200 Amp Service Upgrade
Quick answer
A 200-amp service upgrade costs $1,500–$4,000 installed and is the modern standard for homes adding EV chargers, batteries, or heat pumps. Includes new panel, permit, utility coordination, and inspection.Typical installed cost: $1,500–$4,000
200 amps is the sweet spot for the electrified home: roughly double a 100-amp service, enough for EV charging, a battery, and modern appliances with headroom to spare. We handle the panel, the service entrance, the utility, and the inspection.
About 200 Amp Service Upgrade
The 200-amp upgrade is the single most common electrical project in American homes right now, and for one reason: electrification. An EV charger wants 40–60 amps. A heat pump, an induction range, a battery, each one asks a 100-amp panel for capacity it doesn't have. 200 amps solves all of it at once.
Our upgrade is complete: the new 200A panel with copper bus and modern AFCI/GFCI breakers, service-entrance work as needed, the utility disconnect/reconnect, permit, and inspection. One day of work, decades of headroom.
What's included
- 200-amp main panel from a major brand, full breaker complement
- Load calculation and circuit mapping/labeling
- Service-entrance and grounding updates to current code
- Utility coordination, permit, and final inspection
Time it with your next project
The cheapest 200-amp upgrade is the one bundled with the project that triggered it: doing panel + EV charger or panel + battery in one mobilization saves real money. The 25C federal credit expired after December 31, 2025; income-qualified households (under 150% of Area Median Income) may instead access the IRA Home Energy Rebates, up to $4,000 toward a panel, where their state program is live.
