Electrical Panel Upgrade FAQ
How much does a panel upgrade cost in Sacramento?
A 200-amp panel upgrade in the Sacramento area costs $1,800–$4,500 depending on complexity. A straightforward panel swap averages $2,500–$3,500. If your meter base also needs replacement or the utility requires a riser upgrade, expect $3,500–$4,500.
Do I need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?
Most Level 2 EV chargers require a dedicated 50-amp circuit. If your panel is 100 amps or less, you'll likely need an upgrade to 200 amps. Many Sacramento homes built before 2000 have undersized panels. We can assess your capacity and handle the full upgrade plus charger installation.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
A standard panel upgrade takes 6–8 hours (one full day). Your power will be off for 4–6 hours during the swap. We coordinate with SMUD or PG&E for the disconnect and reconnection. Complex upgrades requiring meter base or riser work may need a second day.
Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade?
Yes, electrical panel upgrades require a permit in all California jurisdictions. We pull the permit, schedule inspections, and ensure the work meets current NEC code. The permit is included in our quoted price.
