The cost to upgrade an electrical panel ranges from $2212.50 to $5237.50 per installation. The price varies based on the panel amperage (100A to 400A), brand quality, number of circuits needed, permit requirements, and whether the service entrance cable needs replacement. Additional costs may apply if the upgrade requires relocating the panel or extensive rewiring.
Panel, breakers, and installation
The listed scope includes the panel, breakers and supplies, electrician labor, old-panel removal, and permit and inspection allowances. Confirm the panel capacity, circuit count, brand, and whether smart features are part of the selection.
Service cable and panel location
Service entrance cable replacement is an optional item. A change in panel location or extensive rewiring needs its own scope check rather than being assumed within a standard panel replacement.
Confirm the complete upgrade scope
Have the electrician confirm the service connection, affected circuits, utility coordination, and inspection needs. Review the permit and inspection allowance for the actual job without treating the calculator as a statement of local requirements.
