Cost of home wiring???

Have a line on a cheap bungalow along the Cabot Trail. There was a house fire some years back and it went to a tax sale. Structurally it's good, but all the electrical needs redoing (the panel was trashed in the fire, but the wiring was super old regardless) Wondering what a ball park estimate would be for the following:

1. Reconnect to power (there's no longer meter on the house, but it is right next to a pole).
2. Put in a new panel, either 100 or 200 amp
3. Very basic household wiring: place is open concept, about 1000 square feet, two levels, one room on lower, open space plus bathroom on upper. Would like to brew, plus oven, so probably two 50 amp plugs downstairs, plus assorted lights and basic electric outlets on both levels. (The house will be down to studs, more or less.)

Likely best to get a few rough quotes.

Yeah. Was just wondering whether any of the electrical people on here might be able to very roughly ballpark it. :)

Entrance alone will be about $2200, that'll get you a basic panel.

Go 200A, no question. Adds a few hundred, maybe $500 or $600, to total.
Other than that, permits, work, inspections, NSP doing their shit, I would think $6k is a ball park. That could be the little league park or Yankee Stadium, not sure.
Assume it is gutted and you aren't asking an electrician to snake wires.
Also have everything old already pulled, you don't want to pay an electrician to do that.
My thoughts anyway. Good luck.

6k as swine had said would be a starting point depending on square footage and what else has to be done also you have to factor in depending on where abouts on the Cabot trail you will have to pay travel time or accomations..which wouldn't be factored into the cost or could be if you where given a flat Rate
