I want to upgrade the service in my house from 100 Amps to 200 Amps to support my furnace and additional central air installation. We’ve received a quote from an electrician who has submitted the initial paperwork to Keyspan. He has come back with $3,200 for the labor for the service upgrade, which includes replacing/consolidating 3 separate breaker panels onto a single 200 amp panel. The cost of the panel and other supplies will be additional. Is this in/out of the ballpark? Alternatively, does it sound suspiciously low? Of our other two electricians 1 has not expressed interest in the job and another is not NYS licensed.
