What moves the price.
Scope
Outlets, switches, and fixtures are the small end; panel upgrades, EV chargers, and whole-home rewires are the big end.
Panel capacity & age
Older 100–150 A panels (and recalled brands like Federal Pacific or Zinsco) often need replacement before the house can take modern loads.
Access & code items
Grounding/bonding updates, AFCI/GFCI requirements, and hard-to-reach runs add hours — permits and inspection are part of any panel job.
The Miami factor.
Permits & code
Miami-Dade and Broward sit in Florida’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) — the strictest wind code in the country. Exterior products need a Miami-Dade NOA or Florida Product Approval, and county/municipal building departments enforce it.
Climate & materials
HVHZ design speeds reach 175+ mph, and salt exposure from both coasts is constant — product approvals, corrosion-rated hardware, and engineered installs are the norm, not the upgrade.
The market
The Miami–Fort Lauderdale–West Palm market is Florida’s largest and most competitive; HVHZ-approved materials cost more, which is why quotes here run about 12% above the national average.
