what you open?
- If inspections are needed, who schedules them, and is their fee in the price?
