Panel formula

Total cost = panel + labor + upgrade

Electrical panel replacement has three costs: the panel and breakers, the electrician's labor, and any service upgrade or wiring fixes needed to bring the system to code.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

An $800 panel with $600 labor and $300 in extras gives a total of about $1,700.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

When should I replace my panel?

Flickering lights, tripping breakers, a 60-amp service or an old fuse box all signal it's time.

Do I need a permit?

Most jurisdictions require a permit and inspection for panel work. Your electrician handles it.

How long does it take?

A panel swap usually takes 4-8 hours; a service upgrade can take a full day or two.
