I'm doing a re-wiring job, the last guy that wired this house back in 1978, (it was built in 1932), used 14awg to feed a stove & a fridge, yes on the same cct (circuit). The basement is fed off 1 cct for power & it's lighting. Washer dryer is on its same cct.. my question? Is this- What the going rate to run 8 circuits in Colorado? I've asked, searched, to no satisfaction. I've landed up here in hopes you may be able give me a general idea!

There is no way to tell "going rate" How much wire, access, type of wire, holes to drill etc.

Also, you may have to get the service increased to meet minimum code for your area. The NEC Minimum is still 100 amps.

As to the rates, you need to correctly size the full scope of the necessary work. Then determine the supplies you need and determine how much profit you want on the supplies and how much on the labor. There is no scale or prexisting formula for calculating your bid.

If you are an electrical apprentice, why aren'tyour journeyman or master asisting you

Just one additional thought, is this home a Historial Landmark?

Thank you donf... the service is already upgraded. 15 years ago the other electrical contractor tied too much into 1-2 circuits, also, the home owner is purchasing all materials. I'm just providing labor. As far as 'Apprentice' I been doing electrical for 7 years now, this is just my biggest job as of yet. 2 past employers still as of yet need to get back to me on my 'recorded hours (2,600)' bettween the two.

You can always charge byu the hour... that way it's a fair deal for all.
