Small jobs (outlets, switches, fixtures, a dedicated circuit) typically run $150–$800, while a service-panel upgrade runs about $1,800–$4,000. Bigger projects — whole-home rewires, generators, EV chargers — are quoted individually. Use the quote tool above for a fast range on your job.

Common signs: a fuse box or a panel under 150 amps, breakers that trip often, flickering lights, or not enough capacity for modern loads (AC, EV charger, pool pump). Many older Tampa homes also have recalled brand panels (Federal Pacific, Zinsco) that are a known fire risk and should be replaced. A pro can inspect and tell you if it's needed.

It can be. Occasional trips are the breaker doing its job, but frequent tripping, warm outlets, a burning smell, or flickering across the house can signal an overloaded circuit, loose wiring, or a failing panel — all real fire risks. It's worth having a licensed electrician diagnose it rather than resetting and hoping.

Both are popular here for good reason. Florida is the lightning capital of the U.S., so whole-home surge protection at the panel is cheap insurance for your electronics and AC. And with hurricane-season outages, a standby generator (or at least a transfer-switch-ready interlock) keeps your fridge, AC, and well running. Local Tampa pros install both.

Yes — a Level 2 home charger needs a dedicated 240V circuit, and sometimes a panel with spare capacity. Cost depends on the distance from your panel to the parking spot and whether the panel can handle the extra load. The quote tool can get you a ballpark.

In Florida, panel work, new circuits, and most rewiring require a permit and a licensed electrician — it protects you on insurance and at resale, and DIY electrical is a leading cause of house fires. Every Tampa pro we match you with is licensed and insured and pulls the permit as part of the job.
