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

The cost to upgrade electrical service to 200 amps is finalized after an on-site inspection because each home’s panel, wiring path, and utility setup are different. The largest price swings usually come from replacing the main panel and service equipment and updating grounding and bonding to current standards. Our electricians complete these upgrades around the Roanoke and Salem area, so we tailor the scope to the home rather than forcing a one-size plan. Financing options, including 0% no-interest periods on some jobs, are available if you prefer payments.

If you want a precise quote, key factors we assess include:

• Distance and path from meter to panel, including any trenching or conduit runs for underground feeds.
• Service type (overhead vs. underground) and whether a new meter base or mast is needed.
• Panel location limits that require relocation, drywall repair, or a larger load center.
• Required code-related breaker updates (AFCI/GFCI) and other safety corrections.

Schedule a licensed evaluation first to get accurate pricing and a clear written scope.
