How much does it cost to upgrade an electrical panel to 200 amps?

Upgrading an electrical panel to 200 amps is priced only after an on-site load calculation and scope review because the total depends on more than the panel itself. The largest cost driver is usually extra work beyond the box, such as service equipment changes and code-required corrections. Our process includes a full load audit, proper grounding and bonding, and utility coordination to ensure a clean changeover. Our licensed electricians handle these details routinely in the Grant area. If your existing panel is safe and has capacity, repair or a subpanel can be more economical; if you’re adding an EV charger, heat pump, or seeing frequent breaker trips or hot spots, a 200A upgrade often makes practical sense.

Cost drivers we verify during the visit:

• Service meter upgrades and utility-side compatibility
• Service conductors and required grounding/bonding updates
• Code-required breaker/protection changes (AFCI/GFCI) and surge protection integration
• Added scope: EV Level 2 readiness, generator transfer switch, rewiring, or a smart panel option

Schedule a professional load calculation and safety inspection to confirm scope before setting a budget.
