Question: How long does it take to remove and replace an electric panel with a new one?
Top Answer (25% of 35 votes): 4-5 hrs.

Answer: 7-8 hrs
Explanation: I would anticipate having power off for a full day. When someone is removing/replacing a main electrical panel you do not know what you will run in to. The electrician may find damaged wires that need repair, he may have to reroute wiring, he may have to install new feeder wires. Also once the work is completed, when can the inspector make it to your location, when can the power company return to energize the panel?

Explanation: After swapping out the old panel with the new one, you've got to have the utility company turn the power back on, test all the circuits and breakers, and than have the building inspector sign off and close out the permit.
