MJM Electrical Service has been the go-to electrician for Melbourne homeowners and businesses since 2006. Twenty years in, we are still the same locally owned operation that started right here in Brevard County, Florida, still answering the phone, still showing up, and still doing the kind of electrical work neighbors pass along by word of mouth. Whether you need a fast repair, a full panel upgrade, or a specialty install, the licensed electricians on our team are ready to handle it. Residential wiring. Commercial wiring. One number for both.
Call today to schedule your electrical service or request a quote.
Calling an electrician doesn't have to be stressful, and with us it rarely is. Most calls start the same way: something in the house stopped working the way it should. Lights are flickering. An outlet went dead. The breaker keeps tripping every time you run the microwave. These are the everyday problems we troubleshoot dozens of times a week, and we know how to find the source quickly.
When we arrive, we start with a clear-eyed look at what's happening. We check the panel, trace the circuit, and test the components involved. We explain what we find before we touch anything, so you know exactly what the problem is and what it will take to fix it. We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test.
Dead outlets and failing switches are more than a nuisance. They can point to wiring faults, overloaded circuits, or outdated devices that no longer meet code. We install and replace standard outlets, GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, AFCI breakers for bedroom and living-area circuits, and dedicated circuits for appliances that need their own power supply. All work is done to current code, with proper grounding and bonding throughout.
Older Melbourne neighborhoods are full of homes built decades ago, when a 100-amp service and a small breaker panel were plenty. Today those same homes are running multiple refrigerators, home offices, EV chargers, and whole-home generators. The panel that served a family in 1975 often cannot carry that load safely.
We handle full panel replacements, service-entrance and meter upgrades, and subpanel installations for garages, workshops, and additions. Every upgrade starts with a load calculation so we know exactly what the new service needs to carry. We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own, which means we do not cut corners on the panel work that everything else in your house depends on.
Our crew covers Melbourne and the communities around it throughout Brevard County. If you are in any of the areas below, we can get an electrician to your door.
Book today. Wired tomorrow. Done by the weekend.
No matter what's going wrong with your wiring, the age of the house is often the first thing we look at. Brevard County has a lot of homes built in the 1960s through the 1980s, and some of them still have knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuits, or original wiring that has never been touched. That wiring was installed to standards that have since changed, and it can create real safety risks as the insulation ages and the load on those circuits grows.
We perform whole-home rewiring, knob-and-tube replacement, aluminum wiring remediation, and addition wiring for homeowners who are expanding their square footage. We pick up the phone and get it handled, whether the job is a single problem circuit or a full rewire from panel to fixtures.
Ready to get the power sorted? Lighting and exterior electrical work are some of the most common requests we get, and for good reason. In Melbourne's climate, outdoor living is year-round. That means outdoor outlets, security lighting, landscape lighting, and dock or patio circuits all get real use, and they need to be installed to handle the humidity and salt air that come with living on the coast.
Inside, we install recessed lighting, ceiling fans, under-cabinet lighting, and fixture replacements throughout the home. Outside, we run circuits for security lights, post lights, and exterior outlets. We also install corrosion-resistant fixtures designed to hold up in coastal conditions. We'll make your wiring safe again, and better-looking in the process.
Two services have seen a sharp rise in demand across Melbourne and the surrounding area over the past several years: home EV charger installation and backup generator hookups. Both are straightforward electrical jobs when the panel has the capacity to support them, and both make a real difference in how prepared and convenient your home is day to day.
EV ownership has grown steadily in Brevard County, and Level 2 home charging has become the standard for anyone who drives an electric vehicle regularly. A Level 2 charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit and can fully charge most vehicles overnight. We handle the full install: panel capacity check, dedicated circuit wiring, and charger mounting. If the panel needs an upgrade to support the new circuit, we handle that too.
Florida's hurricane season is a real consideration for every homeowner in this area. A standby generator is only as useful as the transfer switch and wiring that connect it to your home's electrical system. We install generator transfer switches, run the wiring from the generator to the panel, and make sure the hookup is safe, code-compliant, and ready to carry the load when the power goes out. We handle the electrical side of the job from start to finish.
