How much does it cost to upgrade electrical service to 200 amps?

A 200-amp electrical service upgrade is priced case-by-case after an on-site inspection. The biggest cost swing is whether the job is a panel-only replacement or a full service upgrade that also replaces the meter socket, service conductors, and grounding.

Final pricing also reflects code corrections found during the assessment, utility coordination, and any add-ons like whole-home surge protection. Our licensed electricians handle permitting and the final code-compliance check, and we complete these upgrades across the Denver metro, including work in Aurora. An $800 discount on a new electrical panel is available when purchased with an upgraded service. In many homes, the meter enclosure and service entrance drive costs more than the panel itself.

Expect pricing to change if any of these apply:

• Service is underground and needs trenching or a longer run.
• Meter socket or service mast must be replaced or relocated.
• Grounding/bonding, panel clearance, or load calculations require extra work.

If you smell burning, feel heat at the panel, or see scorch marks, turn off the main breaker and call a licensed electrician. <br/> Updated: 2026-05-07 <br/> Need help in Aurora, CO? Call (303) 647-7885 or book online.
