How much does it cost to replace a fuse box professionally?

Professional fuse box replacement pricing is confirmed after an on-site inspection because panel size, code upgrades, and permits drive the total. Most often, replacement is recommended when breakers keep tripping, the switch won’t stay set, or the home has an outdated FPE or Zinsco panel. The job can involve swapping to a modern breaker panel, correcting grounding and bonding, and coordinating a utility shutoff, so scope changes affect cost. Our licensed electricians handle these upgrades throughout the Austin area. SALT+ members receive up to 15% off repairs and 5% off new installations.

Key factors that move the price up or down:

• Amperage rating and breaker count of the new panel
• Service entrance or meter base upgrades and utility coordination
• Code corrections like grounding/bonding or AFCI/GFCI breakers, plus optional whole-home surge protection
• Panel relocation, wall repair, or circuit rewiring
