Electrical Panel Installation
A new panel, installed safely and sized for your home from day one.
You’re in good hands. Our team will follow up promptly.
Some properties simply don’t have an electrical panel that can be reasonably upgraded. New additions without existing service, detached structures being converted to livable space, and older panels that have failed outright all call for a new panel installation rather than a capacity upgrade. This page covers that full installation, sized to the property from the start rather than retrofitted around an existing setup.
When a Property Needs a New Panel Installed
- New construction or an addition with no existing electrical service in that section of the property.
- A panel that has failed, corroded, or been damaged (by water, fire, or age) to the point that an upgrade in place isn’t a safe option.
- Converting a detached garage, ADU, or workshop into a space that needs its own dedicated panel.
- A property using a panel brand or type that’s been recalled or flagged as a known fire risk, where in-place upgrading isn’t advisable.
Sizing a New Panel Correctly
A new panel installation is an opportunity to size the service correctly the first time, based on a full power-use check rather than matching whatever was there before. We look at your current appliances, HVAC system, and any near-term plans (EV charging, a workshop, additional living space) before recommending a power capacity.
Electrical Panel Installation Cost
Full panel installation and replacement projects typically start in the range of our “Panel Upgrade with Replacement” pricing tier, from $1,200, though the exact figure depends on whether new service entrance work, additional wire tubing runs, or coordination with your power company are involved. We confirm a firm number on-site rather than quoting from a general range alone. A permit, when required, starts from $150 separately.

Panel Installation vs. Panel Upgrade
If your existing panel works but simply can’t support new demand, see Panel Upgrade instead — it’s usually a faster, less involved project than a full new installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a new panel installation or just an upgrade?
If a working panel just needs more capacity, an upgrade is usually enough. A full installation is for properties with no adequate existing panel, damaged equipment, or new construction. We confirm which situation applies during an on-site evaluation.
How much does electrical panel installation cost?
Full installation and replacement projects typically start around $1,200 per our current pricing guide, with the final number depending on service entrance work, wire tubing runs, and coordination with your power company. We provide an exact quote after evaluating the property.
Can I install a subpanel instead of a full new panel?
Sometimes. If the goal is powering a specific area (a garage, an addition) rather than replacing the main service, Subpanel Installation may be the more appropriate and cost-effective option. We’ll tell you which fits your situation.
Is a permit required for a new panel installation?
Yes, in every jurisdiction we serve. We handle the permit application and inspection scheduling.
