The cost to upgrade your electrical panel largely depends on how much power your home uses. In a fixed 120/240-volt system, the power needed is determined by the amperage draw of the circuits in your home. Your home’s size and electrical needs—referred to as its electrical load—will determine the best amperage for your new panel. You can find online calculators to help you come up with a ballpark number, but a more specific figure will require an in-home consultation with an electrician.
Since 2015, new homes have been built with at least 200-amp service, which is the standard. If you have a small home or lack large electrical loads like HVAC systems, you can sometimes use a 100-amp panel without problems. It’s unlikely that you’ll need to upgrade to a 400-amp panel unless you have a very large home or run a home business with commercial electrical equipment.
Electrical panels can last anywhere from 25–40 years. That’s a wide range, so look out for these signs to determine when it’s time for a replacement or upgrade:
- Blinking, dimming, or flickering lights
- Frequent need to reset circuit breakers
- Buzzing, sizzling, or cracking sounds coming from outlets
- Need to stop using appliances to use others
- Damage to the panel
- Appliances running at low efficiency
- An existing panel manufactured by Federal Pacific Electric Panel or Zinsco
Below are the factors that determine the total cost to upgrade your electrical panel:
- Panel size: Panel size ranges from 60–400 amps. More amps cost more.
- Installation versus upgrade: It’s more expensive to install an entirely new system than to upgrade an existing panel.
- Other services: You’ll have to pay more if the panel needs relocating or your meter box needs replacing.
While you shouldn’t try to save money by doing the job yourself, you can still cut costs with the following tips.
- Calculate your electrical load: A precise calculation will ensure you don’t pick a larger panel size than you need.
- Get multiple quotes: Request written estimates from at least three local electricians to compare.
- Think long-term: Panel upgrade costs may be steep, but you’ll save money in the long run and get a return on your investment when you sell your home.
