Answers to Common Questions
View All FAQsHow much does it cost to upgrade electrical service to 200 amps?
Upgrading electrical service to 200 amps is priced only after an on-site evaluation because the scope varies by home. The biggest cost drivers are the new 200‑amp panel and service equipment, the condition of your service entry, and any code updates needed for safety. Utility coordination and the path from meter to panel can add labor. A tidy, accessible meter location with proper grounding can shave hours from the job. Our licensed electricians handle these upgrades for homeowners throughout the Watertown area.
Specific factors that change price:
- Distance and obstacles between meter and panel
- Mast, meter socket, or service-entrance conductor upgrades
- Required AFCI/GFCI breakers, grounding/bonding, or panel relocation
- Add-ons like EV‑charger readiness, whole‑house surge protection, or generator interlock
