How Much Does an Electrical Panel Upgrade Cost in Oklahoma?

The honest answer is: it depends on what you're starting with and what you need. But here's what's typical in the OKC Metro Area so you know what to expect before you call.

Typical price ranges

These are general ranges for residential panel upgrades in central Oklahoma. Every home is different, so your quote will be specific to your situation.

• 100-amp to 200-amp service upgrade: This is the most common job. It includes replacing the panel, the meter base, and sometimes the service entrance cable. Permit and inspection included.
• Panel replacement (same amperage): Swapping out an old, full, or recalled panel for a new one at the same service size. Less work than a full upgrade.
• Sub-panel addition: Adding a secondary panel to handle new circuits (garage, workshop, addition) without replacing the main panel.

What's included in the price

When we quote a panel upgrade, everything is in the number:

• New panel and breakers
• New meter base (if required by the utility or code)
• Service entrance cable (if upgrading amperage)
• OG&E coordination for disconnect and reconnect
• Electrical permit and city inspection
• Re-termination of every existing circuit
• Labeling every circuit in the new panel
• Cleanup

No surprise fees after the fact. The price you see written before work begins is the price you pay.

What makes the price go up or down

Higher cost factors:

• Meter base replacement required (OG&E often requires this on older homes)
• Service entrance cable needs to be rerouted through the wall
• Panel is in a difficult location (tight crawl space, high mount)
• Home has aluminum wiring that needs special connectors
• Adding circuits at the same time (EV charger, generator prep, etc.)

Lower cost factors:

• Same-size panel swap (no utility coordination needed)
• Panel is easily accessible on an exterior wall
• Existing meter base and service cable are in good condition

Why prices vary between electricians

The biggest difference isn't usually the panel itself. It's what's included. Ask these questions when comparing quotes:

• Does the price include the permit and inspection?
• Does it include OG&E coordination?
• Does it include the meter base if OG&E requires one?
• Is the price written and fixed, or an estimate that can change?

A lower quote that doesn't include permits or meter base ends up costing more.

How long does it take?

Most residential panel upgrades are a single-day job. OG&E disconnects the service in the morning, we do the work, the inspector comes, OG&E reconnects. You're usually back on power by end of day.
