We are thinking about redesigning our kitchen and would like to move our load panel from a wall in the middle of our kitchen to one around 4 feet away. This would allow us to take down the wall where the load panel is currently located and will open up many design options. I need to know if this is a complex and expensive task, and if anyone has a sense of how much this might cost?

A load panel as in the electrical box? The one with all the fuses?
If that's what you're talking about then you should consult a electrician or a building contractor. Moving the electrical box would require rewiring all your stuff. Probably pretty expensive.
If you're talking about a load bearing wall....I don't think that can be done safely. Again I'd suggest consulting a building contractor. That's big bucks too.'

it can be done but when u move it some wires will be short. so either you have to run new wire for the short ones. or put a junction box in to extend them. the less wires u have that are short the cheaper it should be.
