How much does it cost to upgrade electrical service to 200 amps?

Upgrading electrical service to 200 amps is priced after an on-site evaluation, and we provide a written, upfront quote before any work begins. Most of the cost typically comes from replacing the main panel and service equipment and bringing grounding and wiring up to current code. If the existing gear is sound, a targeted repair or partial upgrade may be more cost-effective than a full service change. Our licensed electricians regularly complete 200-amp upgrades in the Durham area, coordinating with the utility and handling permits when required. We also honor a current coupon: $200 OFF a main electrical panel upgrade (standard terms; expires 2026-03-04).

Key price factors we check on site:

• Panel brand/condition and available breaker space
• Meter/service mast location and utility coordination needs
• Required grounding/bonding updates and AFCI/GFCI additions
• Feeder length, conduit or wire type, and any relocation or trenching

If you notice a hot panel, humming, or a burning smell, shut off power if safe and call a licensed electrician immediately.
