Electrical Panel Upgrade and Replacement Done to Code
Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's electrical system — every circuit runs through it, and every safety device depends on it. When that panel is undersized, outdated, or damaged, everything downstream is at risk. Trophy Electric performs complete electrical panel upgrades and replacements across South Florida, swapping tired, overloaded, or unsafe panels for a modern service that can carry the loads a current home actually puts on it.
An electrical panel upgrade is one of the higher-stakes jobs in residential electrical work. It involves the main service, the utility connection, and often a meter change — work that has to be coordinated with the power company, permitted, and inspected. Done poorly, a panel replacement leaves loose connections, mislabeled circuits, and hidden hazards behind a closed cover. Trophy Electric brings three generations of master electrician discipline to every panel: clean terminations, correctly torqued lugs, properly labeled circuits, and a job that passes inspection because it was built right, not because it scraped by.
Signs You Need an Electrical Panel Upgrade
Most homeowners don't think about their panel until something goes wrong. These are the signs it's time for an upgrade or replacement:
Breakers that trip repeatedly
a sign the panel or circuits are overloaded for your current usage.
A fuse box or a panel under 100 amps
common in older South Florida homes and undersized for modern living.
Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or other recalled or obsolete panels
known safety concerns that insurers and inspectors flag.
No room for new circuits
you want to add a generator, an EV charger, a pool, or an addition, and the panel is full.
Signs of overheating
scorching, a burning smell, warm breakers, or discoloration around the panel.
Flickering lights or dimming
when large appliances start up.
Aluminum wiring or a panel
that's simply decades old and past its service life.
If any of these describe your home, don't wait. An overloaded or failing panel is a genuine fire risk. Call 954-995-9375 — Trophy Electric offers 24/7 emergency service for panel and service issues that can't wait.
Upgrading from 100 Amps to 200 Amps (and Beyond)
The single most common electrical panel upgrade we perform is a service change from 100 amps to 200 amps. Homes built decades ago were wired for a fraction of today's electrical load — before central air ran constantly, before EV chargers, before every room had electronics. A 200-amp service gives your home the capacity it needs today with headroom for what you add next.
Trophy Electric handles the full 100A-to-200A+ upgrade: coordinating the disconnect with the utility, replacing the meter and main as needed, installing the new panel, transferring and re-labeling every circuit, and passing final inspection. For larger homes or properties adding significant load, we install 400-amp services and sub-panels where the load calculation calls for it.
Our Electrical Panel Upgrade Process
1. Inspection and load calculation
We evaluate your existing panel, service size, and wiring, and calculate the load your home actually needs — so the new panel is sized for reality, not just to match the old one.
2. Utility coordination and permitting
A service upgrade requires coordinating the power shutoff and reconnection with the utility, and pulling the electrical permit. As a licensed Florida master electrician, Trophy Electric manages that coordination and permitting directly.
3. Panel replacement and circuit transfer
We install the new panel and main, transfer every circuit, correct any unsafe connections we find, and label the panel clearly so future work is safe and simple.
4. Inspection and walkthrough
We schedule and pass the inspection, then walk you through the new panel so you understand your service.
Commercial Panel Upgrades and Service Changes
Trophy Electric upgrades commercial panels and services as well as residential. Aging commercial buildings, tenant build-outs, and added equipment routinely outgrow their original service. We handle three-phase service changes, sub-panel installations, and panel upgrades for offices, retail, restaurants, car washes, and fuel facilities — coordinated around your operating hours. See our
commercial electrical services for the full scope. Our background in
gas station and fuel-facility electrical work means we handle demanding commercial services other contractors won't.

What Our Customers Say
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in South Florida?
Cost depends on the new service size, whether the meter and main need replacing, the condition of your existing wiring, and utility coordination. Trophy Electric provides a detailed free estimate after inspecting your panel and running a load calculation. Call 954-995-9375.
How do I know if I need a panel upgrade or just a repair?
If your panel trips constantly, is under 100 amps, is a recalled or obsolete model, shows signs of overheating, or has no room for new circuits, it likely needs upgrading rather than patching. We'll inspect it and tell you honestly which one your situation calls for.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most residential 100A-to-200A upgrades are completed in a day, though the power is off for part of it and utility coordination affects scheduling. We give you a firm timeline in your estimate.
Do you handle the permit and the power company coordination?
Yes. A panel upgrade requires an electrical permit, inspection, and coordination with the utility for the disconnect and reconnect. As a licensed Florida master electrician, Trophy Electric manages all of it.
Is it safe to keep using an old or overloaded panel?
An overloaded, recalled, or overheating panel is a real fire risk and should be addressed promptly. If you notice scorching, a burning smell, or warm breakers, stop using the affected circuits and call us — we offer 24/7 emergency service.
Can you upgrade a commercial electrical panel?
Yes. Trophy Electric performs commercial panel upgrades and three-phase service changes for offices, retail, restaurants, car washes, and fuel facilities, coordinated around your operating schedule.
