Broward County Electrical Contractor

Residential Electrical Contractor for Broward County Homes

Broward has everything from 1950s ranch homes to new construction, high-rise condos and waterfront estates — and each one needs a different approach.

Older neighborhoods in Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Plantation and Pompano Beach often still run on original 100-amp panels and aging wiring. Newer communities in Weston, Parkland, Coral Springs and Pembroke Pines usually have the opposite problem: big homes with pools, two AC systems and EV chargers that outgrow a 200-amp service. Because we're based in Sunrise, most Broward cities are 15 to 30 minutes from our office.

Standby Generators

Standby Generator Installation, Repair & Maintenance in Broward County

Hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30, and after a major storm, parts of Broward can be without power for days. A standby generator with an automatic transfer switch turns your power back on within seconds — as long as it was sized, installed and maintained correctly.

Whole-home standby generator installation

Load calculation, generator sizing, automatic transfer switch, concrete pad, electrical connections, permits and final inspection — one licensed contractor from start to finish.

Generator repair & troubleshooting

Generator won't start, won't transfer, shows an error code or shuts down under load? We diagnose the generator, the transfer switch and the wiring between them. Generator won't start →

Generator maintenance before hurricane season

Battery and connection check, oil and filter service per the manufacturer, exercise-cycle review and a transfer test under load — so the generator works the day you need it, not just on paper.

Commercial generators

Backup power for offices, restaurants, retail, warehouses and condo common areas, sized to the loads that must stay on and coordinated with property management.

Portable generator hookups

Code-compliant manual transfer switches and panel interlocks with an outdoor inlet — the safe alternative to extension cords and back-feeding.

Panel & service upgrades for generators

Older Broward panels often need an upgrade or an interlock-ready panel before a generator can be connected safely.

Local Know-How

What's Different About Generator & Electrical Work in Broward County

High-Velocity Hurricane Zone

Broward is part of Florida's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, so outdoor equipment like generators and disconnects must be anchored to meet the wind-load requirements in the Florida Building Code.

Permits by city

Each Broward city has its own building department, and unincorporated areas go through Broward County. We file the electrical permits with the right office for your address.

HOA & condo approvals

Many Broward communities require architectural approval for generator placement and screening. We provide the specs, site plan and permit documents your HOA asks for.

Flood zones & salt air

In coastal and low-lying areas, generators and transfer switches must sit above the required flood elevation, and salt air calls for corrosion-resistant enclosures and hardware.

Our Process

How a Standby Generator Installation Works

On-site visit

We look at your panel, meter and where the generator can go, and ask what you need to keep running.

Load calculation & sizing

Whole-home or essential circuits only — we size the generator so it can start your AC without overspending.

Written price

One written proposal with equipment, installation, permits and transfer switch. The price you approve is the price you pay.

Permits & installation

We pull permits, set the pad, install the generator and transfer switch, and make all the electrical connections.

Inspection & walkthrough

We pass inspection, run a full transfer test and show you how the system works and how to keep it maintained.

Licensed & insured — Florida License EC 13014052. Every job comes with upfront written pricing, permit and inspection coordination, and our 1-Year Done-Right Guarantee. Financing is available.

FAQ

Broward County Electrician & Generator FAQ

Do you serve all of Broward County?

Yes. We're based in Sunrise, in the middle of the county, and serve every Broward city — including Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood, Pembroke Pines, Miramar, Coral Springs, Parkland, Pompano Beach, Tamarac, Plantation, Davie and Weston — as well as unincorporated Broward.

How much does a standby generator cost in Broward County?

It depends mostly on the generator size (whole-home or essential circuits), the transfer switch, the distance to your panel and any panel upgrade. After an on-site visit and load calculation, we give you one written price that includes equipment, installation and permits.

Do I need a permit to install a generator in Broward County?

Yes. A standby generator needs an electrical permit, which goes through your city's building department, or Broward County for unincorporated areas. We handle the electrical permit and inspections. The gas or propane connection is done separately by a licensed gas contractor.

How often should a standby generator be maintained?

At least once a year, ideally before hurricane season starts on June 1, plus any service the manufacturer specifies by run hours. A generator that sits unmaintained is the most common reason it fails to start during an outage.

Can you repair a generator someone else installed?

Yes. We troubleshoot generators, automatic transfer switches and the wiring between them regardless of who installed them, and tell you upfront whether a repair makes sense.

Are you a residential electrical contractor or commercial?

Both. Most of our Broward work is residential — homes, townhomes and condos — and we also serve offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses and condo associations.
