Phil R.
Brookings, SD
Needed a panel upgrade for an EV charger. Electrician was fully licensed, did clean work, and got the permit pulled quickly. Great experience.
Denise W.
Brookings, SD
Tripped breaker that wouldn't reset — turned out to be serious. The electrician they sent diagnosed it fast and fixed a potential fire hazard. Worth every penny.
Chris H.

Added outlets to my garage and shop. Electrician was knowledgeable, code-compliant, and priced fairly. Same-day availability was a huge plus.

Typical range: $200 – $8,000+ depending on scope
Electrical work ranges from minor outlet repairs to full panel replacements and EV charger installations. Costs depend on scope, local permit requirements, and whether walls need to be opened for new wiring runs.
| Option / Tier | Description | Typical Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Minor repair or outlet install | Outlet replacement, GFCI install, circuit troubleshooting | $150–$500 |
| EV charger installation | Level 2 charger (240V dedicated circuit) | $500–$1,500 |
| Panel upgrade (100A to 200A) | Required before solar, EV chargers, or major additions | $1,500–$4,000 |
| Whole-home rewiring | Knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring replacement | $5,000–$15,000+ |
What moves the cost most:
Panel capacity
Older 100-amp panels often need upgrading before adding EV chargers or solar. 200A is the standard for modern homes.
Permit and inspection requirements
All electrical work above basic replacements requires permits in most jurisdictions. Inspections are mandatory.
Access and wall opening
Running new circuits through finished walls adds time and cost vs. unfinished basement or attic access.
Utility coordination
Panel upgrades and solar interconnections may require utility company involvement, adding timeline.
Panel upgrades are often required before solar or EV charger installation and increase the home's electrical capacity for future additions. The federal EV charger tax credit covers 30% of installation cost (up to $1,000) through 2032.
A Level 2 home charger (240V) provides 20–30 miles of range per hour of charging — compared to 3–5 miles per hour on a standard 120V outlet. Installation requires a dedicated 240V circuit, typically 40–60 amps. If your panel has available capacity, installation is straightforward ($500–$1,000). If the panel is full or undersized, a panel upgrade is needed first. Some utilities offer EV charger rebates — ask your installer to check.
The federal Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling Property Credit offers up to 30% (maximum $1,000) of the cost of a home EV charger installation. This applies to both the equipment and labor costs. The credit is available through 2032 under the Inflation Reduction Act.
