Mobile homes built before the mid-1990s often rely on aluminum branch circuits and two-wire receptacles that struggle to support today’s appliance loads. Rewiring eliminates safety hazards, brings the property up to current code, and increases resale value—but what does it cost? CountBricks analyzes thousands of residential projects each year through AI voice capture and blueprint takeoffs, giving us a precise, real-time view of electrical pricing. Below we break down the typical cost to rewire a mobile home and show how CountBricks keeps budgets predictable.
$5,800 – $11,200 for a single-wide (600-1,000 sq ft)
$9,900 – $17,500 for a double-wide (1,000-1,800 sq ft)
Totals include demolition of old cabling, new copper conductors, devices, AFCI/GFCI breakers, and a service panel upgrade. Labor represents roughly 55 % of the bill; materials 35 %; permits and inspections 10 %.
• Size and layout of the mobile home (linear feet of wall cavity and attic chase)
• Existing crawl-space or skirting accessibility
• Condition of the sub-panel and main service disconnect
• Local code amendments requiring AFCI breakers or tamper-resistant outlets
• Occupied vs. vacant status—furniture moves add labor hours
• Regional labor rates and material surcharges
Traditional contractors still walk the site with a clipboard, then disappear for days to “run the numbers.” CountBricks does it in minutes.
1. You describe the project in plain language; our voice AI converts it into a detailed scope.
2. CountBricks cross-references live electrical material pricing, labor productivity tables, and San Antonio permit fees.
3. A line-item estimate—complete with tasks, quantities, and unit costs—appears on your screen before the job walk ends.

• Copper THHN conductors and NM-B cable: 25 % of total
• Devices, plates, and fittings: 5 %
• 200-amp service panel and breakers: 10 %
• Labor to fish walls, attic runs, terminations: 55 %
• Permit, inspection, and disposal fees: 5 %
• Water-damaged insulation requiring replacement
• Asbestos-containing wall panels in pre-1980 units
• Undersized service entrance conductors needing utility coordination
• Drywall repair and paint touch-ups after wire fishing
• Schedule the rewire when the home is vacant to reduce labor by 10-15 %
• Combine with HVAC or plumbing upgrades to share permit costs
• Choose tamper-resistant receptacles with built-in USB ports to avoid separate chargers
• Let CountBricks bulk-purchase copper to lock in pricing before market spikes
1. Instant AI estimate (same day)
2. Permit filing and utility notifications: 3-5 business days
3. Rough-in demolition and cable pull: 2-4 days for single-wide; 4-6 days for double-wide
4. Inspection and close-in: 1 day
5. Device trim-out and final test: 1–2 days
Total project duration: 1–2 weeks, depending on size and inspection schedule.
• AFCI protection reduces arc-fault fire risk by up to 50 %
• Copper conductors lower voltage drop, extending appliance life
• Dedicated circuits for HVAC and kitchen prevent nuisance breaker trips
• Grounded receptacles safeguard sensitive electronics
CountBricks partners with lenders offering six-month, zero-interest plans on qualifying rewires. Mobile home owners may also receive utility rebates for replacing aluminum branch circuits—our portal auto-files the paperwork.
Use your phone or laptop microphone, describe your mobile home’s age and square footage, and CountBricks produces a full electrical takeoff in under five minutes. No waiting, no hidden fees, just data-backed pricing you can trust. Start today at CountBricks.com/services.
Can I live in the home during the rewire?
Yes, but expect short power outages during panel changeovers. CountBricks phases circuits so essential loads are restored nightly.
Will you patch drywall?
Minor drywall cuts are included. Full-surface repainting can be added as a line item through our estimate configurator.
Is copper the only option?
Copper is code-preferred for branch circuits. Aluminum alloy feeders may be acceptable for service conductors; CountBricks confirms with the local authority.

CountBricks recently completed a full electrical overhaul on a 1,450 sq ft double-wide built in 1984. The owner planned to rent the property but failed the initial city inspection due to aluminum branch circuits and a 100-amp panel.
• Owner described “replace all wiring, new panel, outlets, and lights.”
• Our AI translated that sentence into 38 tasks, from AFCI breaker installation to smoke-alarm interconnection, in 47 seconds.
• 3,200 linear feet of 12-2 NM-B cable
• 78 receptacles and 22 LED fixtures
• 200-amp load center with 30 spaces
Realtime copper pricing locked at $4.17 per pound, saving the client $412 compared to market rates a week later.
1. Permit approved in 4 days
2. Rough-in completed in 5 days with a three-person crew
3. Passed inspection on first attempt
4. Trim-out and testing finished within 2 additional days
Total invoice: $15,280, 6 % under the initial AI estimate thanks to on-site efficiencies. The property now commands an extra $125 per month in rent and carries a five-year CountBricks workmanship warranty.
• Plan rewire projects during spring or fall to avoid extreme attic temperatures and reduce labor fatigue.
• Photograph wall openings before close-up; future service calls become simpler and faster.
• Upgrade to combination AFCI/GFCI breakers in kitchens and laundries—insurance providers often offer premium discounts.
