Electrical Panel Upgrade

A typical upgrade replaces the service panel and breakers, and often the meter base and service entrance conductors, then brings grounding and bonding up to current code. The electrician pulls the permit, coordinates the utility shutoff, installs the new equipment, labels every circuit, and schedules the inspection. You end up with more capacity and a panel that's safe to expand.

No. It touches the main service and the utility connection, requires a permit, and has to pass inspection, all of which call for a licensed electrician. Doing it yourself risks shock, fire, a failed inspection, and voided insurance. A vetted pro handles the live work safely and leaves it fully to code.

Cost depends mainly on the target amperage, whether the meter base and service entrance need replacing, and local permit and inspection fees. Most upgrades land between $1,500 and $4,000, with a full 200-amp service replacement toward the top of that range. You'll get a firm quote before the work starts, with no surprises.
