Residential electrical services

Occupied-home & phased rewiring

Rewiring while a household remains in place requires planned access, staged outages and a realistic sequence for affected rooms.

When this work makes sense

  • Modernizing active branch wiring
  • Combining room improvements with electrical replacement
  • Planning around an occupied home

The electrical work

Replace branch wiring while staging outages and access around an occupied household.

Finished walls and multiple phases. Panel replacement and patching/painting excluded.

Estimated pricing

$22,500–$45,000 per 1500–2000 sq ft home

Project ranges include labor and standard installation materials unless a listing says otherwise. Hourly rates are labor only, and equipment you supply (such as chargers, fixtures or fans) is not included. Permit fees and sales tax are additional. Estimates are free, including on-site visits.

Electrical work may require openings in walls or ceilings. Drywall patching, texture, and painting are not included and must be arranged with others.

What affects the scope and cost
