Homes less than 10 years old will have a modern type breaker box. As far as cost goes, that is a good thing if an upgrade becomes necessary. In this type of house, the breaker box will be a minimum of 100 amps, and probably have enough available open circuits to allow upgrading without needing an entirely new panel. This type of upgrade can usually be completed between $363 and $1004.
The panel itself, should be around 100-200 dollars, some actually come with a few breakers and are starter panels. Remember that current circuit ratings must be applied to the new panel as well. this means that if circuit a is on a 20 amp fuse/breaker, it must be on a 20 amp fuze/breaker in the new panel.E: how much does a circuit breaker cost? About how much would it cost to upgrade a 60 amp fuse box to a 100 amp circuit breaker?
