Electrical Panel Replacement Cost Calculator

Estimate electrical panel replacement or service upgrade cost based on amperage, panel scope, circuit count, access, code corrections, and regional labor.

Example planning estimate

$4,232–$7,142 with a typical project estimate of $5,290.

Estimated cost per unit: $220 per circuits.

Example cost breakdown

Planning allocation for the example above; contractor quotes may allocate these items differently.

  • Labor: $2,433
  • Materials: $1,587
  • Permits and disposal: $529
  • Access and contingency: $741

Example scenarios

  • Smaller scope: $3,867–$6,526
  • Typical scope: $4,232–$7,142
  • Complex scope: $15,860–$26,764

Estimate inputs

  • Target service or panel size
  • Project scope
  • Circuits to label or reconnect (circuits)
  • Panel and meter access
  • Code correction allowance
  • Regional labor market

Estimated cost = panel/service base + circuit and correction allowances, adjusted for access and regional labor.

How to use this result

This tool provides a planning range, not a contractor bid. Confirm labor, materials, permits, disposal, cleanup, and any hidden-damage allowances in writing before comparing quotes.
