You might need an upgrade if you're experiencing frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or if your panel feels warm or smells burnt. Other signs include the use of an old fuse box, adding new major appliances, or planning a home renovation. An inspection by a licensed electrician is the best way to know for sure.
A panel upgrade typically refers to increasing the amperage capacity (e.g., from 100 amps to 200 amps), while a replacement may involve swapping out an old or unsafe panel with a newer one of the same capacity. Both improve safety and efficiency, but upgrades support higher electrical loads for modern use.
Costs vary depending on factors like amperage, panel location, wiring complexity, and permit requirements. On average, homeowners can expect to pay between $1,500 and $3,500 for a standard upgrade. We offer free estimates to provide a detailed, accurate quote based on your specific needs.
