Electrical Panel Relocation
Quick answer
Moving an electrical panel, for a remodel, addition, or code clearance, costs $1,500–$4,000+ depending on distance and circuit count. We handle rerouting, permits, and utility coordination.Typical installed cost: $1,500–$4,000
Panels get relocated for good reasons: a kitchen remodel wants that wall, code requires working clearance the current spot can't give, or a finished basement buries it illegally behind shelving. We move the panel and re-route every circuit cleanly.
About Electrical Panel Relocation
Panels end up in the wrong place for lots of reasons, remodels that want the wall, additions that buried them, code clearances that no longer pass, or simply a location (bathroom, closet, behind the water heater) that modern code prohibits.
Relocation means moving the service point and re-routing every branch circuit to reach it, via a properly installed junction enclosure or extended runs. It's exacting work that we plan circuit-by-circuit before touching anything.
Common relocation triggers
- Kitchen/bath remodel claiming the panel wall
- Code working-clearance violations (36" depth, 30" width)
- Panels in prohibited locations, closets, bathrooms
- Basement finishing that would enclose the panel
- Outdoor relocation for utility access requirements
Planning tip: relocation pairs beautifully with upgrades
If your panel needs to move, the marginal cost of also upgrading it is at its lifetime low, the circuits are already being re-terminated, the permit is already open, and the inspector is already coming. Moving an aging 100A panel as-is and upgrading it two years later means paying the big labor twice.
The same logic applies in reverse during remodels: if the panel wall is in your renovation plans at all, involve the electrician at design stage. Relocation routed through open framing during construction costs dramatically less than the same move after drywall, and the panel lands exactly where code clearances and daily convenience want it.

No, code prohibits panels in bathrooms and clothes closets and requires clear working space. Relocation is the fix for a non-compliant location.
Distance and circuit count: every existing circuit must reach the new location, via splice box or extended runs. A move of a few feet costs far less than across the house.
That's the ideal time, walls are open, routing is easy, and the inspection folds into the remodel's schedule. Tell your GC to call us early.
