Yes I figured I'd contact a few electrical contractors. I guess if I'm going to replace the panel I might as well do all the wiring too? Add GFCIs where needed etc. or is it typical to just swap out...

Thanks Ray. I'm up in Palm Coast in central Florida and they are pretty by the book here so I'm sure it'll definitely have to be inspected. Gonna talk with a few contractors that I know.

PCboss,
