Frequently asked questions
How much does a panel upgrade cost in Florida?
A 200-amp panel upgrade usually runs $1,500 to $4,000 depending on the service and whether the meter or mast needs work.
Is a permit required for electrical work?
For most panel, service and new-circuit work, yes. A licensed electrician will pull it — unpermitted electrical work is a common insurance-claim denial.
