> Depending on your house layout, you might basically need to gut your entire house just to rewire a single appliance.

This is simply not true. Any decent electrician will be able to fish the lines with a few strategically placed small holes.

There's no way you can say this without seeing the house, existence of a crawlspace, etc. Low gauge wires are thick, stiff and notoriously difficult to snake.

I do agree though that the average house would not require gutting to wire an appliance.
