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

The cost to upgrade electrical service to 200 amps varies by home and is confirmed after an on-site inspection. The biggest driver is whether you need a full panel replacement or only a service/meter upgrade. Our electricians focus on safety, capacity, and code compliance to size the service correctly for your actual load. We handle these upgrades throughout our Northern Virginia service area, including homes near Paris. We offer free estimates for new electrical panels.

Key items that influence price:

• New main panel versus reusing location and components
• Service entrance wiring and grounding upgrades
• Required AFCI/GFCI additions to meet current standards
• Overhead vs. underground service work and meter/base changes
• Options like whole-home surge protection or a smart electrical panel

Schedule an evaluation so a technician can measure load, inspect the service, and provide a firm price in writing.
