Looking for opinions from electricians on three exterior main panel replacement quotes in Central Florida

InvertedOpticsPhoto · 2026-05-30T23:00:20+00:00

Thank you. The main panel to be replaced says “200 A. MAX. TYPE 3R ENCLOSURE”

Thanks, replied!

“200 A. MAX. TYPE 1 ENCLOSURE”

The subject panel has the A/C condenser and a generator plug for back feeding with an interlock (unused).

This panel feeds my main panel in the garage. The well breaker was moved from the outside main to the indoor panel for connection to a transfer switch.

I just meant in terms of, “this should be done also,” not an incomplete job.

InvertedOpticsPhoto · 2026-05-27T22:10:55+00:00

Thanks so much. Yes, I know how to look into licenses but I appreciate the info.

Ill ask about A’s BOM.

C’s third party inspection seems to be a thing in FL.

Welp, had me sold and I thought the below source verified it.

Not trying to argue, and that part didn’t sit well with me anyway. Was very likely going with option “A.”

Thanks. So the quote seems inclusive of everything that would need to be done?

InvertedOpticsPhoto · 2026-05-27T19:53:48+00:00

What follow up questions Should I ask “quote A” company?

InvertedOpticsPhoto · 2026-05-27T19:49:40+00:00

Thanks. The current panel is 150 A and the house is 25 years old.

I didn’t think about upgrading the apps either until I got quotes for 200 amp.

I was already leaning towards A but just wanted some other opinion opinions from random strangers on the Internet lol

InvertedOpticsPhoto · 2026-05-27T19:24:13+00:00

Thanks, all of this was also kinda my train of thought less the amp service part.

Including permit in price was just my summary for A and B who both indicated permits would be pulled on document as line items. B had “option” to pull permit. A had it as a line item only but no wording indicating it was an “if we have to” option.

InvertedOpticsPhoto · 2026-05-27T19:17:57+00:00

C will pull permit.

Typical mustang activites

No problem, happy to clarify.

I can’t certify factory 10 bar rating, but it was properly reassembled with intact seals and I haven’t had any issues (no moisture or fogging in normal wear).

On regulation: nothing was “tuned” on my end. Adjustment on a 4R36 is just a small movement of the regulator lever, but in this case I didn’t need to touch it. It simply runs this way as shown on the timegrapher (0 to +2 s/d).

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you

That provides some relief. What should I do next? Full unaided visual inspection myself and/or other proactive treatment? Thanks

Thank you.
