Electrical Panel Upgrade (100A to 200A)

Signs Your 100-Amp Panel Needs an Upgrade

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's power system. These warning signs indicate it's time to upgrade to 200 amps.

Frequently Tripping Breakers

When breakers trip regularly—especially when running AC, appliances, or multiple devices—your panel can't handle the load. This is the #1 sign you've outgrown 100 amps.

Planning an EV Charger Installation

Level 2 EV chargers require 40-50 amps of dedicated capacity. Most 100-amp panels don't have room for this addition without overloading the system.

Home Addition or Major Renovation

Adding square footage, a pool, hot tub, or second AC unit requires additional electrical capacity that 100-amp service typically cannot provide.

Outdated or Recalled Panel Brands

Federal Pacific, Zinsco, and certain Pushmatic panels are known fire hazards. Insurance companies often require replacement regardless of capacity.

Fuse Box Instead of Circuit Breakers

If your home still has screw-in fuses, you're decades behind modern safety standards. Fuse boxes cannot be safely upgraded—complete replacement is required.

Insurance or Sale Requirements

Many insurance companies won't cover homes with panels older than 30 years. Real estate transactions often require panel certification or upgrade before closing.

Our 200-Amp Panel Upgrade Process

1

Load Calculation & Evaluation

We assess your current and future electrical needs—existing appliances, planned additions, EV chargers, pool equipment—to ensure 200 amps truly fits your situation.

2

Permit & FPL Coordination

We handle all permit applications with your local building department and coordinate with Florida Power & Light for the required service upgrade and meter change.

3

Panel Installation Day

On installation day, FPL disconnects power in the morning. We remove your old panel, install the new 200-amp panel with properly labeled breakers, and prepare for reconnection.

4

Inspection & Final Approval

We coordinate the building department inspection. Once approved, FPL reconnects your service—typically the same day. Most upgrades are completed in 6-8 hours.

5

Documentation & Warranty

You receive all inspection documentation, warranty information, and a panel diagram showing each circuit. This documentation is valuable for insurance and future home sales.

Why Upgrade to 200-Amp Electrical Service

Future-Proof Your Home

200-amp service handles today's demands and tomorrow's additions. EV chargers, heat pumps, home additions, and smart home technology all require more power than older homes provide.

End Frustrating Breaker Trips

Stop walking to the garage every time you run the microwave and hair dryer together. Adequate capacity means your electrical system works invisibly, as it should.

Insurance & Resale Value

Updated electrical panels are a major selling point. Many insurance companies offer better rates for homes with modern 200-amp panels and whole-home surge protection.

Enhanced Safety

Modern panels include better overcurrent protection, ground fault capability, and arc-fault detection options that older panels simply don't offer.

Why South Florida Homes Need 200-Amp Service

Florida homes face unique electrical demands. Year-round air conditioning, pool pumps, dehumidifiers, and hurricane season power needs quickly overwhelm 100-amp panels that were standard in homes built before 2000. Add an EV charger, home office equipment, or kitchen renovation, and you'll exceed safe capacity. Upgrading to 200 amps eliminates these constraints while adding modern safety features.

Panel upgrades in Florida require coordination with your utility company and local building department. Solomon Electric handles everything—permit applications, FPL scheduling, inspection coordination, and final documentation.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to the most common questions about our electrical services and availability.

If your home still has a fuse box, a Federal Pacific (FPE) or Zinsco panel, or if your breakers trip frequently when using appliances, you likely need an upgrade. Insurance companies often require replacing panels older than 30 years. If you're planning to add an EV charger, pool pump, or additional AC unit, 200-amp service is essential.
Most residential panel upgrades from 100A to 200A are completed in one day—typically 6-8 hours from FPL disconnect to power restoration. We coordinate with FPL to minimize your outage time.
Yes, absolutely. Florida law requires permits for panel changes. We handle all permit applications with your local building department (Miami-Dade, Broward, or municipal) and coordinate the required inspection. Never hire an electrician who suggests skipping permits—it's illegal and can void your insurance.
Level 2 EV chargers typically require a 40-50 amp circuit. With a 200-amp panel, you'll have plenty of capacity for EV charging plus future additions. We can install your EV charger circuit during the panel upgrade for maximum efficiency.
These panel brands have documented failure rates where breakers don't trip during overcurrent conditions—the exact moment they're supposed to protect your home from fire. While not officially recalled, they're widely considered fire hazards. Most insurance companies require replacement. We recommend upgrading these panels regardless of age.
Yes. Panel upgrades require FPL to disconnect power, install a new meter base, and reconnect service. We coordinate all FPL scheduling as part of our service—you don't need to make separate arrangements.
