Electrical Panel Upgrades in Cape Coral

Is It Time to Upgrade Your Panel?

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home's power system. Many Cape Coral homes still run on 100-amp service — or worse, panels that have been recalled for fire risk. As households add EV chargers, pool equipment, mini-splits, and standby generators, those older panels simply can't keep up safely.

An upgrade to a modern 200-amp panel gives you the capacity you need, adds protection against arc faults and surges, and brings your home up to current code — something insurers and buyers increasingly look for.

Warning Signs You Shouldn't Ignore

• Breakers that trip frequently or won't reset
• Lights that flicker or dim when appliances kick on
• A warm panel, scorch marks, or a burning smell near the box
• Reliance on power strips because you're out of outlets
• A fuse box or a panel brand known to be problematic
• Planning to add an EV charger, generator, or major appliance

What a Panel Upgrade Includes

• On-site assessment of your current load and future needs
• Permit pulled with the City of Cape Coral / Lee County
• Coordination with FPL for any meter or service disconnect
• New 200-amp panel with labeled, properly sized breakers
• Modern arc-fault (AFCI) and ground-fault (GFCI) protection
• Whole-home surge protection option for storm season
• Final inspection sign-off and a clean job site
