Electrical Installation

Electrical Installation Services We Offer in Fort Lauderdale

Our licensed technicians handle the full range of residential and commercial electrical installation projects. Whether you’re upgrading an aging system or wiring a new build, here’s what we can do for you:

Panel Replacements & Breaker Box Upgrades
We replace outdated panels and upgrade breaker boxes to handle modern electrical loads safely. This is one of the most common installation projects in older Fort Lauderdale homes.

Full House Rewiring
Older properties with deteriorating or undersized wiring benefit from a complete rewire. Our technicians assess the existing system first, then bring everything up to current code.

Dedicated Circuits & EV Charger Installation
High-draw appliances and electric vehicles require dedicated circuits sized for their load. We install both, including Level 2 EV charger hookups in garages and driveways.

Indoor & Outdoor Lighting Installation
From recessed fixtures and ceiling fans to landscape and security lighting, we handle design and installation for every area of your property.

Whole-Home Surge Protection & Smoke Detector Systems
A whole-home surge protector helps protect devices and appliances from voltage spikes. We also install interconnected smoke detector systems that meet current code requirements.

Coastal & Waterfront Installations
Fort Lauderdale’s marine environment demands materials and methods built to resist salt air and moisture. We install dock wiring, boat lift power systems, and corrosion-resistant equipment for waterfront properties.

Permits & Code Compliance for Fort Lauderdale Electrical Projects

Electrical installation in Fort Lauderdale involves more paperwork than most homeowners expect. Fort Lauderdale and Broward County require a permit for any work involving new circuits, rewiring, or major modifications to an existing electrical system. Those permits must be filed by a Florida-licensed, city-registered electrical contractor, which is exactly what our technicians are.

Fort Lauderdale also sits within Broward County’s High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ), a designation that adds specific structural and electrical code requirements to installation work. Projects with contracts exceeding $2,500 may require a recorded Notice of Commencement under Broward County’s permitting rules before work can begin.

We manage the entire permitting process for our clients. You don’t need to navigate the county’s filing requirements or coordinate with inspectors on your own. Our team handles submissions, scheduling, and code compliance so your installation is completed correctly and fully documented from start to finish.

Why Fort Lauderdale Homeowners Trust Us for Electrical Work

Five decades of working inside South Florida homes gives our technicians a level of local knowledge that doesn’t come from a training manual. They understand how coastal humidity, salt air, and Florida’s demanding electrical loads affect a building’s wiring over time. That experience shapes how we approach every installation, from the first assessment to the final connection.

Every new installation we complete is backed by a one-year warranty. Labor and repairs carry a 30-day warranty. Bilingual service is available, and financing and payment plans can make larger projects more manageable. When a project can’t wait, our 24/7 emergency service means you’re never left without support.

What to Expect During Your Electrical Installation

Every project starts with a site assessment. Our technicians review your existing wiring, grounding, and panel before any work begins. For rewiring or upgrade projects, that evaluation determines what needs to come out and what can stay, and it shapes the scope and timeline we can give you before work starts.

New construction wiring is the most straightforward scenario. Without finished walls to work around, our team can typically complete wiring for a new home in three to ten days, depending on the layout and scope. Larger projects, custom designs, or extensive rewiring in occupied homes can extend that timeline, and we’ll let you know upfront what to expect.

We schedule around your availability and clean up completely after each job. If your situation changes or you need service outside normal hours, our after-hours and weekend appointments are there for you.

Schedule Your Fort Lauderdale Electrical Installation
