UNDERSTAND YOUR INSTALLATION
Name, phone and city are enough to request the callback above. For the assessment, have the property address, electric utility, reason for the change and planned equipment ready. Share existing inspection notes and exterior equipment photos only if safely accessible; do not open covers, touch wiring or approach damaged equipment. This helps Origin identify the next assessment step—not approve an upgrade from a photo.
Ask the written quote to distinguish replacing the panel, adding circuit space and increasing the utility service capacity. A full panel or a future EV charger does not by itself establish that the home needs a larger service. Have the electrician document the load assessment, selected equipment, meter or service work, exclusions and any repair or restoration work before comparing proposals.
Official resources checked October 16, 2026: Tampa publishes an electrical trade-permit process and final inspection; St. Petersburg and Sarasota publish their own permit resources. Tampa Electric separately accepts service-upgrade and existing-service change requests through its Construction Center. Confirm the actual permitting jurisdiction and serving utility for the address—these city and TECO links do not apply to every nearby property. Ask who handles permits, utility coordination, the planned interruption and final closeout records.

Here’s what we review when planning your main panel upgrades (mpu) project.
Review equipment condition, existing loads and the appliances or projects you plan to add. A larger enclosure alone does not establish more available power.
Separate panel replacement, a change in service capacity and additional circuit space. The written proposal should explain which work your property needs.
Identify the panel, breakers, grounding and bonding work, wiring changes, access and any meter-related work included in the project.
Confirm the authority for your address, utility involvement, shutdown planning and inspection responsibilities before scheduling installation.
Keep the circuit directory, equipment information, inspection records and instructions for any new controls together.
Before you decide
MPU means main panel upgrade. Ask whether a proposal includes replacement of the panel, a service-capacity increase or both; the abbreviation alone does not define the work.
No. Breaker space, equipment condition and calculated electrical demand are different issues. Ask the electrician to explain the finding and whether a suitable subpanel or load-management approach fits.
The required capacity depends on the property and loads. Share existing equipment and planned additions so the electrician can assess the service instead of selecting an amperage by house size alone.
The work may require a coordinated outage. Confirm the expected interruption, utility steps, inspection dependencies and contingency plan before choosing an installation date.
Yes. Main panel upgrades can be standalone electrical projects. Tell us about the existing panel and what is prompting the change.
