How much does a panel upgrade cost?

$1,500–$4,500 for a 200-amp upgrade including permit and inspection. More if the meter mast or service drop needs work.

Do I need a permit for electrical work?

Almost always for anything beyond a like-for-like fixture swap. Your electrician handles it.

Can I DIY electrical?

Minor swaps yes; anything at the panel or new circuits should be licensed. Insurance may not cover DIY damage.
