How Much Does Electrical Panel Upgrade Cost?

Typical national range: $518–$2,192. Source: HomeAdvisor, updated June 17, 2026; last checked September 29, 2026.

Electrical panel upgrade typically costs between $518 and $2,192 in the United States, according to HomeAdvisor's national cost guide (updated June 17, 2026). These are national figures, not Georgia prices and not a quote; a written estimate from a contractor who has seen the job is the only figure to plan on.

What moves the price

  • Panel capacity — moving to 200 amps costs more than a like-for-like swap
  • Whether the service entrance or meter base must also be replaced
  • Utility coordination and permit fees

What to ask before you accept an estimate

  • Is the job a panel swap or a full service upgrade, and does it need the utility?
  • Does the price include the permit and inspection?
  • Will any existing circuits need correcting to pass inspection?

Frequently asked questions

Do Georgia contractors publish electrical panel upgrade prices on Georgia Home Contractors?

No. Contractors quote you directly after you send a project request. The site collects no prices, which is why this page cites HomeAdvisor's national figures instead.