Not every electrician is comfortable working in a commercial setting, and not every commercial client wants to deal with a crew that only knows residential work. We handle both, and the same licensed electricians who wire a Melbourne home are the ones who show up at your office, retail space, or warehouse.
We work with property managers, business owners, and contractors on commercial panel upgrades, office electrical work, retail lighting, and warehouse circuit installations. If you manage multiple properties in the area, we can be the single point of contact for electrical repairs and upgrades across all of them. One call brings an electrician to your door, whether the job is a tripped breaker at a strip mall or a full service upgrade at a commercial building.
Every job we complete is done to current National Electrical Code standards and applicable Florida building codes. That matters for inspections, for insurance, and most importantly for the safety of the people living or working in the building. The licensed electricians on our team stay current with code changes and approach every job with that standard in mind.
We also pull permits when the work requires them. If a previous contractor left you with a code violation or a failed inspection, we can assess the situation, identify what needs to be corrected, and get the work back on track.
Surge and lightning protection is something Melbourne homeowners should take seriously. Florida leads the country in lightning strikes, and a single surge event can damage appliances, electronics, and wiring throughout the house. Whole-home surge protection installs at the panel and provides a first line of defense for everything connected to your circuits.
We also perform electrical safety inspections for homeowners who want a clear picture of where their wiring stands. This is especially useful before buying an older home, after storm damage, or when a property has not had any electrical work done in many years. GFCI and AFCI protection, panel condition, grounding, and visible wiring are all part of what we check. Reach out and we'll start at the panel.
Not every electrician works the same way, and pricing is one area where the differences matter. We give you a clear estimate before any work begins. If something comes up during the job that changes the scope, we tell you before we proceed. No surprises at the end of the visit.
We offer same-day scheduling when our calendar allows, and we are available for electrical emergencies around the clock. If you have a wiring problem that cannot wait, call us. We show up ready to work.
We have been handling electrical work in Melbourne and across Brevard County since 2006. That is 20 years of residential and commercial electrical projects right here on the Space Coast, and we are still the same locally owned operation we started as.
Yes. This is a locally owned business, and the people who answer the phone are the same people accountable for the work being done right. We pick up the phone and get it handled, and that starts at the top.
We are available every day from 5:00 AM to 8:30 PM, and we take after-hours and weekend calls for jobs that cannot wait. If you have an urgent electrical situation outside normal business hours, call (321) 599-3556 and we will work to get someone to you.
Very familiar. Brevard County has a lot of homes built between the 1960s and the 1980s, and we see knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuits, undersized panels, and aging service entrances on a regular basis. That experience means we know what to look for and how to handle it correctly.
We are a locally owned operation, which means every job is personal. The licensed electricians on our team treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own. That standard does not change based on the size of the job.
Yes. We arrive with the tools and materials needed for the most common residential and commercial electrical work. That means fewer delays and fewer trips back to a supply house in the middle of a job.
We do. We work with local contractors, property managers, and business owners throughout Brevard County, and we try to keep our supply relationships local where we can. Being part of this community matters to us beyond just showing up for service calls.
We come back out and make it right. If a problem recurs because of our work, we assess it and resolve it. We have been building a reputation in this area for 20 years, and we are not going to let a callback be the end of the story.
We are a focused local operation, not a large regional outfit. Our team is sized to handle the volume of work we take on without stretching thin, so every job gets proper attention. If you call, you reach someone who knows the area and the work.

How do I know if my panel needs an upgrade?
Common signs include breakers that trip frequently, a fuse box instead of a breaker panel, a 100-amp service in a home with modern appliances, or no room to add new circuits. If you are planning to add an EV charger, a generator hookup, or a major appliance, a load calculation will tell you whether your current service can carry it. Call us and we will talk through what you are seeing before scheduling anything.
