Electrical panel replacement in Lake Mary, FL
Most Lake Mary panel calls start with a new EV, and more often than not the answer is that the existing panel can carry the charger without a service upgrade.
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.
Four things that are only true in Lake Mary.
If you could swap the city name out of this page and it would still be accurate, it should not exist. Here is what actually changes here.
Load calculation before anything
The usual pattern is a 2001 house with a 150A panel and an installer who wants to sell a service upgrade. A load calculation answers it honestly, and the estimate is free. If the answer is no, we say no.
When the upgrade is real
If the calculation shows the panel is genuinely full, a replacement is the honest answer. Interior swaps run $2,400 to $3,200; exterior meter-main combos run $3,200 to $4,400 because the meter can and mast come with them.
Sound wiring, minimum-sized panels
Lake Mary's 1990s–2000s homes in Heathrow, Timacuan and Lake Mary Woods have sound wiring. The panels were sized to the minimum of their day, so this is a capacity job here, not remediation.
Duke and the City of Lake Mary
Duke Energy serves all of Lake Mary and releases the meter on a service change. Permits go through the City of Lake Mary Building Department. We schedule around Duke's window rather than promising a date we do not control.

Real reviews, word for word.
"The electrician Keylin was very professional and helpful. Did a great job for my EV charger outlet installation."
"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."
"Talking with anyone I mean anyone at this company is like talking with a best friend."
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.
