How much does it cost to upgrade electrical service to 200 amps?

Upgrading to 200‑amp service is priced after an in‑home inspection because scope varies widely by panel condition, code needs, and location. The biggest cost swing is whether it’s a straight panel replacement or a full service upgrade with relocation and code updates. We check capacity, wiring condition, and safety devices before advising repair, add‑on sub‑panel, or full replacement. Projects often include required protective upgrades and grounding improvements, which change labor and materials. We complete these upgrades throughout Dallas–Fort Worth, including areas near Red Oak. Licensed work is backed by a 5‑year warranty and 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Key factors that affect price and timeline:

• Panel relocation from a code‑violating spot.
• Adding AFCI/GFCI protection and a dedicated service disconnect.
• Required surge protection (2020 NEC) and smoke‑detector updates.
• Grounding/bonding fixes or wiring repairs, including adding a sub‑panel when more circuits are needed.

Book an inspection before budgeting, and if you smell burning or feel excess heat at the panel, shut power and call a pro. <br/> Updated: 2026-05-02 <br/> Need help in Red Oak, TX? Call 469-388-0889 or book online.
