How much does it cost to upgrade an electrical panel to 200 amps?

Upgrading to a 200-amp electrical panel is priced after an on-site assessment, because total cost depends on the scope of the service upgrade and code requirements. The biggest cost drivers are whether your home needs a full service upgrade (meter, service mast, grounding) and the level of permitting and utility coordination.

We start with a home electrical assessment, then give you a clear, upfront plan; panel work typically requires permits and inspections, which we manage, and we complete final safety checks before restoring power. We handle this work routinely for homes across the Sanford area and align the design to how you actually use power. A technician insight: the mix of AFCI/GFCI breakers often shifts the price more than the panel hardware itself.

Key factors that influence price:

• Service upgrade vs. panel-only change-out
• Panel location, meter/main configuration, and grounding/bonding updates
• AFCI/GFCI breaker count and any whole-home surge protection
• Trenching or conduit changes, utility clearance, and inspection fees

Ask for a load calculation and a written scope so quotes are comparable.
