SaviTap created this guide to help homeowners across the San Francisco Bay Area understand what electrical panel upgrade/repair work usually covers before they request quotes or book a pro.
Upgrade service amperage, install a subpanel, relocate a panel, or repair the main breaker box and related service equipment.
What this service usually includes
Most electrical panel upgrade/repair requests start with a quick scope check, then move into diagnosis, repair or replacement work, access and setup time, and cleanup after the work is complete. The exact mix depends on the age of the home, the condition of the affected system, and whether hidden issues are uncovered during the visit.
- Main panel upgrade/replacement
- Subpanel install
- Repair existing panel
- Relocate panel
- 60A
- 100A
Typical cost range
For many San Francisco Bay Area homeowners, smaller electrical panel upgrade/repair jobs can start around $1,500, a more typical scope lands near $3,500, and more involved work can reach $7,500. Final pricing still depends on site conditions, access, fixture or material choices, and whether the scope expands after inspection.
What changes the price most
- Relocate panel (demo + extend feeders + install at new spot)
- Existing 60A panel (full service entrance rewire likely)
- Upgrade to 400A (dual 200A gear, heavier feeders, larger meter)
- Meter-main combo setup (utility disconnect + meter pull)
- Outside panel location (weatherproofing, conduit transitions)
