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

Upgrading electrical service to 200 amps is quoted after an on-site assessment, and Ostrom gives upfront pricing before any work begins. The largest cost drivers are the service equipment and how much of the incoming power and grounding must be brought up to current code. In older homes, the grounding system often needs a full redo once we open things up. We complete many 200‑amp upgrades for homes around Moneta and understand the typical utility coordination involved. Your final proposal is clear and backed by a lifetime workmanship warranty.

Costs vary with these common scope items:

  • New panel and meter base, plus service mast or conduit changes.
  • Grounding and bonding upgrades (ground rods and water-bonding).
  • AFCI/GFCI breakers and optional whole‑home surge protection.
  • Relocating the panel or trenching/rewiring for underground service.
