The biggest factor is the scope of the project—swapping out a basic outlet is a quick task, while rewiring a room or upgrading an old panel requires much more labor and time. The age of your home also plays a role, as older wiring often needs extra care to meet current safety standards. Parts and material quality also change the total cost.
