Frequently asked questions

Do I need a permit to replace an electrical panel?

Yes, always. An electrical permit is required, a licensed electrical contractor must perform the work in most Florida jurisdictions, and the utility will not reconnect service until the final inspection passes.

How long does a panel upgrade take?

The physical work is usually one day with power off for 4-8 hours. Utility disconnect scheduling and inspection generally stretch the total to one to four weeks.
