Typical Electrical Cost Ranges
Industry benchmarks — your quote should be in the ballpark. Significant deviations warrant a closer look.
Main panel upgrade (100A → 200A)
installed with permit — varies by panel brand, location, and utility company requirements
Electrical outlet installation
new outlet with wiring run — varies by accessibility and distance to panel
Whole-home rewiring (1,500 sq ft)
full rewire is disruptive and expensive — make sure it's actually necessary
EV charger installation (Level 2)
includes dedicated 240V circuit — price varies by panel capacity and distance

Electrical Red Flags to Watch For
These don't always mean fraud — but they're worth asking about before you sign.
Flat "trip fee" or "diagnostic fee" that isn't credited toward the job
Per-outlet or per-switch pricing with no itemized materials breakdown
Panel upgrade quoted without specifying panel brand or amperage
No mention of permit costs — electrical work almost always requires permits
Pressure to rewire the whole house when only a circuit is affected
Vague "code compliance" charge with no explanation of what code issues exist
