Electrical Panel Upgrades

Many Belleair homes built during the primary development era of the 1960s through 1980s carry original 100 to 150-amp service panels that are undersized for today’s electrical loads. EV chargers alone require a dedicated 240-volt, 50-amp circuit that many of these original panels cannot accommodate without upgrades. M.R.
