How to read this page: no one publishes
a citable Florida-specific price for an electrical panel upgrade — sites
that show one anyway are estimating. This page shows
named national estimates (labeled, with fetch dates),
official program figures (quoted verbatim), and says
“get local quotes” where no citable figure exists. It is not
an estimate of your project.
