How to read the spread
A same-amp panel swap is not a 100-to-200-amp service change. A Marin or San Francisco job that waits on PG&E is not a Houston CenterPoint meter pull. Twin Cities contractor pages disagree in public. Three Rivers’ FPE/Zinsco band is $7,700 to $9,500; Loch Monster’s general upgrade band is $3,000 to $7,000. Both are cited on the Twin Cities page. Averaging them would be invention.
Permit fees, utility tickets, mast replacement, grounding upgrades, and AFCI/GFCI fill-out are the usual reasons two written quotes on the same house diverge. Ask for those lines in writing.
What this is not
It is not a bid, a guarantee, or a 2026 inflation index. Prices move. If a cited page changes, the city file should change with it.
