    Who Handles the Permit and FPL Disconnect for a Panel Replacement?

    One of the most common questions we hear about panel replacement in Florida is: who handles the permit and utility disconnect?

    Permits

    We handle the entire permitting process. We pull the permit, perform the work to code, and coordinate the inspection.

    Utility Coordination

    We coordinate the utility disconnect and reconnect with your power company. You do not need to contact them yourself.

    What to Expect on Installation Day

    Power will be out for 4 to 8 hours. We schedule the work to minimize disruption and keep you informed throughout the process.
