Electrical Panel Upgrade cost by city
Upgrading an electrical panel boosts your home's capacity for modern loads like EV chargers, heat pumps, and additions. Cost depends on the new amperage and whether the service entrance also needs work.
Nationally this runs about $2,000–$4,000 to upgrade to 200-amp service. Pick your city for a local 2026 estimate.
