How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in the St. Louis area?

The cost of an electrical panel upgrade depends on the size of your existing service, the new panel capacity, permit requirements, and whether additional wiring or code upgrades are needed. Homes requiring service entrance upgrades or meter replacements may involve a larger investment than a straightforward panel replacement. The best way to determine pricing is with an on-site evaluation of your home's electrical system.

What factors affect the cost of an electrical panel upgrade?

Several factors influence the cost of an electrical panel upgrade, including the size of the new service, the condition of the existing electrical system, permit requirements, utility coordination, accessibility, and whether additional circuits or code-compliant upgrades are needed. Every home is different, so pricing is based on the specific requirements of the project.
