What SPAN does for a Pinellas Park home

A SPAN Panel replaces your existing electrical panel with one you can see and control from your phone. Every circuit is measured and switchable in the SPAN Home app, so you can see what’s using power right now, turn circuits off from anywhere, and get free over-the-air software updates. It uses standard 1-inch breakers and is NEMA 3R rated for indoor or outdoor installation.

In Pinellas Park we see three kinds of SPAN projects:

Homes adding an EV charger, heat pump or induction range. On a 100- to 200-amp service, SPAN PowerUp™ can manage EV charging so the house stays within its service rating, which can sometimes avoid a utility service upgrade.^
Homes that need a new panel anyway. If your panel is old, full, rusted or a brand insurers flag, SPAN is the smarter panel upgrade: you’re replacing the panel either way, and you get monitoring and control in the bargain.
Homes planning solar and a battery. SPAN lets you choose which circuits get backup power during an outage, change those priorities as the outage goes on, and see how much backup time is left. SPAN says it extends battery life by 40% during an outage.*

Pinellas Park neighborhoods and their panels

Pinellas Park’s median home was built in 1978 (Census ACS 2020–2024). The housing stock is mostly 1960s–80s concrete-block homes, with enough commercial and light-industrial space that we also get shop and flex-space calls:

Neighborhoods off 66th Street, 70th Avenue and Belcher Road. Original panels at 40 to 60 years old, many with Federal Pacific or Zinsco breakers, small 100- to 150-amp services, and exterior enclosures that have seen decades of Florida humidity. These panels usually need replacing regardless. We assess the service and grounding first, and SPAN goes in as the new panel.
Park Boulevard corridor. Mix of homes and small businesses. Owners adding EV charging, workshop tools or a remodel often run out of breaker spaces before they run out of amps — SPAN’s denser circuit layout and app control help both sides of that problem.
Gateway and US-19 light-industrial. Not every SPAN install is residential. When a small shop or flex space wants circuit-level visibility and remote shutoff, we size the panel to the load calculation and the permit path.

Larger homes with more than 48 circuits or a service over 200 amps may need more than one SPAN Panel. We size it at the site visit.

SPAN with solar and battery backup

SPAN works with a home’s existing solar and battery system when the battery is on SPAN’s compatibility list. Tesla Powerwall 3 and FranklinWH aPower work with every SPAN Panel model. Powerwall 2, SolarEdge, and Enphase IQ Battery 5P and 10T work with the SPAN Panel MAIN 32. SPAN’s Backup Overload Protection (NEC 2023 Article 702.4) helps prevent brownouts and the service calls that come with battery resets. We confirm your inverter, battery and gateway before we quote.

Don’t have solar or a battery yet? We can add solar, battery backup and energy monitoring through our licensed partner installers as one coordinated project. Our partners install the solar and battery equipment; Keywest Lights & Electric manages the project and handles the electrical work, including the SPAN Panel and interconnection wiring.

SPAN with a standby generator

Plenty of Pinellas Park homes added a standby generator after recent hurricane seasons. SPAN can work with one, but you should know the limits before you buy:

The generator connects upstream of SPAN through a listed transfer switch. Generator output never lands in the SPAN Panel, and portable-generator interlocks can’t be installed in it.
SPAN doesn’t communicate with the generator, so generator power shows as grid power in the app.
Generator only, no battery: there’s no automatic load shedding. You turn non-essential circuits off by hand in the app, which is still far easier than flipping breakers in a dark garage.
Generator as part of a compatible battery system: you get SPAN’s full battery outage experience.

Storm season and outages

Hurricane seasons leave Pinellas Park with multi-day outages more often than most homeowners expect. Owners with batteries learn quickly that a battery wired only to the AC can be empty by morning. With SPAN, you see estimated backup time and decide what stays on, so the fridge, lights and Wi-Fi are still running when you need them.

How a SPAN install works

Consultation call. Tell us about your home, panel, solar, battery and plans.
Site visit and load calculation. We look at the panel, meter, grounding, and any solar, battery or generator equipment.
Itemized quote after the site visit. Every part of the job is on its own line. We don’t quote SPAN prices over the phone.
Permit and Duke Energy coordination.
Install and commissioning. Most SPAN installs take about a day. We commission the panel, connect it to your existing system, and add whole-house surge protection.
Inspection and app walkthrough. We meet the inspector and show you how backup priorities work in the SPAN Home app.

Hurricane season notes for this area

October is still hurricane season on the Gulf coast. For planned electrical work we keep the advice practical:

Standby generators need a listed transfer switch ahead of the panel. Portable-generator interlocks are a different product and are not installed in a SPAN Panel. See generator installation and hookups.
Whole-house surge protection is required by Florida’s adopted electrical code whenever a home’s service equipment is replaced, and it’s a smart add-on before storm season even when you’re not upgrading. See whole-house surge protection.
After a storm: do a visual check before restoring power if the house took on water, if you smell burning, or if the meter can or panel was submerged or damaged. Call us for a post-storm inspection rather than flipping the main back on and hoping. Emergency calls are answered 24/7; we do not promise a response time.
Permits: generator hookups, panel and service work still need the correct city or county permit. We pull those when we do the work.

Warranty and financing

3-year workmanship warranty on our electrical work, extended to 5 years for Member Care Plan members. That’s separate from SPAN’s own 10-year limited panel warranty, which requires installation by SPAN or a SPAN Authorized Installer.
Financing available through Acorn Finance, subject to credit approval. Check your options without affecting your credit score. Ask us and we’ll include the financing link with your itemized quote.
Hours: office 7 AM–5 PM, weekend service, and 24/7 emergency calls.

Pinellas Park SPAN FAQ

Are you a SPAN Authorized Installer? Yes. Keywest Lights & Electric is a SPAN Authorized Installer, with 20 SPAN installs completed. We’re licensed (EC#13014717) and have done electrical work in Pinellas County since 2010.

How much does a SPAN Panel cost in Pinellas Park? It depends on the SPAN model, your current panel and service, any code corrections, the permit, and add-ons. We give an itemized quote after a site visit so you see every line before you decide.

Do I need solar or a battery to get SPAN? No. SPAN works as a smart replacement panel on its own, and it’s ready for solar, batteries and EV charging later. Battery backup control does require a compatible battery.

Can SPAN help me add an EV charger without a service upgrade? Sometimes. SPAN PowerUp can manage EV charging to keep your home within its service rating. It requires qualification and enrollment, and we’ll tell you after the load calculation whether it fits your home.^

What if my internet goes down? App control and monitoring need a connection. SPAN connects by Wi-Fi or Ethernet and falls back to cellular where coverage allows. Your breakers keep protecting your circuits either way.

Is this the same as the Seminole & Largo SPAN page? No. Seminole and Largo share a combined SPAN area page. This page is specifically for Pinellas Park addresses. See also SPAN in Seminole & Largo.
