Delaware Code Requirements for Panel Upgrades

What Can Increase Panel Upgrade Cost?
Every home is different — especially older and rural properties in Kent County.
Pricing may increase if:
Underground Service Requires Digging
If your meter or emergency disconnect is not attached directly to the home and the service is underground, excavation may be required.
Trenching increases labor and material cost.
Meter Base Replacement Is Required
Older meter bases often must be upgraded to meet current utility standards.
Panel Relocation
If relocating panel:
- Under 6 feet = minimal code impact
- Over 6 feet = all circuits must meet 2023 NEC requirements
This may require:
- AFCI breakers
- GFCI breakers
- Additional wiring corrections
AFCI & GFCI Breaker Upgrades
Older homes often have standard breakers.
If upgrading to:
- Arc-Fault breakers
- Ground-Fault breakers
Costs increase due to material pricing and code requirements.
