Electrical panel upgrade cost in Wharton
Electrical panel upgrade cost in Wharton depends on the service size, whether the meter and service cable are replaced, the panel's location and what the utility requires. A panel-only swap costs less than a full 100 amp to 200 amp service upgrade. We look at the existing equipment and give you a written price.

Electrical panel upgrade in Wharton: common questions
How long is the power off during a panel upgrade?
Usually most of one working day. Power is back on before we leave.
Do I need 200 amps?
If you plan to add a car charger, heat pump, electric range or an addition, almost certainly. The load calculation gives a definite answer.
Is a panel replacement the same as a service upgrade?
No. A replacement keeps the same amperage and swaps the box. A service upgrade also increases the capacity coming from the utility.
Do you cover all of Wharton?
Yes. We work throughout Wharton and Morris County, including ZIP code 07885.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Wharton?
New circuits, panel changes and service work generally need a permit from the local construction office. Simple like-for-like replacements usually do not. We tell you when your job needs one.
