Panel Upgrades & ReplacementsTarpon Springs, FL

An electrical panel upgrade in Tampa Bay is one of those jobs that looks optional until it isn't. Most homes built before 1990 in Pasco, Hillsborough, and Pinellas counties were wired for 100-amp or 150-amp service — enough for the appliances of that era, not enough for an EV charger, a heat pump, and a home office running simultaneously.

Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels are a different problem. These brands have documented breaker failure rates and have been connected to house fires going back decades. Insurance companies in Florida are increasingly sending non-renewal notices to homes with these panels. If you have one, replacement isn't a future project — it's a current liability.

A standard 200-amp panel upgrade runs $2,340 to $4,550. What moves it higher: meter base replacement (adds $390–$780 and requires coordination with the utility), number of circuits, and older wiring that needs splicing at the new panel. We give you a written quote before we touch anything.

The job takes four to six hours. We schedule early morning starts — usually 7:00 to 8:00 AM — so power is restored before the afternoon heat peak. We pull the permit, do the work, and schedule the inspection. You don't need to call the county. The $89 diagnostic fee applies toward the job if you proceed.

License ER-13016759 covers all panel work in Pasco, Hillsborough, and Pinellas counties. If your insurance company needs documentation after the upgrade, we provide it.
