Rewire cost check

What will your rewire cost?

Six quick taps. You see our price range for your home and whether it sounds like a full rewire, a partial one, a new fuse board or an inspection first. Want a written price? One Safe Electric registered electrician who covers your county rings you.

Step 1 of 7

What kind of home is it?

Pick the closest.

How many bedrooms?

Size is the biggest thing in the price.

When was it built, or last rewired?

A rough guess is fine. The age of the wiring matters more than the age of the house.

Do you see any of these?

Tick all that apply.

The whole house, or part of it?

A partial rewire only makes sense when the rest is sound.

Will you be living in it during the work?

An empty house is quicker and costs less.

Our price range

€7,000 to €14,500

A full rewire of a 3-bed house: new cables, a new fuse board, testing and the Safe Electric certificate.

Answer the six questionsYou'll see whether it sounds like a full rewire, a partial one, a new fuse board or an inspection first.
  • About 4 to 10 days on site for a 3-bed house.
  • A new fuse board on its own: €350 to €1,400.
  • An inspection and report: €150 to €350.
  • A guide, not a quote. The written price comes after the electrician has seen and tested the house.

Get a written price

Only your county and phone number are needed. Your answers go with it, so the electrician knows the job before ringing.

Free, no obligation. One electrician, not a list. Nothing is booked until you say yes.

Rewiring Ireland (rewiring.ie) is an independent guide to house rewiring in Ireland: what it costs, when a house needs it, and what the law says about who can do it. It's run by Bartlomiej Standa, trading as Elevate Ireland.

How a request works

  1. You do the Rewire cost check and, if you want a written price, leave your county and number.
  2. We pass your request and your answers to one Safe Electric registered electrician who covers your county. Not a list.
  3. They ring you, look at the house, test what's there and give you a written price. Nothing is booked until you say yes.

We don't do electrical work, and we're not Safe Electric, the regulator or a government body. The electrician you deal with is responsible for their work and their certificate.

Who we pass requests to

What we look for: a Registered Electrical Contractor on the Safe Electric register, who does house rewiring and covers your county. You can look up any electrician's registration at safeelectric.ie.

Where the figures come from

Our price guide is built from what Irish electricians charge for the work in 2026, merged into honest ranges. Housing figures are from the CSO's Census 2022. Rules and grants are from Safe Electric, the Commission for Regulation of Utilities, ESB Networks, Revenue, the Irish Statute Book and gov.ie, and are linked where we state them.
