Whether this is your first repair or your tenth, the starting point is always the same: find the actual fault before touching anything else. A flickering light, a dead outlet, a breaker that trips every time you run the microwave, or half the house going dark without warning - each one tells a different story, and the story matters. We trace the fault before anything is replaced, which keeps the repair focused and the cost in line with what the problem actually requires.
We take both residential and commercial repair calls. A property manager dealing with a tripped circuit in a rental unit and a homeowner with outlets that stopped working after a storm are solving different problems, but the diagnostic process is the same either way. Reach out and we'll get it diagnosed.
This area has every kind of panel and circuit in it, from updated 200-amp services in newer construction to older equipment that was never designed to carry today's electrical loads. When a home or building adds a major appliance, an EV charger, or a new HVAC circuit, the existing panel has to be able to handle the added demand. If it cannot, a service upgrade is the right move before anything else gets connected.
A panel replacement involves pulling the old equipment, installing a new main breaker panel sized for the current and anticipated load, and running the circuits to code. We also handle subpanel installation for additions, detached garages, and outbuildings that need their own distribution point. The scope of the electrical work is priced before it starts, so you know what the job involves before we schedule anything. A breaker that keeps tripping is a warning worth heeding.
Wiring a home right takes the right tools and a careful hand, whether the job is adding a single outlet or rewiring a room that was done decades ago with materials that no longer meet code. We install GFCI and AFCI protection where it is required, add USB outlets and dimmer switches, replace worn light switches, and run new circuits where the existing layout does not reach.
On the lighting side, we install recessed and LED fixtures, wire ceiling fans, add under-cabinet lighting in kitchens, and run exterior and landscape lighting for outdoor living areas. Florida's year-round outdoor lifestyle puts real demand on exterior circuits, and security lighting around a property is a common request from homeowners and landlords alike. We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own, which means the work gets done cleanly and the finished result holds up. One call is enough to get the visit booked.
A Level 2 home EV charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and getting that circuit installed correctly starts with a panel capacity check. Older panels often lack the available amperage to support a charger circuit without an upgrade first. We assess what the panel can carry, run the dedicated circuit to where the charger will be mounted, and make sure the wiring and breaker are sized for the load. The vehicle and the charger brand are your choices. The electrical side - the circuit, the panel capacity, and the wiring run - is what we handle. One call and we are on it.
Brevard County's weather shapes what electrical work comes up most often here. Hurricane season runs June through November and brings extended outages. Florida ranks among the highest in the country for lightning strikes per square mile, and backyard pools are a fixture of life along the Space Coast. The three services below come up constantly in this area for exactly those reasons.
When a storm takes out power for days at a time, a backup generator connected properly to the home's electrical system makes the difference between riding it out and scrambling. The electrical side of a generator installation involves installing a transfer switch, running the generator wiring, and connecting it to the main panel in a way that isolates the home from the utility line while the generator runs. We handle the hookup and the transfer switch. The result is a system that can be brought online safely when the grid goes down.
Florida's lightning frequency is not a background statistic - it is a real and regular threat to panels, appliances, and the wiring that connects them. Whole-home surge protection is installed at the panel and intercepts voltage spikes before they reach the circuits inside the house. Grounding and bonding are part of a complete protection setup, and we assess both when we install panel-level surge protection. A single lightning event can damage equipment throughout a home, and protection at the panel is the most effective place to stop it.
Pools are common throughout Melbourne and across Brevard County, and the electrical work they require is specific. A pool or spa installation involves dedicated circuits for the pump and equipment, GFCI protection at every required location, and bonding of all metal components within the pool structure. Code requirements for wet-area electrical work are detailed and exist for good reason. We follow them on every pool and spa wiring job, whether it is new construction, a renovation, or a repair to an existing setup.
What sets this service apart is straightforward: we work with property managers, office tenants, retail spaces, and small commercial buildings, not just single-family homes. The electrical needs are different in a commercial setting - higher loads, more circuits, lighting across larger spaces, and equipment that draws more current than anything in a typical house.
