200-Amp Service Upgrade in the Twin Cities
A 200-amp service upgrade gives your home the capacity for modern loads — EV chargers, central AC, electric ranges, heat pumps, and additions. In the Twin Cities a 100-to-200-amp upgrade typically runs $7,700–$9,500 installed, including the panel, meter socket, code-required surge protection, and Xcel coordination.

*Typical installed prices from our own completed Twin Cities projects. Xcel offers up to a $1,500 rebate on qualifying upgrades — we file the paperwork. Minnesota’s 2023 code adds a required whole-home surge protector and an outdoor emergency disconnect, both included. Final price depends on service-entrance condition, mast/riser, and permit; we give a firm written quote after a free visit.
