Why one job costs more than another.
These are the main variables that push your specific project toward the low or high end of the range.
Upgrading from 60A to 200A costs more than 100A to 200A — larger gap means more work. Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels (common in older KC homes built in the 1960s–1980s) are recalled brands that always need full replacement.
Evergy must pull the meter before panel work begins. If the meter socket or service entrance cable needs replacing, that adds cost and 1–2 weeks of lead time for Evergy scheduling.
NEC 2020 code (adopted in both Missouri and Kansas) requires AFCI protection in most living areas and GFCI in wet locations. These breakers cost more than standard breakers — budget $30–$60 per breaker vs $5–$15 for standard.
If the cable from the meter to the panel is undersized, aluminum, or damaged, it must be replaced as part of the upgrade. Common in KC homes built before 1990.
Permit fees range from $50–$200+ depending on your city — Kansas City MO, Overland Park, Olathe, Lee's Summit, and other KC metro cities all have different fee schedules. Always included in our estimate.
