Common Questions

Panel Upgrade FAQs — Bayonne, NJ

How much does a panel upgrade cost in NJ?
Most panel upgrades in New Jersey range from $3,500 to $4,800 depending on the existing service size, panel brand, and whether a new meter socket is required. A 100A to 200A upgrade typically includes the panel, all breakers, labor, permit, and PSE&G coordination.
Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in New Jersey?
Yes — all panel upgrades in New Jersey require an electrical permit from your local building department. Malfettone Electric pulls all permits on your behalf and schedules the final inspection. We handle the paperwork so you don't have to.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most residential panel upgrades are completed in one day. Permit processing and inspection scheduling typically adds 1–2 weeks. We coordinate with PSE&G or JCPL to reconnect service, minimizing your downtime.
Will my power be off during the panel upgrade?
Yes, your power will be off for several hours on the day of the upgrade while we replace the panel and transfer all circuits. PSE&G disconnects and reconnects the meter. Most jobs are completed with power restored the same day.
What is a 200 amp service upgrade?
A 200A service upgrade increases the total electrical capacity coming into your home from 60A or 100A to 200A. This is necessary before adding an EV charger, solar system, whole-home generator, or additional HVAC. It involves replacing the panel, breakers, and often the meter socket.
