Do you work with FPL on service upgrades?

Yes. Commercial service upgrades require utility coordination—FPL must upgrade transformers, meters, and service drops for larger service sizes. We manage this coordination as part of our service, handling communication with FPL and scheduling their work.

What size panel does my business need?

Panel sizing depends on your electrical load—HVAC, lighting, equipment, and future growth plans. Common commercial sizes range from 200-800 amps (or larger for industrial). We perform load calculations to determine the right size for your specific needs.

We just bought a house in Pembroke Falls—the original owner never upgraded anything. Where do we start?

Many Pembroke Falls, Chapel Trail, and Pembroke Isles homes were built in the 1990s-2000s with 150-amp or 200-amp panels that are now 20-30 years old. We recommend starting with a full electrical safety inspection to identify immediate concerns, then prioritizing upgrades based on your needs. Common first projects include panel inspection, adding GFCI outlets where missing, and assessing capacity for EV chargers or pool equipment you may want to add.

Do I need HOA approval for electrical work in my Pembroke Pines community?

Most interior electrical work doesn't require HOA approval, but anything visible from outside—outdoor lighting, EV charger installations, generator placement—often does. We're familiar with the HOA requirements in Silver Lakes, Pembroke Isles, Chapel Trail, and other Pines communities. We'll advise you on what needs approval and can provide documentation your HOA may request as part of their review process.

Electrical Panel Demands

Many homes in established Pines neighborhoods like Pasadena Lakes may still have 100-amp or 150-amp panels that need upgrading to support modern HVAC and appliance loads.

Western Broward's exposure to summer thunderstorms makes whole-home surge protection a critical necessity for protecting expensive electronics and appliances.

Common Questions

Commercial Panel Installation & Upgrades FAQs for Pembroke Pines

How do I know if my commercial panel needs upgrading?

Signs include: frequent breaker trips, panel at full capacity (no room for new circuits), planning to add significant equipment or HVAC, panel over 25 years old, or utility company flagging capacity issues. We can perform a load analysis to determine if upgrading makes sense.

What's the difference between single-phase and three-phase service?

Single-phase service (common in smaller commercial) delivers power on two hot wires. Three-phase service uses three hot wires, providing more power delivery and the ability to run three-phase motors directly. Larger commercial equipment often requires three-phase power.

How long will installation take and will I lose power?

Timeline depends on project scope—simple panel changeouts may take a day, while service upgrades with utility work extend to weeks. Some work requires planned outages, but we minimize duration and often work during off-hours. We provide detailed schedules before starting.

Do commercial panels require permits?

Yes. All commercial electrical work in Florida requires permits and inspections. We handle all permitting and inspection coordination, ensuring your installation is legal and meets all code requirements.

Can you add a subpanel instead of replacing my main panel?

Often, yes. If your main panel has capacity but no physical space for new breakers, a subpanel provides additional circuit space. However, if the main panel itself is at capacity, a subpanel doesn't help—you need a main panel upgrade.

What about generator connections for my business?

Commercial generator installations require transfer switches integrated with your panel system. We can configure panels for generator connection, install automatic transfer switches, and ensure your critical circuits receive backup power during outages.
