The answer to 'price of panel upgrade' is that the cost can vary widely depending on several factors. Typical ranges for a basic panel upgrade can be anywhere from $800 to $3,000 or more, depending on the size of your home, the complexity of the electrical work required, and your location.
The biggest cost drivers are the size and age of your electrical panel, whether you need to upgrade the main service, and if any rewiring is necessary. Older homes with outdated 100-amp panels may require a complete replacement with a 200-amp panel, which is more expensive. Additionally, the labor costs can vary significantly by region and the electrician's experience level.
