Residential electrical services

100A to 200A electrical service upgrade

When the calculated household demand exceeds the existing supply, changing the service capacity is a different project from replacing the breaker panel in place.

When this work makes sense

  • Several new high-demand appliances
  • A major addition or electrification plan
  • An assessment that identifies insufficient supply

The electrical work

Increase service capacity with a new panel, meter equipment, service conductors and grounding as needed.

Typical accessible overhead service. Utility charges and major relocation excluded.

Estimated pricing

$4,950–$9,000 per project

Project ranges include labor and standard installation materials unless a listing says otherwise. Hourly rates are labor only, and equipment you supply (such as chargers, fixtures or fans) is not included. Permit fees and sales tax are additional. Estimates are free, including on-site visits.

Electrical work may require openings in walls or ceilings. Drywall patching, texture, and painting are not included and must be arranged with others.

What affects the scope and cost

  • Utility design and service route
  • Meter and grounding conditions
  • Selected loads and equipment

A common question

Will a panel marked 200A mean I already have 200A service?

Not necessarily. A panel rating is not proof of the service supply rating. True reviews the service equipment and utility requirements before recommending a capacity change.
