If you live in an older home in the 805 and are starting to notice flickering lighting, tripped breakers, outdated outlets, or overloaded panels, it might be time to consider a full-home rewire. But one of the biggest questions homeowners ask is: How much does it cost to rewire a house in Thousand Oaks or nearby cities?

At Klein Electric 805, your trusted electrician near me, we’re breaking it down for you—costs, factors, what’s involved, and why rewiring can be a smart investment in both safety and property value.

💸 Average Cost to Rewire a Home in the 805

The cost to rewire a house depends on several factors like square footage, accessibility, existing wiring condition, and whether the walls are open or finished.

Here’s a rough breakdown:

• 1,000–1,500 sq ft home: $8,000–$13,000

• 1,500–2,500 sq ft home: $12,000–$20,000

• Larger homes (2,500+ sq ft): $18,000 and up

These prices typically include:

• New wiring

• Outlets, switches, and updated panels

• Modern lighting and equipment wiring

• GFCI protection in wet areas

• Labor and materials

• City permits and inspections

If your home is in Agoura Hills, Westlake Village, Ventura, or Camarillo, permitting and inspection costs can vary slightly based on the city’s building department.

⚠️ Signs You Might Need to Rewire

If you're unsure whether a full rewire is necessary, here are a few red flags to watch for:

• Outlets or switches are warm to the touch

• Flickering or dimming lighting

• Frequent tripping of breakers

• Buzzing or burning smells near appliances or panels

• Homes built before the 1980s with outdated aluminum wiring or knob-and-tube systems

Live in an older home in Simi Valley, Oak Park, or Newbury Park? You’re more likely to need a rewiring for safety, insurance compliance, and support for modern power usage—especially with EV chargers becoming more common.

🔌 Add-On Costs to Consider

When rewiring your home, you might also want to consider these upgrades:

• Panel upgrade (to 200 amps): +$2,000–$3,500

• EV charger or electric vehicle charger circuit: +$900–$2,500

• Smart switches or dimmers: +$75–$200 each

• Recessed lighting installations: +$150–$300 per fixture

• Surge protection or whole-home backup systems

We offer bundled pricing for remodels, whole-home upgrades, and multi-service installations.

🧰 The Rewiring Process: What to Expect

1. Initial Inspection and Quote

2. Permitting with your city (e.g., Oxnard, Moorpark, etc.)

3. Safe removal of old wiring

4. Running new cables, installing new panels, outlets, and switches
