Excited about a query when given a change of address (8)

I believe the answer is:

rehoused

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'given a change of address' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'excited about a query' is the wordplay.
'excited' becomes 'roused' (rouse can mean to excite).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'a query' becomes 'eh' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'roused' enclosing 'eh' is 'REHOUSED'.

'when' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rehoused that I've seen before include "Put in new place" , "given new home" , "put in new shed?" .)
