What to write when a panel upgrade price goes quiet
If $3,900 is why they have not replied, change the scope or explain the number. Do not invent a lower price in the follow-up.
Names, prices, and companies on this page are examples.
Why the number is the number
Permit, utility coordination, and the breaker count are the price. An unpermitted swap is not this bid. The bid includes a 200-amp panel, the permit, and moving the existing circuits over.
What you can take out
The line you can remove is a new range circuit, and any knob-and-tube replacement in the attic. Do not offer to skip the permit so the number matches an unlicensed bid. Panel bids sit until the utility and the permit line up, or until someone sends a lower bid that skips the permit.

What is in the panel upgrade price
Hi Wendy, If $3,900 for the panel upgrade looks high, here is what it covers: a 200-amp panel, the permit, and moving the existing circuits over. I can take out a new range circuit, and any knob-and-tube replacement in the attic and send a revised number. I do not want to cut the work and leave the price looking the same. Thanks, Ian Brooks Brooks Electric
