How Much Does a Panel Upgrade Cost in Cincinnati?

  • Service cable condition and whether it needs replacement
  • Panel location and accessibility
  • Code requirements (grounding, bonding, arc-fault protection)
  • Permit and inspection fees (included in our pricing)

A proper panel upgrade includes the new panel, breakers, permit, inspection, Duke Energy coordination, labeling, testing, and cleanup.
