Frequently Asked Questions

• How much does a full house rewire cost?

  As a residential electrical contractor, we often get this question—and the answer depends on several factors. In New York City, the cost to rewire a home typically ranges from $8,000 to $25,000, depending on:

  • Size of the home (square footage)
  • Accessibility of existing wiring
  • Electrical panel and circuit upgrades
  • Type of materials and fixtures
  • Whether walls and ceilings need to be opened and patched

  We always provide a detailed estimate after evaluating your property. At Daven Electric Corp., our pricing is honest, and we work to stay within your budget. As a trusted residential electrician, we never cut corners and always meet code requirements.

  If you’re renovating or dealing with outdated wiring, rewiring is a smart, long-term investment in your home’s safety and functionality. Call us for a quote—we’re happy to walk you through it.

• Does homeowners insurance cover rewiring a house?

  Homeowners insurance typically does not cover proactive Whole-House Rewiring unless it’s related to a claim or fire caused by faulty wiring. However, depending on your provider, there may be exceptions.

  Here’s what to know:

  1. Preventive rewiring (like upgrades or modernization) is usually considered a maintenance cost—not covered.
  2. If damage occurs, such as a fire from old wiring, insurance may cover the rewiring under your policy.
  3. Some insurance providers may reduce premiums if you modernize outdated electrical systems.

  We recommend speaking with your insurance agent. Many of our clients upgrade wiring specifically to meet safety standards and reduce risk, which insurance companies value.

  As a licensed residential electrical contractor, Daven Electric Corp. provides the documentation needed for insurance records and electrical inspections. We can also help you communicate with your provider if required.

• How long does it take to rewire a house?

  At Daven Electric Corp., the timeline for Full Home Rewiring depends on the size and layout of your home. Most residential rewiring projects take between 5 to 10 business days. Here’s a general breakdown:

  • 1,000–1,500 sq ft home: ~5–7 days
  • 1,500–3,000 sq ft home: ~7–10+ days
  • Complex layouts or extensive finish work may add time

  Additional time may be needed for:

  • Electrical inspection scheduling
  • Drywall repair or finishing
  • Installation of new panels, outlets, or circuits

  We always create a project schedule before we begin. As a reliable residential electrician, we do our best to minimize disruption while working quickly and cleanly. If you live in the home during the process, we’ll phase the work room by room so you’re never completely without power.

• Is it possible to rewire a whole house without professional help?

  Technically? It’s possible. Should you attempt it without a licensed residential electrician? Absolutely not.

  Here’s why hiring a professional residential electrical contractor is essential:

  • Electrical work is dangerous. One wrong move can cause fires, injury, or worse.
  • You must meet code. DIY wiring often fails inspections and can void insurance policies.
  • Permits are required. You need to coordinate with local building authorities for approval.
  • Special tools and knowledge are needed for routing wires, connecting panels, and ensuring load balancing.
  • Time and cost overruns are common in DIY rewiring attempts.

  Our electricians handle every detail—permitting, inspections, code compliance, and cleanup—so you don’t have to. Rewiring a home isn’t a weekend project. With Daven Electric Corp., you’ll know your home is in safe, qualified hands from start to finish.
