How much does electrical panel replacement cost in Contra Costa County?

Panel replacement costs vary based on panel size, your home’s wiring condition, and any additional code upgrades needed. Most residential replacements range from $2,000 to $4,000 including permits and inspection.

Factors that affect cost include the distance from your meter to the panel, whether your main electrical service needs upgrading, and if additional circuits need to be added. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront.

Many Contra Costa County homeowners combine panel upgrades with EV charger installation, especially given the county’s push toward transportation electrification and the available rebates for electrical upgrades.

Absolutely. EV charging typically requires a 200-amp panel with available capacity for a dedicated 240-volt circuit. If your current panel is undersized or doesn’t have spare capacity, we can upgrade it to handle EV charging plus your home’s existing electrical needs.

We’ll calculate your total electrical load to ensure the new panel can safely support everything. Many Contra Costa County homeowners combine panel upgrades with EV charger installation for maximum convenience and efficiency.
