Depending on the amperage, the typical cost to replace an electrical panel ranges from $850 to $2,500. A 100-amp service panel upgrade costs between $850 and $1,600, a 200-amp breaker box replacement costs between $1,800 and $2,500, and a 400-amp electrical service upgrade costs between $2,000 and $4,000. Total expenses are determined by the kind of residence, the number of circuits, and the amperage.

An electrician would typically charge between $200 and $250 per fixture to install recessed can or canless LED lights. There may also be an hourly charge to take into account. Professionals charge $85 to $105 per hour, and each recessed lighting installation takes around 2 to 2.5 hours.

There are many types of electrical installation. If you’re building a new home, your home will require an initial installation of wiring and electrical panel, called a rough-in. The rough-in is done after framing but before drywall installation. After drywall and in existing homes, electrical installations can include lighting installation, installing outlets and switches, generator installation, surge protection or adding an EV car charger.

Several types of electrical installations require professional services to ensure safety and compliance with local codes. These include panel upgrades, rewiring an entire home or adding circuits, installing new outlets or lighting fixtures, and setting up specialized systems like EV chargers, home automation, or surge protection. High-voltage or complex projects, such as HVAC system wiring and appliance installations, also demand a licensed electrician. Professional services ensure that the installation is done correctly, minimizing the risk of electrical hazards like short circuits, fires, or code violations.
