New Construction Electrical Wiring Costs (2026 Guide)

Building a custom home in Statesville requires precision, planning, and a licensed electrical contractor who understands modern code, energy demands, and luxury home expectations.

At Kolpin Electric, we specialize in new construction residential wiring — delivering clean, code-compliant, future-ready electrical systems for custom homes throughout North Carolina.

If you're asking:

“What does it cost to wire a new house in Statesville, Mooresville, Troutman and the surrounding areas in NC?”

Here’s what you need to know.

Average Cost to Wire a New Construction Home 

New construction electrical wiring typically ranges between:

• $10,000 – $18,000 → 1,200–1,500 sq ft
• $14,000 – $30,000 → 1,800–2,500 sq ft
• $24,000 – $36,000+ → 3,000+ sq ft or luxury builds

Final pricing depends on layout, electrical load, and custom features.

For high-end homes, costs may increase based on:

• Dedicated circuits for appliances
• EV charger rough-ins
• Generator interlock systems
• Custom lighting plans
• Whole-home surge protection
• Upgraded service panels (200–400      amp)

We provide detailed builder-grade and premium wiring packages depending on project scope.

 What Impacts New Construction Wiring Costs?

1️⃣ Square Footage & Layout Complexity

Open-concept homes with large kitchens, workshops, or finished basements require additional circuits and planning.

2️⃣ Electrical Panel Capacity

Modern homes demand more power than ever before. Many custom builds now require:

• 200-amp minimum service
• 320/400-amp service for larger      estates
• EV-ready infrastructure

3️⃣ Lighting Design

Recessed lighting, under-cabinet LEDs, and exterior architectural lighting, increase both labor and material costs.

4️⃣ Code & Inspection Requirements

All new construction wiring must comply with current NEC standards as adopted in North Carolina.

Kolpin Electric ensures:

• Proper permitting
• Inspection scheduling
• Clean rough-in and trim-out      phases
• Final approval without delays
