Tampa Bay is the lightning capital of the U.S. — storm and surge damage to AC boards and electrical panels is a routine repair driver.
Hillsborough County water is notoriously hard; without a softener, scale keeps shortening water-heater life.
Expect a $150 to $350 emergency call-out in Tampa that usually covers the first hour of diagnosis; the repair itself is quoted flat before work starts. Nights and holidays sit at the top of the range.
Anything that smells hot, sparks, buzzes, or trips repeatedly under no load — plus a dead panel after a Tampa storm. If a breaker keeps tripping the moment you reset it, stop resetting and call: that's the system protecting you from a fault.
Switch off the affected breaker (or the main if you smell burning), unplug what's on that circuit, and keep water away. Don't open the panel — in Tampa's humidity even a de-energized panel can hold charged components.
