The cost of copper has gone thur the weather head( that is where the power company woudl connect)

It depends on your local requirements and what you want upgraded.
Do you just need your meter and main breaker box outside upgraded?
Do you need the breaker box upgraded?
How many circuits are in the old box?
What is the amperage of the service you have now?
What amperage do you want to upgrade to?
What are the utility requirements?
Are there several old fuse boxes that need to be combined into the new breaker box?
What is the distance from the meter/main outside to the breaker box?
I recommend looking in your local yellow pages and calling at least 3 electric contractors and get estimates for the work you need completed. Most electrical contractors offer free estimates; we do.
every home and every area is different --- that being said try calling 3 electrical contractors in your area and have them give you a written bid
just changing the box and breakers and installing a new ground rod can run anywhere from $800-$1200 in the Northeast.
ABOUT 1000 TO 1200 BUCKS
