Service Panel Replacement

AS a reference, the cheap stuff here goes for about $1300 with permits and inspections, so in Philly, that sounds about right..

You do not mention the size (amps) or the service location (overhead/underground).

All of the OEMs sold in the states are about equal except for the color of gray paint.

You had better check with your authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) and the serving utility. They will have rules and rags that you will have to follow. You might need more wiring upgrades than the service.

I was advised to stay well clear of the Square-D "HomeLine" series, with the additional comment: "They should be ashamed to put their name on it." This from an employee of a store that was discontinuing the Square-D QO series in favor of the HomeLine series.

What year was that man? Seriously, the permits here are almost that and we are in hillbilyville

Seems high to me. When I lived in Philly I had a new panel, breakers, new wire from the PE lines, had a couple of receptacles installed and it cost about $200.

$1600 sounds reasonable to me. Call around. I got over the phone quotes of about $1000 for a smaller panel in Baltimore.