We handle panel upgrades for commercial loads, dedicated circuits for commercial equipment, outlet and lighting work in office and retail spaces, and troubleshooting for buildings where a wiring problem affects operations. We are a local electrician for homeowners and business clients alike, and the approach is the same either way: scope the job clearly, price it before scheduling, and do the work correctly. With a local company, a question about the work gets a straight answer.
Pricing for electrical work depends on what the job actually involves, and the only way to give an accurate number is to understand the scope. When you call, we go through what you are dealing with - a repair call, a panel upgrade, a rewiring project, an EV charger circuit, a ceiling fan, or adding a dedicated circuit - and give you a rate based on that conversation.
One call. One electrician. One price, agreed first.
We cover the range of jobs that come up in Melbourne: straightforward repairs, panel replacements, new outlet and lighting installations, generator hookups, surge protection, and pool wiring. The price is confirmed before anything is scheduled.
Call (321) 599-3556 and ask what the job covers.
An electrical inspection covers the condition of the panel, the age and type of wiring throughout the home, the presence of GFCI and AFCI protection where it is required, grounding, and any visible hazards that need attention. Inspections come up most often before a home purchase, after storm damage, and in older homes where aluminum wiring or knob-and-tube wiring may still be in place.
When an inspection turns up older wiring that does not meet current standards, whole-home rewiring is often the follow-on step. We walk through what the inspection found and what the options are before any work is scheduled. Reach out and we'll get it diagnosed.
We take calls from across Brevard County, including Palm Bay, Rockledge, Cocoa, Titusville, Viera, Merritt Island, Satellite Beach, and Indialantic. If you are in the Melbourne area or anywhere nearby along the Space Coast, the process is the same: call for a quote and we go from there.
Call (321) 599-3556 any day between 5:30 AM and 8:00 PM and describe what you are dealing with.
We go through the job on the call, give you a price, and confirm the visit before anything is scheduled. That conversation is where the scope gets established, so the more detail you can share about the symptom, the more useful the call will be.
Homes in Melbourne and across Brevard County built in the 1960s and 1970s often have wiring configurations that were standard at the time but no longer meet current code. If your home has two-prong ungrounded outlets, a fuse box instead of a breaker panel, or you have never had any electrical work done since purchase, an inspection is worth scheduling. We go through the panel, the circuits, and the visible wiring and explain what we find before recommending any work.
Flickering or dimming lights, breakers that trip repeatedly and will not reset, outlets that feel warm to the touch, a burning smell near a switch plate or receptacle, and power that goes out in one part of the house but not others are all symptoms worth taking seriously. Any burning smell near an outlet or panel is a reason to call without delay. We trace the fault before recommending any replacement, so the repair stays proportionate to the actual problem.
Yes. We work with homeowners, renters, landlords, property managers, and commercial clients across Melbourne and Brevard County. The diagnostic approach is the same whether the call comes from a single-family home or a commercial space being fitted out for a new tenant. We scope the job on the call and give you a price before anything is scheduled.
Call (321) 599-3556 and describe the job.
We go through what it involves, what it is likely to take, and what the rate is during that conversation. The price is confirmed before anything is booked, so you are working with a real number before you commit to a visit.
It depends on the job. Some repairs and installations require the circuit or the main breaker to be off for part of the work. We let you know what to expect on the call and confirm any preparation needed before the visit. The goal is to minimize disruption while keeping the work safe and accurate.
It helps to note where the symptom is happening, whether it started suddenly or gradually, and whether anything changed around the time it began, such as a new appliance, a storm, or a tripped breaker you reset. If you know where your panel is and whether it has been worked on before, that is useful too. The more the technician knows going in, the faster the fault gets traced.
Pricing is confirmed before the visit is scheduled, and payment is handled at the job. We do not add charges after the fact. If the scope changes once we can see the wiring on site, we explain what changed and what it means for the cost before proceeding.
A visit can cover a single repair, such as a dead outlet or a tripping breaker, or a broader scope like a panel upgrade, a lighting installation, or running a dedicated circuit for a new appliance. We work through whatever the job involves and explain what we find as we go. The scope is established on the call before the visit is booked, so the technician arrives prepared for the work.
Most first-time callers want to know what the job will cost, how long it will take, and whether they need to do anything to prepare. We answer all of that on the call. The price is given before anything is scheduled, and any preparation the job requires is explained clearly before the visit.
