How Much Does an Electrical Panel Upgrade Cost? [2026 Data]

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.
