Electricians typically charge $100–$200 per hour, with most service calls carrying a minimum charge of 1–2 hours plus a $75–$150 trip fee. Master electricians command higher rates than journeymen. Emergency calls (nights, weekends) often double the standard rate.
Upgrading a residential panel from 100A to 200A typically costs $1,800–$4,000 installed, including permit fees. Panels in older homes with aluminum wiring or outdated breakers may require additional remediation work. Always confirm permits are pulled — unpermitted panel work can void homeowner's insurance.
Level 2 EV charger installation (240V) costs $700–$2,500 depending on how close your panel is to the desired charging location, whether you need a panel upgrade, and the charger brand. Federal tax credit (30%, up to $1,000) applies to EV charger equipment — ask your electrician about eligibility.
