HERNANDO COUNTY PANEL UPGRADE SPECIALISTS

Reviews
Rated 4.9 out of 5 across 184 customer reviews.
Our 1980s breaker panel started buzzing violently during an afternoon thunderstorm when the AC kicked on. Pro Electrician had a truck at our home within 40 minutes, identified loose bus bar connections, and replaced the failing breakers safely.
We needed a dedicated 240V charging circuit installed in our garage for our new golf cart and EV. The technician explained our panel capacity clearly, ran clean conduit, and installed a heavy-duty receptacle that works perfectly.
After repeated hurricane power outages, we decided on a standby generator with an automatic transfer switch. The team handled the permits through Hernando County seamlessly and completed the installation with outstanding craftsmanship.
Salt air had badly corroded our pool pump subpanel and exterior GFCI outlets. Pro Electrician replaced the enclosure with a weather-resistant NEMA-rated box and re-bonded the pool equipment. Exceptional attention to electrical safety.
