Electrical Services We Provide Across South Florida

This page covers the full range of electrical work we handle for homeowners, property managers, and business owners throughout Broward County and the surrounding parts of Miami-Dade and Palm Beach County. Panels, wiring, lighting, EV chargers, generators, three phase power, exit and emergency lighting, troubleshooting, and code correction all fall under one roof, and most jobs touch more than one category at once. Call (954) 602-0050 and describe what you are seeing or what you need built, and we will walk you through what the job actually involves before anyone shows up at your door.

Why These Categories Overlap More Than People Expect

Electrical work rarely stays inside one neat box. A homeowner who calls about adding recessed lighting in a kitchen remodel often finds out the existing circuit is already loaded close to its limit, which turns a lighting job into a conversation about the panel. A property manager who wants EV chargers installed for tenants usually needs a load calculation done first, because the answer to whether that is possible depends entirely on what the electrical service has left to give. We look at a building as one connected system rather than a single fixture or outlet, because that is how the wiring, the panel, and every circuit inside actually behave together.

That is also why this page exists as more than a list of links. Each category below shapes what is realistic for the others, and understanding those connections up front usually saves a homeowner or property manager a second trip and a second decision. A generator quote that ignores panel condition, or an EV charger quote that ignores what else is already drawing power on that circuit, tends to fall apart once the work actually starts.

The sections below are organized by the kind of work involved rather than by how big or small the job is, since a small dedicated circuit and a full panel replacement often come from the exact same phone call once we start asking questions. Read through whichever categories match what you are dealing with, or skip straight to the one that matches your situation using the links throughout.

Panel Repair, Replacement and Service Upgrades

The panel is the backbone of everything else on this page. If breakers will not reset, if you hear buzzing or notice rust and corrosion inside the panel cover, or if the panel is a brand with a known history of breakers that fail to trip when they should, that is where we start. We check panel condition against the load actually being drawn rather than judging by age alone, because a panel that is simply old but properly sized and in sound physical shape is not automatically a problem worth replacing. Our panel repair and replacement page walks through the specific warning signs and how we decide between a repair and a full swap.

Panel capacity also sets the ceiling for almost everything else here. Before we quote a generator, an EV charger, or a run of new circuits for a commercial buildout, we need to know what the existing service can actually support, and whether a subpanel or a full service upgrade has to happen first. This is also where surge protection tends to come up, since a whole-house surge protective device installs directly at the panel and covers every circuit downstream of it rather than a handful of individual outlets.

Not every capacity problem requires replacing the main panel, either. A subpanel, fed from the existing service, can add breaker space for a detached garage, a workshop, an addition, or a cluster of new circuits without touching the main panel at all, as long as the main service has enough spare capacity to feed it. Where the main service genuinely does not have enough left, whether because of a generator, an EV charger, added air conditioning, or simply an older home with a small original service size, a full service upgrade increases what the utility feed can deliver to the building.

Wiring and Rewiring

Wiring problems show up as flickering lights, warm switch plates, dead outlets, or breakers that trip for no obvious reason. In older homes across this part of South Florida we still find aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s and 1970s, cloth-insulated wiring that has gone brittle with age, and occasionally older knob and tube runs left behind inside a wall or attic. Our wiring and rewiring page covers how we evaluate a house room by room and what a staged rewire looks like when opening every wall in one project is not realistic. Wiring condition directly affects what else can safely be added to a building, including new lighting circuits and dedicated circuits for appliances.

For homeowners planning a broader renovation, this is also where general residential electrical work and rewiring tend to overlap, since new rooms and remodeled kitchens almost always need new circuits run alongside any wiring correction. A kitchen remodel, for instance, usually needs dedicated circuits for the refrigerator, the microwave, and small appliance outlets, plus GFCI protection at every counter outlet within reach of the sink.

Lighting Installation, Indoors and Outdoors

Lighting is the most visible electrical work we do, and also the work most likely to expose an underlying circuit problem once we open a wall or a fixture box. Recessed cans, under-cabinet strips, landscape and path lighting, ceiling fans, dimmers, and full LED retrofits all draw power from existing circuits, and the fixture itself is rarely the entire job. Our lighting installation page covers fixture types, dimmer compatibility, and the failures we see most often, from flickering LEDs to fans that hum or wobble after a few months of use.

Outdoor and landscape lighting in this climate carries its own set of concerns that indoor lighting never has to deal with, mainly salt air and humidity working on connectors, fixture housings, and transformer enclosures over time. Standard steel boxes and connectors corrode faster near the coast than they do further inland, which is part of why fixtures and even panels mounted on an exterior wall near the water fail sooner than the same equipment would inland. We use wet-location fixtures, corrosion-resistant hardware, and sealed connections for anything installed outside, and we cover the specific failure points on that page as well.

EV Charging Station Installation

Home and commercial EV charging has grown from an occasional request into a routine part of our workload. The core question is always the same: does the existing electrical service have enough spare capacity to add a 240 volt circuit sized for a Level 2 charger, and if not, what has to change first. Our EV charging page covers Level 1 versus Level 2 equipment, breaker and wire sizing, hardwired versus plug-in units, and the added complication of getting approval from a condo board or HOA before installing at a multifamily property.

A single-family home with a modern service and light electrical use can often add a charger without much fuss. A home with an older, smaller service, or one already running central air conditioning, a pool pump, and an electric range off the same panel, is a different conversation, and that is exactly the kind of load calculation we walk through before recommending equipment or a breaker size.

