Electrical Panel Upgrade Cost Calculator
2026 U.S. panel and service upgrade ranges reflect like-for-like swaps versus 200-amp or meter/mast work. Amperage is a sizing proxy. Utility coordination and region strongly affect schedule and price. Service panel replacement or amperage upgrade (often 100A to 200A) with grounding updates. Utility coordination and permit fees vary by market.

Methodology & estimate disclaimer
2026 U.S. panel and service upgrade ranges reflect like-for-like swaps versus 200-amp or meter/mast work. Amperage is a sizing proxy. Utility coordination and region strongly affect schedule and price.
Actual costs vary by location, home condition, material availability, permits, and project complexity. Read our methodology, the national cost bands table, editorial policy, and disclaimer. Planning provenance uses internal model notes (not invented third-party citations)—see the bands page for published low/typical/high frames.
