Had 100A to 200a upgrade
Amount: $1,963.00
Posted by: KarenSue in Oakdale, MN.Posted: February 7th, 2013 05:02AM
Amps: 200Electrician: Kevin~3hrs work.wont use again.
Electrician to put in new meter socket $980.00. Includes (200A meter socket hardware).

Excel energy changed per foot to dig a trench to bury my overhead lines, then there is a $350.00 minimum fee to come out and connect (all happens on same day).

They buried my power lines 72ft distance from pole to house. Total Excel energy cost $808.00

The 200A breaker box was $125, and an extra 100A breaker for the existing panel $50.(didn't let electrician change old 100A fuse box, he was told to send a jumper from 200A to 100A fuse box only.)

Not included in the cost shown above ::
---------------------------------------
I changed the existing 100A fuse box to a 100A breaker box. Took me 5 hours. Glad I didn't let the electrician do it at apparently ($290 per hour). Cost of panel and breakers $200.00. Cost of 5 hours of my time.... priceless.

Electrical Service Upgrade-Main Service Line & Panel
Amount: $2,350.00
Posted by: Al Nice in Piscataway, NJ.Posted: August 12th, 2012 02:08PM
Amps: 200Electrician: 24/7 Electric, LLC
After reviewing electricians on Angieslist.com, I decided to go with a local electrician here in Piscataway. He also had awesome reviews from customers so I felt comfortable in hiring him. We recently had our kitchen redone and noticed whenever we used the microwave with other applianced plugged in at the same time, the power would cut out. I hired Tony from 24/7 Electric and he made few suggestions to us. We decided it was necessary to upgrade our panel box and main service line outside due to old wiring, aluminum acid build up, old circuit breakers, etc. Added a circuit breaker for the microwave. 24/7 Electric went straight to work without any breaks. They never had any problems while working. They were very courtesy and professional. I would hire these guys again for my next project.

Electrical Service Upgrade
Amount: $2,600.00
Posted by: Bobby Coe in Woodbridge, NJ.Posted: June 27th, 2012 11:06AM
Amps: 200Electrician: Citywide Electrical Contracting
After getting several estimates on this project we were referred to this contractor. His pricing was competitive and he included add-ons in the basement to bring the home up to current code. The others never mentioned these requirements. The owner was on scene. All their material was laid out in an organized manner. A big relief for me to see based on past experiences. The work was completed in a timely manner and the quality was beyond our expectations. If you are in need of a professional electrician in central New Jersey, Call Citywide

Electrial Panel Upgrade
Amount: $2,200.00
Posted by: a user in Nevada City, CA.Posted: May 29th, 2012 08:05PM
Amps: 100 to 200Electrician:
Just bought a house built in 1960's that came with an old Zinsco 100 amp panel. Upgraded it to a 200 amp panel. We expected to pay about $2000 and spent just a little over that. Electrician handled permit and coordinating with PG & E, and the county building inspector for the "rough in" (first permit check). Felt it was fair price and money well spent. (This was done in 2012- the date thingy didn't let me change it to 2012.)

Moving and upgrading my breaker box and changing out 4 plugs in kitchen,and adding 2 smoke detectors as well
Amount: $3,200.00
Posted by: No name. in frisco, TX.Posted: September 2nd, 2011 06:09AM
Amps: 150Electrician: Milestone electric
Milestone is going to come in and replace and move my breaker box that is original to my house built in 1970's. The one I have is no longer safe because of the brand, and time it was installed. I thought the price was high but they added in so many other things they are going to do at no extra charge. They also guarantee their work for the life of the electric panel.
I did not want just anyone doing this job. after all, it's my house we are talking about. so I felt Milestone was the best company for the job. they are experienced, and backed by the BBB. A great company.
By the way, my old panel was a Federal Pacafic Electric Panel.

Replacing GTE/Sylvania 150A Panel - quote only
Amount: $4,896.00
Posted by: a user in Houston area, TX.Posted: July 2nd, 2011 12:07PM
Amps: 150Electrician: John Moore
House built in 1978. Breaker faulty so entire box has to be replaced. Amazing how "code" requires them to replace all breakers, but if that is done then they have to replace the aluminum pole, and install new ground and and and.... so a $2000 cost for box replacement almost triples, all because the breaker isn't made anymore. I am getting other quotes.

Selling my house that was built in 1979 and the inpection revealed that the panel was one recognized for having a bad bus bar. Had a local electrician recommended by the inspector do the work. Nice guy and the price was reasonable.

New panel
Amount: $700.00
Posted by: Waty in Lilburn, GA.Posted: March 18th, 2011 09:03PM
Amps: 200Electrician:
If you get people like Mister Sparky to do your work you are paying about 3 times to much. If you get a local electrician to do it your paying a few hundred extra. Get a guy who works for a company and does it on the side too. The total cost for a new panel and breakers is about 300 bucks (depending on how many breakers and what not). I'll gladly pay someone 400 in labor to wire in my panel while its hot and have it done in a few hours.
