Breaker panel expertise
Homeowners are allowed to work on the service panel, but many choose to avoid this for safety reasons. Most homeowners only have the experience of opening the outer door of the electrical service panel to flip on a disabled circuit breaker.
Many seasoned do-it-yourself homeowners still choose to call in an electrician when it comes to any work that involves removing the protective front cover and handling the electrical panel wiring. An electrical panel price will vary based on the size needed and the work that needs to be done. As a ballpark, electrical panels cost about $1,100 to upgrade or replace and $1,300 to install
