Electrical Panel Upgrades Across Hillsborough County, FL
Hillsborough County’s growth in Brandon, Riverview, and Valrico is putting real strain on older electrical panels. EV chargers, pool equipment, and larger AC systems draw more power than a home built even 15-20 years ago was designed to handle, and a panel that was fine for its original owner often can’t keep up with today’s demands.
Three Guys Master Tradesmen inspects your panel’s condition and capacity before recommending an upgrade, then handles the electrical work, permitting, and county inspection for a 150 or 200-amp replacement.
Do I need a bigger panel to add an EV charger?
Often, yes. A Level 2 EV charger draws significant continuous power, and many older 100-amp panels don’t have the spare capacity for one without an upgrade. We can check your panel’s available capacity before you buy a charger.
How much does a panel upgrade cost in Hillsborough County?
Cost depends on your current panel size, the amperage you’re upgrading to, and how much of the existing wiring needs to be brought up to code. We give you a firm price after inspecting your setup, not a phone estimate.
Is a panel upgrade covered by homeowners insurance?
The upgrade itself typically isn’t covered, but having an outdated panel can affect your insurance eligibility or rate in the first place. Some homeowners upgrade specifically to satisfy an insurer’s requirement.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most residential panel upgrades take about a day, with a portion of that time as a planned power outage during the swap. We coordinate the utility disconnect/reconnect and inspection to keep it as quick as possible.
