Take a look at the work we do
These are our own installs. Look at how the wire is run, how the breakers are set, and how the box is left when we close the door — that is the standard your panel gets.
Andrew Sutton, and the license in his name.
The license on this page is not a company badge — it is his. He opens the panel, tells you what is in it, and puts his name to the work that follows.
Andrew Sutton — Shockwave ElectricElectrical Contractor #EC13016151

Four steps. We pull the permit.
A panel change is not a same-afternoon job. Anyone who says it is, is skipping something.
We look
A licensed electrician opens the panel and checks the service, the bus, the breakers.
You get it in writing
Replacement or upgrade, and the make and model of what you have. Compare it with anyone.
We pull the permit
Permit and utility coordination are ours. Not yours, and not an extra line on the bill.
Install and inspection
New panel in, every circuit labeled, signed off. You keep the paperwork.
Why the permit matters. Unpermitted work surfaces later — at resale, at a four-point inspection, or in the middle of a claim. Most contractors leave it to you. We do not.
Six signs a panel is done
Panels rarely fail all at once. They warn you for months.
A breaker keeps tripping
Same breaker, every time the AC and the microwave run together. That is not a fault. That is capacity.
Lights dip on start-up
The compressor kicks in and the room dims. Voltage drop — and it worsens with every circuit you add.
Warm, buzzing or scorched
Heat, a hum, a burning smell, brown marks. Do not open it. This is the one that should not wait.
No slots left
Every space full, or two circuits sharing one breaker. Adding a pool, a shop or a charger? Panel first.
Your insurer named it
A four-point inspection flagged the brand. In Florida, that is what holds a policy up.
It still has fuses
Not a brand — an era. Working perfectly, right up until the day the house asks for more.
Burning smell, scorch marks, or hot to the touch? Do not open the panel. Switch off what you can and call us on (941) 780-4141.
Replacement, or just an upgrade?
Two different jobs. Two very different bills. Here is how we tell them apart.
Replacement — the panel is the problem
- Heat damage or corrosion inside
- A brand with a failure history
- Breakers no longer made
- A fuse box running the whole house
- An inspector named it
Upgrade — the panel is sound, just small
- Healthy panel, no room left
- Adding a pool, shop or charger
- Moving 100 amp to 200 amp
- Nothing damaged, just full
- Room to grow before the next project
You should not have to guess, and you should not pay to find out. We look, and we tell you which one it is — in writing. If an upgrade will do, we say so. That is the smaller job.
Is your panel one of these?
These names come up again and again in Florida four-point inspections. If one is inside your panel door, that is usually why you are reading this.
How we will talk to you about this. We are electricians — not your insurer, not a home inspector. We tell you exactly what is in your panel, put the make and model in writing, and replace it if you decide to. We will not tell you the house is about to burn down to sell you a panel. If it is fine, we say so.
How much service do you actually need?
Amperage is the size of the pipe. We ask what you are adding in the next two years, not just what you run today.
- Fine for a small home on gas
- Tight once you add AC plus a pool
- Usually where an upgrade starts
- What most homes move up to
- Room for a pool pump, shop or charger
- What inspections and lenders expect
- Large homes, suites, detached buildings
- Size it once instead of twice
- We will say if you do not need it
Moving 100 to 200 amps is a service upgrade — meter, riser and utility, not just the panel. We run that whole sequence. You are never the one on hold with the power company.
Check us before you call.
Every electrician says licensed and insured. Ours gives you both license numbers and two minutes to prove it.
Still have questions?
If yours is not here, ask on the phone. We would rather answer it now.
Start with a look, not a guess.
A licensed electrician opens the panel and tells you straight what it needs — repair, replacement or upgrade — in writing. Claim your $100 when you book.
