What Panel Work Costs in Richardson
A 100-amp to 200-amp panel replacement in Richardson typically runs $2,200–$4,800 all in, including the panel, breakers, permit, inspection and labor. That is a typical range, not your price. Panel prices vary with material costs, the size of the panel and service, and how complex the job is.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|---|
| Straightforward swap to a single 200-amp panel (from 100 amps), all in | $2,200–$4,800 |
| Meter base, service mast or grounding work | Included in the quote when the service entrance needs it |
| 400-amp service, or an added 200-amp panel feeding a separate building such as a shop | Quoted after an on-site load calculation |
Every Richardson job gets a written flat-rate quote, or a detailed itemized one if you prefer, before work starts, and we coordinate the meter disconnect and release with Oncor Electric Delivery. Panel upgrades in Richardson
Permits & Power in Richardson
Who issues the permit
Electrical permits for work in Richardson are issued by the city, and it is the city that inspects the finished work. Requirements, fees and inspection scheduling differ from one DFW city to the next.
Clements Electric pulls the permit and schedules the inspection as part of the job. Texas Electrical Contractor TECL #40628.
Who owns the wires
Most Richardson addresses are served by Oncor Electric Delivery.
This matters on a service or panel upgrade: the utility named on your electric bill is the one that has to disconnect and then release the meter before the new service can be energized. Worth checking your bill before scheduling, and we coordinate that call either way.
Solar Panels & a Standby Generator in Richardson
If your Richardson home has grid-tied solar, the solar has to connect on the utility side of the generator’s transfer switch, between the meter and the switch, so the generator can never feed the solar inverters. We explain why in adding a standby generator to a home with solar panels. How that connection is made depends on the utility that serves your address: Oncor Electric Delivery.
Oncor Electric Delivery (delivery utility)
- Disconnect: A visible, lockable, labeled AC disconnect is required between the Oncor meter and every source of distributed generation, within 10 feet of the meter unless special placards are used. Oncor states that molded-case breakers are not an acceptable disconnect.
- Meter socket: The meter socket is reserved for Oncor metering. No meter collars or other devices may be installed in it or between the meter and the socket.
- Generator and transfer switch: The generator transfer switch must be installed on the load side of the meter base, never integrated with or in series with the meter. Oncor asks installers to confirm whether the transfer switch is open or closed transition.
- Solar approval: Solar needs an Oncor interconnection application, and Oncor treats a system as certified when it meets UL 1741 and the applicable parts of IEEE 1547.
