Unpermitted work is a deal-killer at home sale, can void insurance, and Florida inspectors routinely require it to be redone if discovered.

Upgrade if your panel is a recalled brand (Federal Pacific, Zinsco, Pushmatic), if you only have 100A service in a home over 1,800 sq ft, or before adding heavy loads (EV charger, pool heater, whole-home generator, hot tub). 200A service is the modern Florida standard for most single-family homes.
Should I get a whole-home surge protector in Florida?▾
Yes — Florida sees more lightning strikes per square mile than any other state. A whole-home surge protector at the panel ($350–$650 installed) plus point-of-use protection on TVs and computers is the single best protection against electronics damage from lightning, brownouts, and utility surges.
Are Florida electricians licensed?▾