Generators and Storm Season Preparedness

Hurricane season in South Florida runs from June through November, and a standby generator with an automatic transfer switch is one of the more common installations we handle here. A generator install touches the panel directly, because the transfer switch has to isolate the generator circuit from the utility feed so power never backfeeds into the grid where a lineman could be working. Sizing a generator correctly means going through the same kind of load calculation used for other panel work, matched against which circuits actually need to stay powered when the utility feed goes down.

Portable generators need the same isolation in principle, just on a smaller scale, and running one into a house without a proper transfer switch or interlock is one of the more dangerous shortcuts we see homeowners attempt after a storm. That single mistake is also one of the more common calls we get once power is restored and something in the house no longer works right.

Three Phase Power for Commercial and Industrial Buildings

Restaurants, warehouses, and light industrial spaces often run equipment that needs three phase power rather than the single phase service found in most homes. Three phase work involves different panel configurations, different conductor counts, and equipment that behaves differently under an unbalanced load between phases. We handle three phase installation, troubleshooting, and equipment hookups for commercial and industrial accounts across the service area, along with the subpanels and dedicated circuits that specific machinery requires, from walk-in coolers to compressors and production line equipment.

Diagnosing a three phase problem is different work than diagnosing a residential single phase issue, because a fault on one leg can leave equipment partially running instead of shutting it down outright, which often shows up as a motor overheating, humming, or tripping its own protection instead of the building breaker. Catching that early usually saves the motor and the downtime that comes with replacing it.

Exit Signs and Emergency Lighting for Commercial Buildings

Any commercial building open to the public has to keep exit routes lit and marked, even during a power outage. That means battery-backed exit signs and emergency lighting fixtures that hold up under testing, egress paths that meet minimum illumination levels, and documentation that a fire inspector will actually want to see during a walkthrough. Our exit and emergency lighting page covers testing schedules, battery backup expectations, and the specific things inspectors check, including which fixtures are missing their required test button or showing a dead indicator light.

This category gets neglected more than almost anything else on this page, mostly because the fixtures sit quietly overhead and nobody notices a dead battery until the power actually goes out or an inspector shows up with a checklist. Building owners and property managers who put a testing routine in place avoid both problems, and we can set that routine up as part of an initial visit rather than waiting for a failed inspection to force the issue.

Commercial, Retail and Property Management Work

Beyond the categories above, we handle tenant buildouts, retail and office electrical, restaurant electrical, and ongoing electrical service for property managers who want a single point of contact across a portfolio of buildings. This commercial electrical work draws on every category listed above depending on the building. A tenant buildout might need new subpanels, dedicated circuits for kitchen equipment, updated lighting, and exit signage all inside the same scope of work, which is exactly why we do not treat these as separate trades handled by separate crews.

A homeowner and a commercial property manager also tend to ask different questions even when the underlying electrical work looks similar. A homeowner usually wants to know what a project will disrupt and whether the work will pass inspection when it comes time to sell, while a property manager is usually thinking about tenant downtime, liability if a system like exit lighting fails an inspection, and keeping a paper trail across multiple properties. We adjust scheduling and documentation to match, planning residential work around a household's routine and commercial work around business hours and tenant notice requirements.

Troubleshooting, Dedicated Circuits and Code Correction

Not every call is a large project. A good share of what we do is diagnostic work: tracing a dead outlet back to its source, figuring out why a specific breaker keeps tripping, adding a dedicated circuit for a new appliance, or correcting wiring a previous contractor left behind that will not pass inspection. Nuisance tripping, where a breaker trips even though nothing seems obviously wrong, is one of the more common complaints we field, and the cause ranges from a loose connection to a circuit that is simply overloaded for what it now has to carry.

GFCI protection near sinks, tubs, pools, and exterior outlets, and AFCI protection in bedrooms, come up constantly in this category, especially in homes built or last rewired before those protections were required. Bringing an older home's outlets up to current protection standards is often a smaller job than people expect, and it is one of the more straightforward ways to reduce shock and fire risk without touching the rest of the wiring. We see the same gap in older commercial spaces, where a kitchen or a break room sink was wired long before GFCI protection near water became standard practice, and closing that gap is a common part of a code correction visit.

Panel changes, service upgrades, generator installs, and most rewiring work also require a permit and a final inspection in South Florida jurisdictions. We handle that paperwork as part of the job rather than treating it as an afterthought, because an inspection failure on something like grounding, bonding, or clearance around the panel just adds delay for everyone involved. Grounding and bonding in particular gets overlooked on older systems, and it is one of the first things we check on any panel or service work, since a poorly grounded system undermines the protection every other safety device in the building is supposed to provide.

How to Decide Where to Start

If you already know exactly what you need, the pages linked throughout this one go into more depth on each subject. If you are not sure where a problem is coming from, the panel is usually the right place to start the conversation, since its condition and remaining capacity shape almost every other decision that follows. When you call (954) 602-0050, we start by asking what you are experiencing or what you want built, not by trying to sell a specific package, and for anything beyond a straightforward repair we look at the panel and the relevant circuits before quoting a scope of work.

Pricing depends entirely on what we find once we are looking at the actual panel, wiring, or fixtures involved, so we do not quote numbers over the phone before an electrician has seen the job. What we can tell you upfront is what the visit will involve and roughly what a job of that type tends to require, so you are not going in blind. If the scope changes once we open a wall or a panel and see something the original description did not cover, we explain that before doing anything further, rather than surprising anyone with a change after the fact.
