We recently heard from one of our customers—an 82-year-old homeowner in the Sun City Center area—who found herself in a tough spot with her electrical panel. Like many folks in older homes, she received a letter from her insurance company stating that she had just 30 days to upgrade her Challenger electrical panel or risk losing her homeowners insurance altogether.
“I didn’t even know what a Challenger panel was,” she told us. “All I knew was that I couldn’t afford to lose my insurance—and I sure didn’t have thousands of dollars just lying around to get it fixed.”
She called Bryan Hindman Electric after a neighbor recommended us, and we came out right away to provide a complimentary quote. We confirmed that yes, she would need both a panel and a disconnect replacement to meet current code and keep her insurance active.
“I thought it was going to be a huge burden,” she said. “But your team was so patient with me. You explained everything clearly and didn’t pressure me. And then you told me about the financing through Wisetack —that changed everything.”
By financing the job through Wisetack, she was able to get the work done quickly, with affordable monthly payments that made sense for her budget.
“I’m on a fixed income, so I figured financing would have crazy interest rates,” she said. “But it turned out to be much better than I expected. I’m paying just $189 a month, and it didn’t wipe out my savings.”
Today, she’s breathing a sigh of relief. The work is complete, her insurance remains intact, and most importantly, she feels safe in her home.
“It’s one less thing to worry about,” she said. “I’ve got peace of mind, and I didn’t have to go into a financial panic to get it.”
If you’ve received a similar letter or you’re worried about the cost of electrical upgrades, know that you’re not alone—and help is available. We’re proud to offer financing options like Wisetack to make important work more accessible, especially for those living on a tight budget.
