Cost in Florida
The line items below are national 2026 planning ranges for this work. Local variation in Florida comes from labour rates, permit fees and access — not from the job description.
| Work | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 100A to 200A panel replacement | $1,300 – $4,000 | The national band for a straightforward swap |
| Panel replacement with meter base work | $1,900 – $4,800 | Adds meter socket and mast parts |

| Sub-panel replacement (garage, shop, outbuilding) | $1,200 – $2,800 | Feeder condition drives the range |
| Permit and inspection fees | $50 – $500 | Set by the local authority, passed through |
What the work involves
- New panel enclosure, main breaker and a full set of new breakers
- Re-termination of every branch circuit onto the new bus
- Grounding and bonding brought up to current code
- Permit filing and the municipal inspection
- Old panel removal and haul-away, plus labelling of every circuit
What drives the price in Florida
Panel prices moved sharply after 2020 and vary heavily by brand availability, which is why two quotes for the same job can differ by hundreds of dollars.
If the meter base, mast or service entrance conductors are damaged, the job grows beyond a simple panel swap — that scope is only visible once the cover comes off.

Electrical Panel Replacement in Florida — FAQ
What should I do while waiting for an electrician?
For an urgent fault, switch the affected circuit off at the panel and leave it off. If the panel itself is hot, smoking, sparking or wet, do not touch it and keep everyone away from it. Never pull a meter or open a panel, and never pour water on anything electrical.
How do I know the electrician is licensed?
Ask for the licence number before work begins and confirm it with the licensing authority for your state or municipality. Electrical licensing is handled at state level in most of the country and at city or county level in a few large metro areas, so the correct place to verify depends on where you live. A licensed contractor will give you the number, and usually the insurance certificate too, without being asked twice.
Who does electrical panel replacement in Florida?
Electrical panel replacement in Florida is performed by licensed electrical contractors working within their own local service areas. The network covers 1,106 ZIP codes here, and requests are routed by address rather than by city name.
Do you charge for estimates?
Many contractors give a free estimate on planned work such as a panel replacement, charger install or rewire, while diagnostic visits for an unknown fault usually carry a trip fee that is often credited toward the repair. The exact policy varies by contractor, and it should be confirmed on the phone before anyone travels.
Does electrical panel replacement need a permit in Florida?
Permit requirements depend on the job and on your city or county, not just the state. Work involving a panel, a service change, new circuits or wet locations almost always needs one, and the inspection is carried out locally. Ask the contractor to confirm and to file it.
What does electrical panel replacement cost in Florida?
The national 2026 range for this work is $1,300 to $4,000. Expect Florida pricing to sit somewhere in that band, adjusted for local labour rates, permit fees and how accessible the wiring is. Ask for a flat price per task rather than an hourly estimate.
Which cities in Florida request this most?
The highest volume comes from Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and the surrounding suburbs, which is where the densest housing stock and the oldest wiring systems tend to be.
How quickly can someone get here?
Timing depends on the local contractor schedule and the nature of the call. Genuine emergencies are usually prioritised, often with same-day or overnight response, while planned work is typically scheduled within days rather than hours.
