Default "Federal Pacific" Breaker box

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!


Figure around $400 in materials for a good Square D QO panel and
breakers, a little less for the lesser brands. Labor would vary greatly
by market and by other factors that could make the job easy or difficult
like access to the panel.

Also, replacing a panel can NOT kill you, panel replacements are done
with the power off, usually be pulling the meter.
