At High Voltage Electrical, we pride ourselves on providing dependable, affordable high-quality electrical services with NO HIDDEN FEES. The typical cost to upgrade an electrical panel can vary based on your home’s specific needs, but we offer transparent starting points for your budget.
Our Electric Panel Upgrades start at $1,000, with additional city permits typically beginning at approximately $150. While these are our starting rates, the total investment for a professional upgrade generally ranges from $2,000 to $5,000 plus permit fees.
Several factors influence the final cost of your project, including:
- Amperage Requirements: Moving from a 100-amp service to a 200-amp panel to accommodate modern appliances and EV Charger Installation.
- Code Compliance: The 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC) requires AFCI and GFCI protection in various areas like kitchens and laundry rooms, which can add $320 to $800 for a full 40-circuit panel.
- Existing Equipment: Replacing legacy panels, such as Federal Pacific or Zinsco, is a mandatory safety step that may impact the total price.
- Service Location: Permit fees and specific requirements, such as wind-load specifications in certain Florida counties, vary by locality.
Safety is our #1 priority, and every project begins with a thorough load evaluation by our fully trained technicians. We manage the entire process, including permit coordination and utility shut-offs, and back all work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
