I'm glad I asked. You guys are amazing!

How much should I expect to pay to replace just the service panel and
all the breakers? (I don't do stuff that can kill me alone) Also,
what brand and size should I replace it with? It's a 200 amp now,
should I spring for a 200 this time around?

Thanks again gents!

If you have a 200A service now I would definitely not go any smaller.
Despite talk of energy-efficient this, that, and the other we seem to
put more and more demands on our electrical systems as time goes by.
Even if you don't use a lot of juice, if you ever go to sell the house,
anything less than a 200A service will probably be called "inadequate"
by the buyer's home inspector.
