Electrical Panel Upgrade Cost Calculator
Separate a simple panel replacement from a larger service upgrade. Use quote line items rather than a single national-average price so the budget reflects whether the job is only replacing the load center or changing the utility service as well.
Panel vs service upgrade
A quote may cover only the load center or also service conductors, meter equipment, utility work and grounding. Capacity changes can also trigger permits, utility coordination, grounding and bonding corrections, surge protection, feeder changes or relocation work, so compare the included scope before comparing the final price.
