Why Panel Upgrades Matter

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's electrical system. An outdated or undersized panel can't safely handle modern electrical demands, leading to tripped breakers, potential fire hazards, and inability to add new appliances or circuits.

A modern electrical panel upgrade ensures your home has the capacity and safety features needed for today's electrical needs - and tomorrow's.

Panel Upgrade FAQs

How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Jacksonville?

Panel upgrades in Jacksonville typically range from $1,500 to $4,000 for a standard 200-amp upgrade. Costs vary based on your existing service, needed upgrades to the meter base, and any additional circuits required. I provide free estimates with transparent pricing.

Do I need a permit for a panel upgrade in Jacksonville?

Yes, electrical panel upgrades require permits in Jacksonville and Duval County. I handle all permit acquisition and scheduling of inspections as part of my service - you don't have to worry about any of the paperwork.

How long does a panel upgrade take?

Most panel upgrades are completed in one day (4-8 hours). You'll be without power during the installation, typically for 4-6 hours. I'll coordinate timing to minimize disruption.

Should I upgrade my panel when rewiring my house?

In most cases, yes. If your home needs rewiring, the panel often needs upgrading too. Doing both together is more cost-effective than separate projects and ensures your entire electrical system is modern and safe.

What's wrong with Federal Pacific panels?

Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) panels have a documented history of breakers failing to trip during overloads, creating serious fire hazards. If you have an FPE panel, I strongly recommend replacement for your family's safety.
