The age of your home also plays a role, as older wiring often needs extra care to meet current safety standards. Parts and material quality also change the total cost.

An electrical panel, often called a breaker box, is the central distribution point for electricity in a building. It contains circuit breakers or fuses that protect individual circuits from overloads and short circuits.