What causes a breaker to trip repeatedly?
A breaker that trips over and over is usually telling you something. The circuit may be overloaded, there may be a short or ground fault in the wiring, or the breaker itself may be failing. In some cases, the load on the circuit has simply grown beyond what it was designed to carry. We diagnose the cause before recommending a fix, because replacing the breaker without addressing the underlying issue rarely solves the problem for long.
Is electrical work in Melbourne permitted and inspected?
Most electrical work beyond simple fixture swaps requires a permit and a code inspection in Brevard County. We handle the permit process as part of the job. Inspected work gives you documentation that the installation meets current code, which matters for insurance purposes and when you sell the home.
Work Performed by Licensed Electricians
Every job we take on is handled by licensed electricians who know the code and stand behind their work. From a single outlet repair to a full panel upgrade, the same standard applies.
How do I know if the wiring in my older home is still safe?
Homes built before the 1980s may have knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch-circuit wiring, or inadequate grounding. These are not automatic emergencies, but they do carry risks that modern wiring does not. An electrical safety inspection will tell you what is in your walls, what the actual risk level is, and what, if anything, needs to change.
What are the signs that a home needs rewiring?
Persistent flickering, outlets that feel warm, a burning smell near switches or the panel, breakers that trip without obvious cause, and two-prong outlets throughout the house are all reasons to have the wiring assessed. Age alone is not always the deciding factor, but wiring from the 1960s and earlier deserves a close look, especially in a climate like Brevard County's where heat and humidity accelerate wear.
What does a whole-home generator hookup involve?
The electrical side of a generator installation includes a transfer switch, a connection to your main panel, and a dedicated circuit sized for the generator's output. For permanent standby units, we coordinate with the utility for the service connection. The transfer switch is the critical piece: it isolates your home from the utility grid when the generator is running, which is required for safety and for compliance with utility rules.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We keep same-day appointments available for repairs and urgent work, and we take after-hours and weekend calls when the job cannot wait. If you have a problem that needs attention today, call us and we will do our best to get someone to you.
Do I need to be home when the electrician comes?
For most residential work, yes. We need access to the panel, the affected circuits, and the areas where the work will be performed. For rental properties or commercial locations, a property manager or authorized representative can be present in place of the owner. Just let us know the situation when you call and we will make sure the visit is set up correctly.
What should I do about outlets that feel warm or make a buzzing sound?
Warm or buzzing outlets are worth taking seriously. A warm outlet can indicate a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or wiring that is arcing inside the wall. These conditions can lead to a fire if left unaddressed. Turn off the circuit at the panel if you are concerned and call us. This is not a situation to watch and wait on.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We give you a clear estimate before any work begins, based on the actual scope of your project. If anything changes, we tell you before we move forward.
How does surge protection work, and do I really need it in Melbourne?
A whole-home surge protector installs at your main panel and catches voltage spikes before they reach your circuits and appliances. Brevard County sits in one of the most lightning-active regions in the country, and a single nearby strike can send a surge through your panel that damages electronics, appliances, and the panel itself. Whole-home protection is the most effective defense available, and point-of-use protection at sensitive equipment adds a second layer.
What is required to install a Level 2 EV charger at home?
A Level 2 charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, similar to a dryer or range. We start with a panel review to confirm your service has the capacity for the additional load. If the panel is at or near capacity, we address that as part of the project. The result is a safe, code-compliant charging setup installed in your garage with the correct outlet or hardwired connection for your charger model.
How do estimates and pricing work?
Electrical costs depend on what the job actually involves, and we do not quote a number before we know what we are looking at. When you call, we talk through what you are seeing. When we arrive, we assess the work and give you a clear estimate before anything gets started. If something comes up during the job that changes the scope, we tell you before we proceed. You know what the work involves and what it costs before we begin.
Every electrical situation is a little different, and the best way to get a straight answer is to call us directly. We will ask a few questions, give you a sense of what is involved, and get you on the schedule.
