What Size Electrical Panel Is Best for Your Home?

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.

When To Upgrade an Electrical Panel

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

Factors Affecting the Cost To Upgrade an Electrical Panel

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.

How To Save on Electrical Panel Costs

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.

Pros and Cons of Upgrading Electrical Panels

Pros

Increases power output and efficiency within your home

Protects against electrical fires

Increases your home’s resale value

Cons

Is expensive

May be disruptive

DIY vs. Professional Electrical Panel Installation

There’s a reason electricians must be trained and licensed: Working with household electrical systems can be dangerous or create hazardous conditions. Upgrading or replacing your electrical panel isn’t a job you can do yourself. According to the National Fire Protection Association, an average of 46,700 house fires are caused by faulty electrical wiring every year. Electrical work is best performed by those who are trained in the correct electrical codes and should always be inspected.

Igor was so fast, efficient, thorough, and professional! He arrived on time and went straight to work. Honestly, I had to scramble to find additional tasks for him because there was a 2 hour minimum and he worked so quickly. I only wish I had been prepared for a few other projects I have coming up because I have no doubt he would have knocked them out in no time! I was astonished by all the little projects he was able to accomplish for us in the span of 3 hours. Highly recommend!

We used them before to have some cabinets removed in our garage. We asked them to return and put two of them back up. They consistently do professional work. They arrived on time and worked quickly. Would definitely request them again.

Lurii is amazing! He’s done 3 projects at my house over the course of the week. Each time, he’s done the job impeccably. He is super knowledgeable, doesn’t use cheap materials, and goes above and beyond to do a great job. I’ll definitely be using Proper Hour Home Service for future plumbing needs.

Alex came on time and aligned the door. I also requested him to check a couple of additional doors which he did after consulting his company. The quote for additional work was done quickly over the phone. I have been using Proper handyman Services for all our handyman needs. They are reliable and provide appointments quickly. I would use their service again.

I hired them to repair a hole in my ceiling caused by an upstairs neighbors leak. They responded quickly and professionally, and offered a fair price. Once they got to my home, they worked quickly and to the highest quality! There was a previous repair in that area from a prior owner that was subpar, and they reinforced the area to make it more durable than it ever was! I very much appreciated having someone I can trust to care about the quality of their work, rather than just doing the minimum!I will be calling them first for any general home construction/contracting work!

I requested an installation service for a set of sliding closet doors. Proper Hour was the first to respond, and provided a great value for the price by bundling both installation and disposal into one fee.Viktor was the handyman who installed the doors for me. He arrived on time, nicely adapted to a small challenge with the measurements and provided a good service overall.

They were very quick to respond to my request. I was offered same day service which was a bonus (but I decided to book following day). Handyman was on time and extremely professional. I will absolutely use them again for other projects. Another bonus was the price charged was what same price they quoted me which was nice.

Excellent and efficient service! Helped with miscellaneous tasks including wall hanging, fixing cabinet doors, bed frame, etc.Punctual appointment setup and visit, satisfied with all the outcomes.Definitely plan to reach out in the future!

Excellent work remodeling my bathroom. I absolutely love it!Vadim and his partner removed the baseboards and retiled the bathroom floor, fixing an underlying dry rot problem, added a new toilet and vanity.It's was difficult due to the old fixtures and parts in the bathroom. They persevered and did a fantastic job. They worked very hard, with great attention to detail and professionalism. I could not recommend them more highly for any bathroom remodel project!

Proper Hour Handyman did a wonderful job repairing three broken tracks for drawers that we had (one in the kitchen and two in the master bathroom). They were also the ONLY service who gave me the best & lowest price!We would absolutely use this service again!

The team helped in remodelling our garage - electrical, insulation, new garage door installation. They did a great job with the work. And our garage looks like brand new.

The guy who did the work was great, no complaints. However, you should make sure the company quotes you by hours or by project. I was sent a price estimate by hour and quote for 4 hours. The project took 2.5 hours and they claimed the quote was fixed, making their price more than 1.5 higher than the price estimate. Edit: the company reached out to offer a refund for the difference in estimation. I am happy with the solution and the effort.
