Relocating electrical panel

[Victoria J.]

Hi Bigger Pockets,

In a project I am looking at I would want to open a wall from the kitchen to a huge addition they are calling a mud room. It is a huge waste of space and I am hoping to turn it into a family room and close off the laundry area. Unfortunately, the main electrical panel is next to the current opening. I would want it in the future laundry room about 6 feet away in walls that we would be building. I am aware it is an expense that is not necessary! I'm just looking for a ballpark of numbers. I'm thinking $1,500? Any thoughts?
