I did mine in 2004 and it cost around $3000. I used Allways electric. Very good company and they have done other electrical work for us. They are located in Brightwaters. They work in Nassau and Suffolk.
The last estimate I got for somthing like that was less than $1000.
Do you need to upgrade? Are your breakers tripping?
I have 100am service in an all electric house (heating, stove, dryer, central air, etc...) and never tripped anything. Lights do dim slightly when AC first kicks in but that was happening in my apartment and other houses.
I know people say 200 amp panel is good but if you don't really need it, why spend the $?
100 to 200 AMP, I paid $1900 last spring. Something like 24 breakers replaced, new ground, and new masthead and line from masthead to panel. Its all labor, the materials are fairly cheap, minus the wire which is probably fairly expensive, its super thick.
Use a place called greatful electric, i think in baldwin. Someone on here actually recommended them. I am pretty sure its a small operation and you are dealing with the owner and sole employee along with his helper. He was a nice guy and did good work and I thought the price was really fair. It was what I expected to pay and they guy made a good impression so I didn't even bother getting other quotes.
A bit on the high end but not insane. If you like the guy ask if he can come down a bit.
It usually cost $2,200-$3,000.
