    Are you changing the service or are you keeping the existing service and just upgrading the box? Also is a permit required for what your doing in your area?

    Depends on service line at house. What is amp rating of fuse box? 100 amp? Can you go higher? $200 for box and breakers plus labor. Maybe a DIY for that body. Contracted out $1-2 K.
