How much does it cost to upgrade electrical service to 200 amps?
Upgrading electrical service to 200 amps typically costs $2,000 to $4,000 for most homes. The range depends most on the condition of your current service and the scope of work needed. Most projects finish in one to two days, and in North Carolina permits and inspections are required; we handle utility coordination, permitting, and inspections for you. Final pricing is confirmed after an on-site assessment. Our team routinely completes 200‑amp upgrades for homeowners in the Lillington area. Financing is available on approved credit.
Key factors that influence price include:
- Replacing the main panel and meter equipment versus reusing components
- Upgrading service entrance wiring, mast, or meter base to meet code
- Correcting grounding/bonding and adding required disconnects
- Relocating equipment or addressing utility-side requirements
Never attempt a service upgrade yourself, as it involves live utility equipment and specialized permitting.
