Answers to Common Questions
View All FAQsHow much does it cost to upgrade from 100 amp to 200 amp service?
There isn’t a single set price to upgrade from 100 amp to 200 amp service. A licensed Parrish electrician will confirm costs after an on-site inspection. Scope can include panel replacement, service-entrance and meter work, and grounding/bonding corrections. We pull permits, schedule inspections, and coordinate with the power company when required. AFCI/GFCI safety upgrades, new circuits, or generator integration can affect price and timeline. We service Northern Virginia homes, including Reston and Fairfax.

Upgrading electrical service to 200 amps is priced after an on-site evaluation because total cost depends on the panel, service entrance, code updates, and utility requirements. The biggest cost driver is whether your current service equipment and grounding can safely handle the higher capacity. In many mid-century homes, a true 200‑amp upgrade replaces the meter base and service conductors along with the panel. Our licensed team frequently completes 200‑amp upgrades across Northern Virginia homes, and we confirm a firm price once the scope is defined.
What most affects the price:
- Panel type/space and breaker mix (standard vs AFCI/GFCI)
- Service conductors, meter base, and mast condition
- Grounding/bonding upgrades and surge protection
- Feeder length, relocation, finish repairs, and permit/utility coordination
Ask for a load calculation and written scope so pricing reflects all required parts and inspections. <br/> Updated: 2026-03-13 <br/> Need help in Fairfax, VA? Call (571)-650-1016 or book online. “Could not ask for more professional service.” — Jonathan F.

A professional fuse box replacement is not a flat-price job; a licensed electrician confirms the cost after an on-site evaluation of your electrical service, grounding, and code needs. Most cost comes from upgrading to a modern breaker panel, correcting safety issues, and labor required to meet current standards. The breaker count rarely drives price; the service amperage and the grounding path usually do. Our licensed electricians handle these upgrades throughout the Marshall area. Parrish Services provides live, 24/7 dispatch and does not charge overtime rates for after-hours work.
Key factors that change the price:
- Service amperage and whether a larger service upgrade is required
- Panel location changes, meter socket or service mast work
- Required AFCI/GFCI protection and whole-home surge protection
- Bonding/grounding corrections and any needed rewiring to meet code
Schedule an in-home evaluation to receive a precise, code-compliant quote before work begins. <br/> Updated: 2026-05-08 <br/> Need help in Marshall, VA? Call (571)-650-1016 or book online.
