Probably depends on if you have to pay PG&E for their side or if it’s just a panel swap.

It was just a panel swap. But I did have PGE come out to disconnect and re-connect service. It also required a permit and inspection from the city.

Ah. Yes that's about right for a panel swap. Upgrading the service conductors is what costs $$$.

You also have situations like my friend - his current 100 amp service is arial, but if he wants to upgrade to 200 amp service he will have to pay for buried line.

Amusingly enough you can add a separate 100 amp service arial if you convert to a duplex even if just on paper ...
