Electrical Panel Replacement FAQs
Replacing your electrical panel is a big step toward a safer, more efficient home, but it often comes with a lot of questions. We’ve compiled some of the most common ones homeowners ask when considering an upgrade. These quick answers can help you feel more informed and confident as you plan your next electrical project.
The cost of replacing an electrical panel typically ranges from $1,500 to $3,000, depending on the size of the panel and the complexity of the job. Factors like adding circuits, upgrading service capacity, or relocating the panel can increase the price.
We provide upfront quotes based on your specific needs—no guesswork, no surprises. It’s a valuable investment in safety and long-term performance.
Most modern homes need at least a 200-amp panel, especially if you have high-powered appliances, HVAC systems, or plan to install an EV charger. Smaller homes with basic needs may still get by with 100 amps, but future upgrades could be limited.
We’ll evaluate your current usage and any planned additions to recommend the right panel size. Oversizing slightly can future-proof your system.
If your existing wiring is in good condition and meets current safety codes, a panel upgrade may not require a full rewire. However, in older homes with outdated or damaged wiring, we may recommend replacing certain circuits during the upgrade.
