When Your Panel Can't Keep Up

Older panels weren't designed for modern electrical loads. If your home in Englewood still has 100-amp service — or a fuse box — it may not safely support today's appliances, let alone an EV charger or new HVAC system.

  • Breakers that trip repeatedly under normal use
  • Lights that dim or flicker when appliances run
  • A panel that feels warm or has a burning smell
  • Fuse box or panels under 150 amps
  • Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or Pushmatic panels (known fire hazards)
  • Planning to add an EV charger, pool, or major appliance

We provide free estimates throughout Englewood and Sarasota County. If your panel is fine, we'll tell you that too — we're not in the business of selling work that doesn't need to be done.

How We Handle the Upgrade

A panel upgrade in Englewood involves more than swapping out a box. We coordinate the utility disconnect, pull the permit, do the work, and schedule the inspection — all as one job. You don't have to manage multiple vendors or chase paperwork.

  • Free on-site estimate — we look at your current panel and your load needs
  • Permit pulled before work starts, inspection scheduled for same week
  • Utility disconnect and reconnect coordinated directly with FPL / TECO
  • New 200A main panel with proper breaker sizing and labeling
  • Grounding and bonding updated to current NEC code

Permit required — always. Florida law requires a permit for panel upgrades. We pull it, schedule it, and handle the inspection. Any electrician who skips the permit puts your insurance coverage and home's resale at risk.

Panel Upgrade Services in Englewood

200A Service Upgrade

The most common upgrade we do in Englewood — replacing a 100A or older panel with a new 200A main breaker panel. Handles modern loads and leaves room for future circuits. Permit included.

400A Service / Subpanels

Homes with EV chargers, pools, whole-home generators, or large square footage may need 400A service or a subpanel to distribute load. We assess your needs and design the right solution.

Defective Panel Replacement

Federal Pacific Stab-Lok, Zinsco, Pushmatic, and certain Sylvania panels have documented safety issues. If your Englewood home has one of these, replacement isn't optional — it's urgent.

Panel Upgrade FAQs for Englewood Homeowners

How do I know if I need a panel upgrade?
Common signs include breakers that trip frequently, lights that dim when you run appliances, a panel with fewer than 200 amps, fuse boxes, or a panel that feels warm to the touch. Adding an EV charger, hot tub, or major appliance often requires upgrading first. We'll give you an honest assessment during your free estimate.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most 200A residential panel upgrades are completed in one day. We coordinate the utility disconnect and inspection, so you typically have power restored the same day. We'll confirm the timeline with you before we start.
Do you pull permits for panel upgrades?
Yes — always. A panel upgrade in Florida requires a permit and inspection by the local authority. Any contractor who skips the permit is putting your home's insurance, resale value, and safety at risk. We handle the permit from start to finish.
What size panel do most homes need?
Most modern homes run well on 200 amps. Homes with EV chargers, pools, whole-home generators, or large HVAC systems may benefit from 400A service. We'll review your current and planned loads during the estimate so you're not over- or under-buying capacity.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover the upgrade?
Some insurance providers require a panel upgrade if you have a known defective brand (like Federal Pacific or Zinsco) or a fuse box. The upgrade itself typically isn't covered, but it can lower your premiums and is often required to maintain coverage. Check with your insurer — we're happy to provide documentation they may need.
