How Much Does an Electrical Panel Upgrade Cost? [2026 Data]
Typical range: $1,200 – $4,000
Electrical panel upgrade costs $1,200–$4,000. Replacing a 100A panel with 200A runs $1,500–$3,000; full service upgrades with new meter base cost $2,500–$4,000.
Permits and inspections add $100–$500. Older homes with fuse boxes or undersized wiring often need full rewiring, which significantly increases cost.
Required for EV chargers, major appliances, and additions. Always hire a licensed electrician—this is not a DIY project.
