- Residential panel equipment, standard installation labor, removal, and reconnection of existing usable circuits.
- Basic grounding and bonding work, whole-home surge protection, labeling, and disconnect / reconnect coordination.
- Service upgrades include a compatible meter-main and short service-entry connections at the existing location.
Confirm during your Phoenix site visit
Have the electrician review service capacity, panel condition, access, and APS or SRP requirements for your address. Trenching, utility equipment or line extensions, mast reconstruction, whole-house rewiring, solar or battery changes, and finish repairs need separate pricing. Commercial and emergency work are outside this calculator.
How the estimate is calculated
Start with a base allowance: $2,200-$3,800 for a same-capacity 100-200 amp replacement, $3,500-$5,500 for a 200-amp upgrade, or $7,500-$12,500 for a 400-amp upgrade. Add $1,200-$3,000 when moving the panel up to 10 feet.
Wiring correction allowances are $0 when no extra work is known, $500-$1,500 for limited work, $1,500-$4,000 for extensive work, or $500-$2,000 when unsure. Each new circuit adds $400-$900. These allowances are planning assumptions; extensive work can exceed them.
Add a $250-$650 permit and inspection allowance, then apply your selected contingency to both ends of the subtotal. Round the low end down and the high end up to the nearest $50. The permit allowance is not an official City of Phoenix fee schedule. This tool compares budgets and does not size electrical service or verify code compliance.
