Estimator Worked Example
One run of the Electric Panel Cost estimator, line by line: the inputs, each published range, and the total.
Worked example: the estimator with these inputs: 6 AFCI or GFCI breakers needed (only if ticked); Region cost level (est. multiplier): Average US; items: Replace with a 200-amp panel, installed (Angi), Permit and inspection (Angi, This Old House). Each line is the published range times the quantity where it applies, times the multipliers, rounded to the nearest $10.
| Line item | Range |
|---|---|
| Replace with a 200-amp panel, installed (Angi) | $1,300 – $2,000 |
| Permit and inspection (Angi, This Old House) | $50 – $300 |
| Estimated total | $1,350 – $2,300 |
Your own numbers will differ. Run the estimator with your inputs, and see the methodology for where each range comes from. Guides: Electrical Panel Replacement Cost, Electrical Panel Upgrade Cost: 100 to 200 Amps and Beyond, Federal Pacific (FPE) Panels: Risk and Replacement Cost.
