Electrical Services in Miami, FL
Miami's electrical infrastructure faces unique challenges: salt-air corrosion, hurricane-season surge damage, and aging wiring in the city's many mid-century homes. Our licensed team understands these local conditions and brings the right materials and techniques to every job — whether that's a panel upgrade in Coconut Grove, a commercial build-out in Wynwood, or emergency repairs in Little Havana.
Miami-Dade County requires all electrical work to be permitted and inspected. As a Florida-licensed contractor (FL #EC13008804), we pull permits, coordinate inspections, and ensure every project closes with a passing certificate — protecting your home's value and your insurance coverage.
What We Do in Miami
Electrical Services for Miami Homes & Businesses
Panel Upgrades
Many Miami homes built before 1990 still have 100-amp or Federal Pacific panels that can't handle today's loads. We upgrade to 200-amp service, replace recalled breaker brands, and add whole-home surge protection — all with permits.
Hurricane Prep & Generator Installation
Miami's hurricane season runs June through November. We install Generac standby generators that start automatically when FPL power fails, keeping your AC, refrigerator, and medical equipment running through any storm.
EV Charger Installation
Miami ranks among Florida's top cities for EV adoption. We install Level 2 chargers (240V) for all vehicle brands — Tesla, Ford, GM, Rivian — in garages, carports, and commercial parking structures.
Commercial Electrical
From Brickell office build-outs to Wynwood restaurant fit-outs, we handle commercial wiring, 3-phase power, data cabling, and ongoing maintenance agreements for Miami businesses.

Common Questions
Electrician Miami FAQ
Do you pull permits for electrical work in Miami?
Yes. All electrical work in Miami-Dade County requires a permit from the Building Department. We handle the permit application, schedule inspections, and ensure your project receives a final approval certificate. Never hire an electrician who skips permits — it creates liability and can void your homeowner's insurance.
How quickly can you respond to an electrical emergency in Miami?
We offer 24/7 emergency service throughout Miami and Miami-Dade County with a target 2-hour response time. Call (305) 896-7742 any time — day, night, or during a storm.
What does a panel upgrade cost in Miami?
A standard 200-amp panel upgrade in Miami typically ranges from $1,800 to $3,500 depending on the existing service, permit fees, and whether a meter base replacement is needed. We provide free, itemized estimates before any work begins.
Are you licensed to work in Miami-Dade County?
Yes. We hold Florida Electrical Contractor License #EC13008804, which authorizes us to perform all electrical work throughout Miami-Dade and Broward counties. Our license is active and in good standing — you can verify it at the Florida DBPR website.
Do you work on older Miami homes with knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring?
Yes. Many Miami homes built before 1970 have knob-and-tube or aluminum branch wiring. We assess the condition, recommend the appropriate remediation (partial rewire, aluminum-to-copper pigtailing, or full rewire), and carry out the work safely and to code.
