The cost of replacing an electrical panel in Ontario typically ranges from $1,000 to $3,000, but this depends on several variables. Factors that influence the price include the amperage of the new panel (commonly 100, 150, or 200 amps), the brand and quality of components used, the complexity of the installation, and whether the upgrade involves additional wiring or permits. For example, moving the panel to a new location or upgrading from a fuse box to a breaker panel will increase labour and material costs.
Moreover, homes that require trenching for upgraded service lines, meter base upgrades, or ESA inspections may see higher project costs. While it might seem expensive, panel upgrades significantly improve safety, support additional electrical load, and increase property value, especially when installing systems like EV chargers or hot tubs.
