Service Panel Replacement
How much does it cost to get a main service panel replaced? The guy here
in Philadelphia, PA is asking $1600 for a 30 breaker slot, service panel. Is that a fair price? And what is a good service panel brand and model? Thanks |

All of the OEMs sold in the states are about equal except for the color of gray paint. You had better check with your authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) and the serving utility. They will have rules and rags that you will have to follow. You might need more wiring upgrades than the service. |

I was advised to stay well clear of the Square-D "HomeLine" series, with
the additional comment: "They should be ashamed to put their name on it." This from an employee of a store that was discontinuing the Square-D QO series in favor of the HomeLine series.

And what is a good service panel brand and model? Seems high to me. When I lived in Philly I had a new panel, breakers, new wire from the PE lines, had a couple of receptacles installed and it cost about $200. |

$1600 sounds reasonable to me. Call around. I got over the phone
quotes of about $1000 for a smaller panel in Baltimore. |
