A complete project comparison requires more than a panel price. Review the full written scope and property conditions.
Why online prices vary widely
A 200 amp upgrade may involve different combinations of meter equipment, service conductors, disconnects, grounding, panels, utility work, permits, and restoration. A price that excludes major scope items is not comparable to a complete project proposal.
- Current service configuration and equipment condition
- Overhead, underground, or building service arrangement
- Meter and panel locations and cable routes
- Grounding, bonding, permits, inspections, and restoration
Build the scope around the electrical load
The desired service size should be supported by a load calculation and the property plan. Renovations, electric heating, large appliances, central air conditioning, accessory units, and EV charging can materially change future demand.
- List existing and planned major electrical loads
- Review panel capacity and distribution requirements
- Confirm Con Edison and DOB coordination needs
- Compare proposals using the same written scope
