This is a typical range, not a quote. The sections below explain what moves the price for this job. The dot marks the middle price, and a + means some businesses charge more.
What the job involves
A panel replacement takes out the panel you have and puts in a new one of similar size. Each circuit moves to a breaker in the new panel, and a new directory labels what each breaker feeds.
The reason is usually the old panel's condition, such as rust, heat damage, breakers that fail or a design an electrician no longer trusts, and not a need for more power. Panel upgrade is the closer fit when you want a bigger panel with more circuit spaces, and a 200 amp service upgrade is closer when you need more power and the meter and incoming wires have to change too.
In a replacement, the service wires from the utility and the meter base usually stay as they are.
What's usually included
- Taking out the old panel and its breakers
- Mounting the new panel and connecting each circuit
- Labeling the new breakers
- Testing the circuits before the cover goes back on
What moves the price
- Reason for replacing it
- A panel replaced because something failed can come with damaged parts to fix, while one replaced before trouble starts is a cleaner job. Ask the electrician what they found in yours.
- Same size or larger
- Some electricians suggest a larger panel while the old one is out. That adds cost now, but it can save opening the wall again when you add circuits later.
- Reusing or replacing breakers
- Old breakers often cannot go into a new panel, because breakers are listed for specific panels. Ask whether any of yours can be reused.
- Tracing and labeling circuits
- If the old labels are missing or wrong, the electrician has to trace each circuit to its breaker, which takes time. A map of what each breaker feeds is part of the finished panel.
