Rebates (verify; don’t trust a random Facebook ad)

Panel upgrades themselves rarely carry rebates; they often unlock heat-pump or EV-charger work that does. Check utility electrification programs on DSIRE. Start with IRS, ENERGY STAR, and DSIRE.

Local tip: Garage EV circuits and panel upgrades often pair with heat-pump conversions here; confirm amperage headroom before you buy equipment.

What usually moves the number

Getting quotes without the circus

  1. Screenshot our mid/low/high band.
  2. Ask three licensed, insured pros for written scopes.
  3. Compare exclusions — permits, haul-away, thermostats, flashing — before crowning a winner.
What this estimate can’t tell you. Roof pitch, an old house or code upgrades, tough access, permits, emergency or after-hours calls, and brand tier can push a real quote outside this range.
