Had my electrical panel replaced this week, I have mixed feelings about shelling out the $$$ for a project that doesn't really improve the value of the house. On the flipside, one less way for the house to burn down. Old panel was 60 years old, had a sub panel, and the electrician found some sketchy stuff from a previous reno. All in all, it is nicely tidied up and the next step is to move the service to the detached garage, add another 100 amp panel there and I am ready for hot tub / car charger / AC.
I have to say, much like most of my projects, I put them off forever because I have a number in my head of what it would cost (with no real basis) so I wait until we have a bunch of free cash. Then I get quotes and it is like half of what I was expecting. I am an idiot.
