Electrical Panel Upgrade Cost in Texas: 200-Amp Quotes

Compare panel replacement and 200-amp service upgrade costs in Texas. Learn what changes the quote, check electrician licenses, and request a local callback.

How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost?

A national cost guide from Angi lists a 200-amp panel with installation at $1,300–$2,000. That is a budgeting reference, not a Texas contractor quote or the price of every complete service upgrade. A new meter, service wiring, relocation, utility work or other repairs can change the scope and total substantially.

Panel replacement vs. a 100-to-200-amp service upgrade

Replacing a breaker panel and increasing the electrical service capacity are different scopes. Ask an electrician whether the estimate covers only the panel or also changes to the meter, service entrance, grounding, existing circuits and utility connection. A 200-amp label on a new panel does not by itself establish that the rest of the service supports 200 amps.

What should a panel upgrade estimate include?

Panel and breakers: Amperage, model, circuit count, and which breakers are included.
Service capacity: Whether the meter, service wiring or utility connection must change.
Location and access: Whether the panel stays in place and what wall or finish repairs are included.
Permit and inspection: The local permit process, fees, inspection coordination and any return visit.
Power interruption: Who schedules shutoff and reconnection, and the expected outage window.
Other work: Separate prices for additional circuits, EV charging or repairs discovered during assessment.

For Fort Worth, Dallas, Plano and Arlington, compare written estimates for the same scope.

Find an electrician to upgrade your electrical panel

TDLR says non-exempt electrical work in Texas must be performed by licensed people through a licensed electrical contractor. Verify the electrical contractor and associated master electrician using the official license lookup. Ask the contractor which permit and inspection requirements apply to your property.

FAQ

How much does a 200-amp panel upgrade cost in Texas?

The national reference above is $1,300–$2,000 for a panel with installation, not a guaranteed Texas price. A complete service upgrade can involve additional meter, wiring, utility and permit work. Compare itemized local quotes for the same scope.

Can I get a Fort Worth or Plano panel upgrade estimate here?

You can request a free contractor callback using your ZIP and the electrical service category. Tell the contractor you need a panel replacement or service upgrade assessment. Contractor availability and assessment charges must be confirmed directly.

Does installing a new 200-amp panel increase my service capacity?

The electrician must assess the complete service, including the meter, wiring and utility connection. Replacing the panel alone does not establish that every other component supports the higher capacity.

Is a callback request the same as a free on-site estimate?

No. Our callback request is free for homeowners. The contractor sets any assessment, callout or project charges; confirm those before scheduling.