Yes. Every job we handle is done to the code that applies in Brevard County. Where a permit is required, we confirm that before work begins so there are no gaps in the paperwork. Code-compliant work matters for insurance purposes, for future inspections, and for the safety of the home or building.
Melbourne Electrical Company is available every day from 5:30 AM to 8:00 PM for repairs, installations, panel work, and everything in between. Power restored. Code-compliant. Done right.

Melbourne's housing stock runs from mid-century homes with original fuse boxes to newer construction with modern load demands, and commercial properties that sit in a different category entirely. We work across all of it, from a single outlet that stopped working to a full panel upgrade ahead of storm season. Call us with what you are dealing with and we will scope the job on the phone, give you a price before anything is scheduled, and get the work done right. Below is a quick look at what we cover and what to expect from each service.
| Type of Work | What the Job Involves | Common Situations | What to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits |
| Anyone adding a high-draw appliance or a Level 2 EV charger to an existing home | An EV charger or a hot tub often means checking the panel first. If the panel is already at capacity, we work out the upgrade before the circuit is run. |
| Outlet and Switch Installation |
| Rental property owners, homeowners upgrading older two-prong outlets, and anyone adding receptacles to a room | Older homes in Brevard County often have ungrounded outlets that need bonding and grounding work alongside the new receptacle. We confirm what applies before starting. |
| Surge and Lightning Protection |
| Any Melbourne home with electronics, major appliances, or exposure to frequent lightning activity | Florida leads the country in lightning strikes per square mile, and Melbourne sits in one of the most active corridors. A panel-level surge device catches voltage spikes before they reach the circuits inside the house. |
| Electrical Repairs and Troubleshooting |
| Any homeowner, renter, or property manager dealing with an unexplained electrical symptom | We trace the fault through the circuit before recommending any replacement, so the repair stays accurate and proportionate to the actual problem. |
| Lighting Installation |
| Homeowners upgrading interior lighting, adding outdoor security lights, or replacing corroded exterior fixtures | Homes along the barrier island and coastal neighborhoods need fixtures rated for salt air. Standard hardware corrodes faster than most homeowners expect in this environment. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections |
| Home buyers, landlords preparing a unit for rental, and property managers dealing with a flagged code issue | We go through the panel, the circuits, the outlets, and the visible wiring and explain what we find before recommending any work. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation |
| Homeowners adding ceiling fans to rooms that currently have no overhead wiring | Where there is no existing wiring at the ceiling location, we run what is needed rather than leaving the job half-done. |
| Outdoor and Dock Circuits |
| Waterfront properties, homes with outdoor kitchens or living spaces, and dock owners adding power | Outdoor circuits require weatherproof materials and GFCI protection throughout. We confirm the circuit is properly protected before the work is finished. |
| Pool and Spa Wiring |
| Residential pools, spas, and short-term rental properties with outdoor water features | Code requirements around water are specific and non-negotiable. We wire new installations and bring existing pool electrical up to current standards when inspections flag deficiencies. |
| Whole-Home Generator Installation |
| Melbourne homeowners preparing for hurricane season or frequent storm-related outages on the Space Coast | The transfer switch isolates the home from the utility line while the generator runs, which is a code requirement and a safety necessity. We handle the wiring and the switch, not the generator unit itself. |
| Electrical Panel and Service UpgradesMost Popular |
| Homes adding EV chargers, major appliances, or carrying older panels that cannot meet current demand | Air conditioning runs hard year-round in this area, and when you add a Level 2 charger or an electric range, the math on panel capacity changes fast. We run the load calculation first. |
| Breaker and Fuse Repair |
| Homes where a breaker trips repeatedly under normal household use | A breaker that keeps tripping is a warning, not just an inconvenience. The cause matters more than the symptom, and we find it before touching the hardware. |
| Wiring and Circuit Installation |
| Older homes with wiring that cannot safely carry current loads, or any property adding new living or working space | Aluminum branch-circuit wiring is a common finding in Brevard County homes built in certain decades. The risk concentrates at connection points, and we address those specifically. |
