100-Amp to 200-Amp Service, Handled Cleanly in Fort Lauderdale
Plenty of Fort Lauderdale homes still run on 100-amp service and decades-old panels that were never meant to carry today's loads. Between EV chargers, modern AC, and insurance requirements, a 200-amp upgrade is often overdue.
Matthew Gulino is a third-generation electrician, and his portfolio goes well beyond routine residential work. It includes electrical work at Pier 66 Marina in Fort Lauderdale, Island Gardens in Miami, and petroleum and hazardous location work built to Class I, Division 1 standards. For a panel upgrade, that discipline shows up in tidy conductor terminations, correct grounding and bonding, and coordination with FPL and the inspector so the swap goes smoothly.
Trophy Electric is based in Boca Raton and covers Fort Lauderdale across Broward County. We take panel upgrades calls in Victoria Park, Rio Vista, and Las Olas Isles, and out toward Las Olas Boulevard and the New River. Fort Lauderdale mixes historic pre-1970 homes in Victoria Park and Rio Vista with waterfront properties along the Intracoastal, and salt air is hard on older electrical equipment.
A panel upgrade covers more than a new breaker box. Trophy Electric handles service upgrades from 100 amps to 200 amps or larger, Federal Pacific and Zinsco replacements, aluminum wiring remediation, grounding and bonding updates, and four-point insurance inspection fixes. We coordinate the meter swap with FPL, pull the permit, and make sure the finished work passes inspection.
Every panel upgrade job that needs a permit gets one, pulled through the City of Fort Lauderdale or Broward County building department and inspected to National Electric Code. We also work in Wilton Manors, Oakland Park, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, and Plantation nearby. Free estimates, a licensed master electrician on site, and 24/7 emergency service across Broward County.
What We Do in Fort Lauderdale
What a Panel Upgrade Actually Covers
Electrical Panel Upgrade and Replacement (100A to 200A)
Plenty of Fort Lauderdale homes still run on 100-amp service and decades-old panels that were never meant to carry today's loads. Between EV chargers, modern AC, and insurance requirements, a 200-amp upgrade is often overdue.
Services include a whole-home load evaluation, 100A to 200A (or larger) service upgrades, main breaker panel replacement, meter can replacement, grounding and bonding to current code, FPL coordination for the service change, and permit and inspection through the City of Fort Lauderdale or Broward County building department.
Federal Pacific and Zinsco Panel Replacement
Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels are known safety and insurance liabilities, and they turn up constantly in Fort Lauderdale. When we find one, replacement is almost always the right call, and we handle it end to end. Older homes in Victoria Park and Rio Vista routinely run 100-amp service that is overdue for an upgrade.
Services include identification and replacement of Federal Pacific (Stab-Lok) and Zinsco panels, breaker and bus inspection, code-compliant panel installation, circuit labeling and cleanup, and coordination of the utility disconnect and reconnect.
Aluminum Wiring Remediation and Four-Point Inspection Fixes
A lot of Fort Lauderdale panel work is driven by insurance. Four-point inspections flag old panels, undersized service, and aluminum branch wiring, and Trophy Electric corrects those findings so the policy can be written or renewed. Older homes in Victoria Park and Rio Vista routinely run 100-amp service that is overdue for an upgrade.
Services include aluminum branch wiring remediation with approved connectors, correction of items flagged on four-point insurance inspections, grounding and bonding updates, GFCI and AFCI additions where required, and documentation for the insurer.
Why Trophy Electric
What Makes Us Different in Fort Lauderdale
We Do Work Most Contractors Won't
Hazardous location electrical certification isn't something most Boca Raton electricians carry. Trophy Electric does — and it's what makes us the call for marina fuel systems, petroleum facilities, and any project where standard electrical licensing isn't enough.
Matthew Learned This Trade Before He Could Drive
As a third-generation electrician, Matthew Gulino grew up in the trade. By the time he founded Trophy Electric, he had already completed international fuel system installations, earned his Florida Master Electrician license, and logged years on high-stakes commercial projects. That background comes with every job we take on.
No Subcontractors, No Surprises
Trophy Electric is a family-owned operation. You'll speak directly with the people doing the work — no call centers, no handoffs to a subcontracted crew. That means clearer communication and direct accountability from start to finish.
Permitted, Inspected, Code Compliant
Every Trophy Electric installation in Boca Raton meets National Electric Code requirements and Palm Beach County jurisdiction standards. We handle permitting ourselves and see every job through final inspection. Code compliance isn't a checkbox for us — it's the baseline.
Available When It's Actually an Emergency
Electrical failures don't follow business hours. Trophy Electric offers 24/7 emergency electrical service throughout Boca Raton and Palm Beach County for commercial, marina, and residential clients who can't afford to wait until Monday morning.
A Track Record Worth Mentioning
Our completed projects include Pier 66 Marina in Fort Lauderdale, Island Gardens in Miami, IGY Yacht Haven Grande, and marina fuel system installations in the Caribbean. We bring that level of experience to every project we take on in Boca Raton, regardless of size.

What Fort Lauderdale Panel Upgrade Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions About Electrical Services in Fort Lauderdale
What does an electrical panel upgrade in Fort Lauderdale actually involve?
We replace your existing panel, and often the meter can, with a modern main breaker panel, typically moving 100-amp service up to 200 amps. That includes a load evaluation, coordinating the utility disconnect and reconnect with FPL, updating grounding and bonding to current code, relabeling circuits, and passing inspection. Older homes in Victoria Park and Rio Vista routinely run 100-amp service that is overdue for an upgrade.
How do I know if my Fort Lauderdale home needs a panel upgrade?
Common signs in Fort Lauderdale homes include 100-amp or smaller service, a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel, breakers that trip often, no room for new circuits, or a four-point inspection that flagged the panel. Adding an EV charger, generator, or major AC is often the trigger too. We can evaluate and tell you honestly whether an upgrade is needed.
Do you handle the panel upgrade permit and FPL coordination in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. A panel or service upgrade requires a permit, pulled through the City of Fort Lauderdale or Broward County building department, plus coordination with FPL for the disconnect and reconnect. We handle the permit, the utility scheduling, and the inspection as part of the job.
Can you replace a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, and we do a lot of them in older Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods. Both brands are known safety and insurance liabilities, and replacement is almost always the right call. We handle the permit, the utility coordination, and the inspection as part of the swap.
Will a panel upgrade clear my four-point insurance inspection in Fort Lauderdale?
In most cases, yes. If your insurer flagged the panel, the service size, or aluminum wiring on a four-point, replacing the panel and correcting the related items resolves the finding. We provide documentation of the work for your insurer.
How long does a panel upgrade take in Fort Lauderdale?
Most Fort Lauderdale panel upgrades are a one-day job. The power is off for part of the day while we swap the panel and coordinate the FPL disconnect and reconnect. Larger service changes or meter relocations can take longer.
Do I need a panel upgrade before adding an EV charger or generator in Fort Lauderdale?
Often, yes. Many older Fort Lauderdale homes do not have the spare capacity for a Level 2 EV charger or a standby generator. A load calculation tells us for sure; if capacity is short, a 200-amp upgrade or sub-panel comes first so the new load is safe.
