How much will an electrical panel upgrade cost plus a ground wire installed?
My home was built in the mid 1950s. Everytime I plug my portable heater, my power goes out and I have to reset the circuit breaker. I know I need to get my electrical panel upgraded. How much should I expect to pay for a decent panel. I also don't have a ground wire and technically should not have three prong outlets hooked up. How much will having a ground wire ran throught my house cost? My house is on a raised foundation if the matters. Please have the figure include professional installation and not just the parts. Thank you for any info you can provide.
Depending on your area there are many variables that could drastically affect the cost of the installation. But an average cost for a 100amp upgrade with new meter, mast, service head, 20 circuit panel w/main breaker, grounding and local permit fees is typically around $800.00, homes larger than 2000 square feet would require a 200amp service upgrade per the NEC. This would be approximately double the cost. As for the grounding, you should be able to change out the device to a three prong double duplex receptacle and connect the common bare copper ground already installed to the green ground terminal (Not the neutral wire, which is usually colored white). If your home is in conduit your ground path is the metal conduit therefore the screw which holds the receptacle in place also bonds the 3rd prong to ground.
