Outdated Electrical Panels? Tampa Bay Insurance Companies Are Requiring Upgrades
In 2026, insurance companies across Florida are tightening safety requirements, and outdated electrical panels are one of the biggest reasons for policy denials.
If your home still has a Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or GTE panel, you may be required to replace it before your policy is approved or renewed.
These panels often fail to shut off during overloads, create fire hazards, and do not meet modern safety standards.
Upgrading your electrical panel helps you qualify for insurance, improves home safety, increases property value, and supports modern appliances and EV chargers.
Ashton Electric Co. specializes in panel upgrades in Tampa, Wesley Chapel, Clearwater, St. Pete, Riverview, and Largo.
Schedule your panel upgrade before peak season.
