๐ก How Much Does Electrical Work Cost?
Electrical costs vary by project scope. A full house rewire runs $6โ$10 per square foot ($9,000โ$15,000 for a 1,500 sq ft home). A panel upgrade from 100A to 200A costs $2,500โ$4,500. Adding a new 20A circuit costs $200โ$400 per circuit including materials and labor.
Electricians charge $50โ$100/hour depending on region and experience. Permits are required for most electrical work and cost $100โ$500. Always hire a licensed electrician โ DIY electrical work can void insurance, fail inspection, and create fire hazards.
Adding 4 new circuits: $300 materials + $800 labor + $150 permit = $1,250 total. Full rewire of a 1,500 sq ft home: $3,600 materials + $7,400 labor + $500 permit = $11,500.
