Your home’s electrical panel is the command center for all power flowing through your Miami property. When you need a new electrical panel or breaker box installation, you’re looking at a project that directly impacts your family’s safety and your home’s electrical capacity.
Most homes in Miami-Dade County built before 1990 still use 100-amp panels. But today’s smart homes need more power. Your pool pump alone draws 15-20 amps. Add an electric vehicle charger, and you’re looking at another 40-50 amps. The average cost to install a new electrical panel in Miami ranges from $1,200 to $3,500 for a standard 200-amp upgrade.
And here’s what most homeowners don’t realize – Florida’s electrical code requires specific grounding standards for our hurricane-prone region. Your new electrical panel installation must meet these updated requirements, or you’ll face issues during your next home inspection.

We handle everything from basic breaker box installation to complex smart electrical panel installation with load shedding capabilities. Your new electrical panel will be sized correctly for your home’s current and future needs.
Most Miami homes benefit from upgrading to 200-amp service, though larger properties might need 300 or 400 amps. Our electricians calculate your home’s actual load requirements before recommending the right panel size.
Why Us?
We’ve worked through every electrical code change, every hurricane season, and every type of home from Aventura condos to Pinecrest estates.
Your electrical breaker box installation starts with a proper load calculation. We measure your actual electrical usage – not just guess based on your home’s square footage. This step prevents oversized panels that waste money and undersized panels that trip breakers constantly.
Most electricians skip the ground wire upgrade. We don’t. Every panel installation includes new grounding to meet current Florida electrical code. This isn’t just about passing inspection – it’s about protecting your family from electrical faults during our intense thunderstorm season.
And we handle all permits through Miami-Dade County. The electrical permit alone costs $75-150, but we include that in our flat-rate pricing. No surprise fees when the project’s done.
FAQ
How much does it cost to install a breaker box?
Installing a new electrical panel in Miami typically costs $1,200-3,500 depending on amperage and your home’s existing wiring. Homes that need complete rewiring can reach $8,000-12,000 for the full project.
How long does electrical panel installation take?
Most breaker panel installation projects take 6-8 hours. But older homes might need two days if we’re upgrading the main service wire from the street meter. We’ll turn your power off for 2-4 hours during the actual panel swap.
Do I need a permit for electrical breaker box installation?
Yes. Miami-Dade County requires permits for all electrical panel work. We handle the permit application and schedule the required inspections. The inspector checks our wiring, grounding, and circuit labeling before you can use your new panel.
Can I install a new electrical panel myself?
Florida law requires licensed electricians for all electrical panel installation work. DIY panel installation violates electrical code and voids your homeowner’s insurance. Plus, one mistake with 200-amp service can be deadly.
What’s the difference between electrical panel installation and breaker box installation?
Panel, breaker box, load center – they’re all the electrical distribution point where power enters your home and gets divided into individual circuits through circuit breakers.
