Why people call us

Insurance Company Says Your Panel Has to Go?

Most homeowners call us for one of four reasons.

  • Your insurer flagged it. Many Florida insurers won’t cover, or charge more for, homes with Federal Pacific, Zinsco, Challenger or fuse panels. We replace it and give you the paperwork for your agent.
  • It failed an inspection. A 4-point, home sale or appraisal inspection flagged the panel. We can usually fit the work in quickly enough to keep a closing on track.
  • You’re adding something big. An EV charger, new AC, pool, hot tub or addition needs more room than an older 100- or 150-amp panel has.
  • It’s acting up. Breakers trip often, lights dim when the AC starts, or the panel feels warm or looks rusty.

Whatever the reason, you get an exact price before we start and one day of work.

Questions We Hear Every Week

Will my insurance company accept the new panel?

A permitted, inspected replacement is what insurers ask for. We give you the permit and final inspection paperwork to send your agent.

How much does it cost?

Standard 200-amp replacements start at $3,295, including a whole-home surge protector, plus the permit fee. You get an exact price in writing before any work.

How long will my power be out?

About 4 hours for a standard replacement, with power back on the same day. If the power company has to reconnect a new meter or a bigger service, it can take an extra day, and we’ll tell you before you book.

Do you pull the permit?

Yes. We pull the permit, coordinate with the power company and meet the inspector.

How many visits does it take?

Usually one installation day, after we’ve seen your panel in person or by photo. The inspector visits separately.

Can you add an EV charger outlet?

Yes. We can add a 50-amp EV outlet for $499 while the panel is open.

Is a panel the same as a breaker box?

Yes. Electrical panel, breaker box, load center and main service panel all mean the same thing. A fuse box is the older kind that uses fuses instead of breakers.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. Ask about financing when you call and we’ll walk you through the options.
