Electrical Panel Installation

The electricians in our network handle the full job: load calculations, main panel replacements, service amperage upgrades, sub panel installs, breaker work, permitting, and final inspection. You get matched with a licensed local pro who takes your panel from assessment to a code-compliant finish.

Panel work involves your home's main service connection and live utility power, so this is a job for a licensed electrician, not a DIY project. A pro pulls the required permit, coordinates the power shutoff, and guarantees the installation passes inspection, which protects both your safety and your home's insurability.

Most panel installations run between $1,300 and $4,000, with the final number driven by the amperage you need, whether it's a straight swap or a service upgrade, and any wiring or permit work involved. Your electrician gives you a clear quote after assessing your current setup, so there are no surprises.
