There is no flat price; 200 amp service upgrades are quoted after an on-site diagnostic and NEC load calculation. Final cost depends on scope: panel replacement, meter box and service conductors, grounding, weatherhead/mast, AFCI/GFCI breaker needs, surge protection, generator inlets, and any underground cable corrections. We provide straightforward pricing before work begins. Start with our $89 circuit breaker and panel repair diagnostic to confirm sizing and options. All work is performed by licensed electricians to current code.

The cost to upgrade to a 200‑amp panel depends on an on‑site evaluation. A licensed electrician will perform NEC load calculations and confirm scope and price before work begins. Many jobs cost more when service conductors, meter box, grounding, or underground cables must be corrected. An $89 circuit breaker and panel repair diagnostic is available to assess your situation.
What affects price:
- Panel-only replacement vs. full service rebuild (meter box, conductors, grounding)
- AFCI/GFCI breakers or new dedicated circuits
- EV charger or generator accommodations
- Underground cable corrections
- Code upgrades per NEC/local rules

Expect an in-home assessment and NEC load calculation to set the price. Big Family gives transparent, upfront pricing before work begins. An $89 circuit breaker and panel repair diagnostic covers panel troubleshooting; your technician will confirm scope and final cost on site. Pricing depends on service size (100A vs. 200A), meter/panel condition, grounding, AFCI/GFCI needs, and any generator or EV charger accommodations. We serve Central and Baton Rouge.
Quick checks:
- Breakers trip or fuses blow.
- Scorching or buzzing at the panel.

There is no single price. Panel replacement is quoted after an on-site inspection. Big Family completes NEC load calculations to size the upgrade and gives straightforward pricing before work begins. Cost depends on panel amperage, scope of service upgrade, and accessories.
What affects price:
- Panel size and breaker count (AFCI/GFCI where needed)
- Meter box, service conductors, grounding, and surge protection
- Underground cable fixes or generator/EV accommodations
