How much does it cost to upgrade electrical service to 200 amps?

The cost to upgrade to 200‑amp service with Kanon Electric Inc is quoted after an in‑home assessment because pricing depends on the exact electrical and utility work required. Most projects involve replacing the main service panel and meter equipment, and sometimes updating the service mast and grounding to meet current standards. Our team regularly completes 200‑amp upgrades across the South Sound, including homes in Puyallup, and financing options are available.

Key factors that drive price:

• Panel brand/type, meter base, and main disconnect specifications
• Service entrance conductors, mast condition, and weatherhead height
• Grounding/bonding upgrades (ground rods, water bond, gas bond)
• Utility coordination needs and any trenching or relocation
• Required AFCI/GFCI protections or circuit corrections discovered during inspection
• Repairing heat damage, corrosion, or improper splices found on site

If you have an older or recalled panel (like certain Federal Pacific or Zinsco models), a full upgrade is often the safer long‑term choice; otherwise, a panel tune‑up or added circuits may solve capacity issues. Schedule an electrician to verify your load and existing service equipment before budgeting a 200‑amp upgrade. <br/> Updated: 2026-04-03 <br/> Need help in Puyallup, WA?
