Electrical panel replacement, interior & exterior
Interior load centers and exterior meter-main combos, usually finished in one day. Free estimate — and if your panel is fine, we will tell you that instead of selling you one.
Interior swaps sit at the low end. Exterior meter-main combination panels cost more because the meter can, mast and riser come with them and the utility has to release the meter.
Signs you actually need this
If two or more of these describe your house, it is worth a free estimate. If none of them do, you probably do not need us yet — and we would rather tell you that now.
What size service does your home actually need?
Bigger isn't automatically better. Here's what each size realistically runs in a Central Florida house.
Older and smaller homes
1 AC gas cooking & water heat
Fine for a modest home with gas appliances. Tight once you add an EV, a pool heater or a second AC.
In-between homes
1 AC + pool common in 1980s–90s builds
Often enough. A load calculation tells us whether you can add a charger without going to 200.
Most Central Florida homes
2 ACs + EV with room to spare
The standard for an all-electric house: two AC systems, an electric range, a pool and a Level 2 charger.
Panels we install
Brands our supply houses stock and inspectors know. Breakers from recalled panels are never reused.
5 things set your price.
A garage load center is simpler than an exterior meter-main, which brings the meter can and riser with it.
Staying at 150 A or moving to 200 A changes the wire, the meter and the utility work.
OUC, Duke, FPL or KUA has to pull and reset the meter. It moves the schedule more than the price.
Corroded grounding, bootleg grounds or undersized feeders get fixed — priced before we touch them.
Already in our price, along with the inspection.
Real numbers.
Not "call for pricing."
Nobody else in this market publishes ranges, which is exactly why we do. You will get an exact number at the estimate — this is so you know whether to bother calling.
We price match any written quote from another licensed, insured contractor. Military, first responders and teachers get a discount — just say so on the phone, no coupon to find.
Three ways to fix a panel problem. Pros and cons of each.
Not every panel issue needs a new panel. Here's the honest range.
Repair or replace breakers
Replace the panel, same size
Service upgrade to 200 A
Have these ready for your panel estimate.
Five minutes now saves a second visit.
Brand and amperage, usually inside the door.
EV, pool heater, AC, addition — tell us the plan.
If the carrier asked for the replacement, we'll match their wording.
Outside wall or garage? It changes the job.
For exterior work, paint and visible conduit.
How the day goes
Most people's worry is not the price, it is not knowing what is about to happen in their house. So here it is.
Recent jobs, Panel replacement
Real reviews, word for word.
"After getting the run around from other electricians I came across In Phase. Wish I found them first."
"Unlike some of their competitors, they don't try to up-sell products that aren't strictly necessary."
"Our old panel dated back to 1984 and was overdue for replacement. We worked directly with Keylin, who was outstanding from start to finish."
"…tried to over charge for work that was not even necessary. In Phaze offered an alternative option at a fraction of the cost."
Commercial panels and services
Three-phase services, panel replacements for retail and offices, and upgrades for new equipment. Load study, permit and utility coordination handled, scheduled around your trading hours so you stay open.
We handle it. You handle nothing.
Panel and service changes require a permit and inspection everywhere in Central Florida, and the utility has to release and reconnect the meter. We coordinate both. Exterior meter-main work always involves the utility; interior swaps sometimes do not, which is part of why they cost less.
It surfaces at resale, in an insurance claim, and in an inspection you did not schedule.
If a bid is dramatically under ours, ask whether the permit is included. Usually that is the difference.
Filed, scheduled, and met. Customers thank our office by name in reviews for exactly this.
Straight answers.
What is the difference between an interior and exterior panel replacement?
An interior load center lives in a garage, hallway or closet and is usually the simpler job. An exterior meter-main combination panel sits on the outside wall with the meter, so it involves the meter can, the mast and the utility — more parts, more coordination, more cost.
Do I really need 200 amps?
Not always. If you are not adding load, a 100-amp service in good condition can be fine. We do a load calculation first — if the answer is no, we say no.
How long is the power off?
Typically six to eight hours in one day. We schedule it in the morning so you are back on by dinner.
Who pulls the permit?
We do. Our office files it, schedules the inspection, and meets the inspector. You handle nothing.
Will you patch the wall?
Yes. If we open drywall we close it. That is part of the job, not a change order.
Is a Federal Pacific panel really dangerous?
Stab-Lok breakers have a documented failure-to-trip rate. We will show you what is in your panel and let you decide with real information.
Does this help my insurance?
Often. Many Florida carriers surcharge or refuse policies on fuse boxes and known-defect panels. Ask your agent before you schedule.
What is the warranty?
One year on all labor, plus the manufacturer warranty on the panel and breakers.
Do I need a surge protector with a new panel?
Yes. Under the electrical code Florida uses, a new or replaced service needs whole-home surge protection. We include it in the quote so there's no surprise at inspection.
Can I replace my own panel?
We strongly advise against it. Panel work means pulling the meter, which only the utility can do, plus a permit and inspection. Mistakes here start fires.
Which panel brand is best?
Square D, Eaton and Siemens are all solid. The install matters more — correct torque, proper grounding and clearly labeled circuits. We pick brands with parts that will be easy to get for decades.
