Cost To Replace Fuse Box with Breaker Panel

The average cost to replace a fuse box with a breaker panel is $1,200 to $4,300 and depends on what capacity the new breaker panel can handle. There are a few reasons for a new breaker box installation over a fuse box.

Circuit breakers are more convenient. If the electrical circuit trips the switch, you just flip it back on. If a fuse goes out, you must replace it.
Old fuse boxes were never designed to handle the electrical load we now require from our homes.
Installing bigger fuses creates a fire hazard.
Some of today’s appliances require a 220V circuit, and a fuse box can’t deliver that.

**FUSE BOX VS. CIRCUIT BREAKER**
Method	Pros	Cons
Fuse Box	Cheaper than circuit breakers More sensitive to current Can be replaced by the homeowner	Must be replaced when tripped Fuses are too small for most of the appliances we own
Circuit Breakers	Easy to reset Can be used with a GFCI Compatible with today’s electrical requirements	Less sensitive to current changes More expensive to replace Must be replaced by a licensed electrician

Cost to Replace a Circuit Breaker Switch or Fuse

The cost replace a circuit breaker switch is $170 to $220, which includes labor and materials. Fuses can be bought for as low as $8 to $45 depending on which type you need for your home. Most of the cost is for labor—the average cost for an electrician is $45–$104 per hour, and this job can take 2–3 hours.

Replacing the Main Circuit Breaker Cost

Replacing the main circuit breaker costs between $45 to $104 for the part and another $45 to $104 per hour to have an electrician install it. The main circuit breaker shuts off the electricity to the house in one move.

If one of the smaller circuit breakers fails to trip, the main circuit breaker will trip, as a backup. It will also trip if there is a significant surge of electricity, such as lightning. If it trips often enough, soon it will need to be replaced. If you notice them tripping regularly, you might look into getting them replaced or upgrading your panel box.
