How a electrical panel upgrade visit runs
- Load calculationWe add up the real demand of the home, not a guess, so you buy the service size you actually need.
- Permit and utility coordinationWe file the paperwork and book the disconnect and reconnect with the power company.
- Changeover dayPower is off for part of one day. The old panel comes out, the new service goes in, every circuit gets landed and labelled.
- Inspection and sign-offThe inspector visits, the utility reconnects, and you get a directory that tells you what every breaker does.

Recent Lake City feedback
Storm took out the meter can and the mast. They made it safe the same night and had the utility reconnected within two days.
Smart switches I bought needed a neutral my 1970s boxes did not have. They pulled neutrals to the three that mattered and fitted no-neutral switches on the rest. Cheaper than I expected.
Breaker had been tripping for months. Two other electricians replaced the breaker. These guys loaded the circuit until the fault showed up, found a scorched backstab in a bedroom outlet, and it has not tripped since.
Electrical Panel Upgrade in Lake City: questions
How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Lake City?
Most Lake City panel upgrades land in a wide band depending on service size, whether the meter can and mast are being replaced, and how far the panel sits from the meter. We give you a fixed written price after looking at the service, not a phone estimate that changes later.
How long will my power be off during a panel upgrade?
Plan on a large part of one day. We stage as much as possible before the utility pulls the meter, so the actual dead time is usually a matter of hours rather than the whole visit.
Do I need 200 amp service in Lake City?
If you are running central air, an electric range, a dryer, a pool pump or an EV charger, 100 amp service gets tight fast. We run the load calculation for your Lake City home and tell you honestly whether the upgrade earns its money.
Do you replace Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels?
Yes, and they are the most common reason we get called. Those panels have a known record of breakers that fail to trip, and many insurers now ask for them to be replaced.
