Naples has some of the oldest housing stock in Collier County sitting right next to some of the newest — and the older half is full of panels that are past their service life. If your home in Old Naples, Park Shore, Pelican Bay, Golden Gate, or the Vineyards still runs on its original panel, there’s a decent chance it’s undersized for the way you live now, and a real chance your insurance carrier has opinions about it. We replace and upgrade panels across Naples with permits, inspection, and paperwork handled.
When a Panel Needs to Go
- Insurance letters — Federal Pacific (FPE) and Zinsco panels are routinely flagged and non-renewed by Florida insurers
- Breakers that trip constantly — or worse, never trip at all
- 100-amp service in a house that’s grown past it — pool equipment, EV charger, generator, addition
- Corrosion — Gulf air works its way into coastal panels and eats bus bars
- Warm panels, buzzing, flickering — the signs everyone ignores until they can’t
What It Costs
A like-for-like panel replacement typically runs $1,500 to $3,000. Moving from 100-amp to 200-amp service usually lands between $2,500 and $6,000 depending on the meter can, mast, and grounding work involved. You get a firm quote before we start — the price doesn’t drift after the wall opens up.
Permits and Inspections in Collier County
Panel replacements in Naples are permitted and inspected. We pull the Collier County permit, coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with FPL, and meet the inspector. If the panel swap is part of an insurance issue, we provide the documentation your carrier needs after the passed inspection.

My insurance company flagged my electrical panel. Now what?
Florida insurers routinely refuse to write or renew policies on homes with Federal Pacific (FPE) or Zinsco panels — both have documented failure-to-trip problems. We replace them constantly. You get a modern panel, a passed inspection, and paperwork your insurer will accept.
Do I need 200-amp service for a generator or EV charger?
If your Naples home has 100-amp service and you’re adding a standby generator, EV charger, or pool equipment — usually yes. Doing it during a panel replacement is much cheaper than doing it as a second project later.
