What to expect

  • Load calculation first
  • Storm-damaged panels replaced
  • Permit and inspection

Reasons to Look at the Panel

  • Rust or corrosion inside the panel
  • Water intrusion or storm damage
  • A full panel with no room to grow
  • Adding a generator interlock, EV charger or pool heat pump
  • A panel brand an inspector or insurer flagged

Panels and Coastal Weather

Humidity and salt air are hard on electrical equipment, especially panels and meter bases mounted outside. A panel upgrade is also a good time to add a generator interlock and whole-home surge protection, two things many Bay County homeowners wanted after Hurricane Michael.

What Goes Into the Price of a Panel Upgrade

There's no one-size price: it depends on the new amperage, meter base and service changes, panel location, and the circuits being moved. Ask for a free estimate and get the price before work starts.

About Panel Upgrades

Do I need 200 amps?

Only if the load calculation says so. Pool equipment, EVs and heat pumps add up quickly.

Can a generator interlock go in at the same time?

Yes; it's a common add-on during a panel swap.

Who issues the permit?

Electrical permits come from the City of Panama City or Bay County, depending on where the house is (beach and other cities run their own). The electrical contractor pulls it and the work is inspected.

How long will I be without power?

Usually part of a day, coordinated with the utility.
