Change propane to electric?

We are buying a house (about 1900 SF in Texas) built 30 years ago. It has a Federal-Pacific panel of about 125 amps and at least one subpanel in the barn. The house is on propane for heat, cooktop, and water heater.

We plan to replace to electric panel which is also too small with some double taps.

We are wondering if it is feasible at the same time to put in 200 amps and convert from propane to electric, not sure what kind of cost would be involved.

It seemed like if we were at all interested in doing this we would do it now when replacing the panel.

Oh, also, there are no GFCI protected outlets and we would probably take care of that as well in the kitchen and bathrooms.
