Why Fort Lauderdale homes upgrade their panels
Many mid-century Fort Lauderdale homes still run on original 100-amp panels, and waterfront properties face another problem: salt air corrodes breakers, bus bars and outdoor disconnects faster than inland. Typical homes we work on here include historic and mid-century homes in neighborhoods like Victoria Park and Rio Vista, waterfront homes along the Las Olas Isles, and condo towers downtown.
100A to 200A — or up to 400A
A 200-amp service gives most Fort Lauderdale homes room for EV charging, modern AC, kitchen upgrades and pool equipment. Larger homes with pools, spas and two EVs may need 320 or 400 amps. We always start with a load calculation so the upgrade matches your real needs — not a one-size-fits-all number.

FAQ
Panel Upgrade in Fort Lauderdale: FAQ
How long does a panel upgrade take in Fort Lauderdale?
Most panel replacements are completed in one day once the permit is approved; service upgrades that involve the meter and FPL can take one to two days.
Do I need a 200-amp or 400-amp service?
A load calculation answers that. Most homes are well served by 200 amps; very large homes with pools, spas and multiple EVs may need 320–400 amps.
Who issues the permit in Fort Lauderdale?
Permits are issued by the City of Fort Lauderdale's Building Services Division. We file it, schedule the inspection and coordinate with FPL when required.

Yes. We coordinate with building management and associations for access, shutdowns and approvals, and we work inside units as well as on shared equipment when the association authorizes it.
