Electrical panel replacement in Tampa
ZIPs: 33602–33647 and nearby
Tampa's mid-century and 1970s–80s housing stock is where Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels still turn up – especially in older single-family neighborhoods and some condo buildings that have not been rewired.
What to watch for in Tampa
- Insurance and sales timelines. A 4-point inspection that names the panel brand can stall a purchase or renewal. Gather photos of the panel door label and interior before you call electricians.
- City vs unincorporated permits. Work inside the City of Tampa is permitted through the city; unincorporated Hillsborough County uses HillsGovHub. Your electrician should confirm which building department covers your address (Hillsborough County permits).
- Service upgrades. Many older Tampa homes still have 100-amp service. Replacing the panel is often paired with a 200-amp upgrade, which changes cost and utility coordination.
What to include in your enquiry
- ZIP and property type
- Panel brand if known (FPE / Stab-Lok, Zinsco, Sylvania, Challenger, Pushmatic, other)
- Whether insurance, a 4-point inspection or a sale deadline is involved
- Photos of the panel door and breakers if you can upload later by email to the electrician
