Electrical problems in a house are of huge concern as they lead to over 51,000 electrical fires a year. Solutions to electrical issues run the gamut from simple, inexpensive fixes to costly, major rewiring. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Northville and Novi neighborhoods and we know that the cost of rewiring a 1,200 sq. ft. home averages over $10,000. Luckily, this is almost never a requirement when selling your house. Even homes built with less-than-safe aluminum wiring during the 1960s and ‘70s are grandfathered into current code and don’t need to be replaced. Chances are any electrical work you’ll need will be on the smaller scale, such as missing wire nuts, open or damaged junction boxes, frayed wiring, and faulty light switches or outlets. These can be fixed by a qualified electrician, which will run you an average of $65 to $85 per hour, plus the cost of materials.

Another costly electrical repair you might run into is if your circuit breaker doesn’t meet the amperage needs of your home. The National Association of Realtors advises 100 amps, however, larger homes may need a 200 amp circuit breaker. Replacing your circuit breaker could cost anywhere from $500 to over $2000.
