What Does Electrical Panel Replacement Cost in the GTA?

Panel replacement is one of those jobs where quotes come back hundreds of dollars apart and homeowners cannot tell why. This page breaks down what actually drives the number, so you can read a quote properly instead of just picking the lowest one.

Our Starting Price

Panel work at EZ Smart starts from $1,599. That is a real starting point, not a teaser rate — a straightforward like-for-like panel replacement on an accessible service sits at the low end.

Jobs move above that starting price for specific, identifiable reasons. A full 100A to 200A service upgrade costs more than a like-for-like swap because it adds service conductors, a new mast and meter base, and a utility disconnect. An underground service costs more than an overhead one, because the incoming conductors may need attention and excavation can be involved. A 60A fuse box replacement sits higher again, because the mast, meter base, and grounding almost always need replacing at the same time.

We state the ESA permit fee in the written quote, so it is never a surprise line item afterwards.

The Five Things That Actually Move the Price

1. Overhead vs underground service. Overhead is the cheaper, faster job. Underground means the incoming conductors may need replacing, and that can involve excavation.

2. Condition of the mast and meter base. If the existing mast is undersized or corroded, it gets replaced. This is the single most common reason a quote comes in higher than a neighbour’s.

3. Panel location and cable run. A panel that moves from a cramped closet to a code-compliant location means new feeder cable, more labour, and possibly drywall repair.

4. Circuit count and condition. Every circuit gets transferred and labelled. Homes with a lot of circuits, or with old wiring that needs pigtailing to land safely, take longer.

5. Grounding and bonding upgrades. Older homes frequently need a new ground electrode and water-line bonding to pass inspection. It is not optional and it is not always visible in the original quote.

How to Compare Two Panel Quotes

A quote you can actually trust names the panel make and amperage, states whether the ESA permit fee is included, says who schedules the utility disconnect, and specifies whether mast, meter base, and grounding work are in scope or extra.

If a quote is a single line item with a number, you have no way to know what was left out. The cheapest quote is often the one that excluded the mast.

Is It Worth the Money?

If the panel is a Federal Pacific or Zinsco, or a 60A fuse box, the honest answer is that you are buying risk reduction and insurability, not just capacity. Many insurers now surcharge or refuse these homes outright.

If you are adding an EV charger, a heat pump, or a basement suite, the upgrade is what makes those projects possible at all. And a documented upgrade with an ESA Certificate of Inspection removes an objection at resale.

"I cannot recommend Amir enough. We hired him to upgrade our electrical panel to 200-amps. From the moment he arrived, he was professional, punctual, and highly communicative. Amir took the time to explain the process, answered all my questions. If you need an electrician who is honest, skilled, and respects your home, look no further. We will definitely be using Amir for all of our future electrical needs.

Outstanding Electrician – Highly Recommend Amir at EZSMART CORPORATION After interviewing eleven electricians, I chose Amir from EZSMART CORPORATION to upgrade my home to 200A service and install an EV charger—and I couldn’t be happier with that decision. From our first conversation, Amir made me feel confident and at ease. He was honest, transparent, and never tried to upsell unnecessary work. Instead, he offered practical advice and even recommended the best EV charger for my vehicle. Once the job began, a few unexpected issues came up—none of which were his fault or included in the original estimate. Still, Amir resolved them without charging extra. That level of integrity is rare. Amir’s professionalism, fairness, and attention to detail truly set him apart. If you need electrical work done, I highly recommend Amir and EZSMART CORPORATION.
