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 and load analysis. The biggest cost drivers are the scope of panel work, required safety/code updates, and the condition of your existing service equipment.

Our licensed master electricians handle these upgrades throughout the Triangle, including homes around Holly Springs. Free install estimates and $500 off panel upgrades are available.

When we price a 200‑amp upgrade, we look for:

• Main panel replacement or relocation
• Service entrance, meter base, and grounding upgrades
• Load calculation results that require new circuits or AFCI/GFCI protection
• Surge protection or generator/EV charger integration
• Wall repairs and coordination tied to code compliance and permitting

Schedule a licensed evaluation before planning new appliances or EV charging so you get the right capacity and an accurate price.
