Never knew the safety concern about these until seeing something on Facebook today and of course that’s what’s in my house.
Looks like it something I need to get fixed sooner rather than later. How much will this set me back?

Depends really. Think a neighbor had their whole pannel replaced for about $2500 and that included some exterior work. My house has an external main panel with the interior circuits on a seperate subpanel, replacing it would be very easy as I can shut off power to it without having to call out the electrical company to pull the meter.

Had one of those panels and changed it out about 4 months ago. Cost about 2000. I didn't originally have an outside panel but it was added.

I did one in Florida about 5 years ago. It was $700-750. I jumped at that price when the guy quoted it.
ETA: It was just one main panel in the garage. No outside panel. Cost included the new breaker panel and breakers.

Man, I do this for a living and that sounds outrageously high unless it included a service rebuild.
Say it's a main panel with about 20-30 circuits, you are looking at $250-300 for materials (even if you have to re-feed the panel from the meter) and about 4 hours of labor (5 if something weird comes up). So that's $600-700 for labor. Plus materials, you are looking at ballpark $1000.
eta: missed where you said they added an outside panel. That adds some, but I'm not sure $1000.

That sounds like a pretty fair price to me.
