Calling an electrician does not have to be stressful, and getting the right one for the job should not take long. We cover the full range of residential and commercial electrical work: repairs and troubleshooting, breaker panel upgrades, outlet and switch installation, ceiling fans, lighting, dedicated circuits, whole-home wiring, and electrical safety inspections. Every job is handled by licensed electricians on the job from start to finish, and all work is done to current electrical code.
Whether you manage a rental property in Melbourne or run a small business in Brevard County, we bring the same standard to every call. That means clean work, code-compliant wiring, and a crew that does not cut corners.
We show up ready to work.
No matter what is going wrong with your wiring, the first step is an accurate diagnosis. We troubleshoot flickering lights, dead outlets, tripping breakers, power out in one room, burning smells near outlets or panels, and sparking receptacles. These problems range from a simple fix to a sign of something more serious, and we do not guess. We trace the fault, explain what we find, and give you a clear path to getting it resolved.
A diagnostic visit covers the full circuit, not just the symptom. We check arc-fault and ground-fault breakers, test GFCI and AFCI protection, and look at the panel if the issue points there. We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test so you always know what is happening with your home.
We will make your wiring safe again.
Not every electrician works the same way, and panel work is where that difference shows. We handle breaker panel replacement and upgrades, 200-amp service upgrades, meter and service-entrance work, subpanel installation, and load calculations for homes adding new appliances or circuits. Melbourne has a mix of older housing stock and newer builds, and plenty of homes in the area are still running panels that were not designed for today's electrical loads.
If your panel is undersized, overloaded, or simply aging out, upgrading it protects your home and makes room for the circuits you need. We size the panel correctly for your current load and any planned additions, whether that is an EV charger, a pool pump, or a kitchen renovation.
Reach out and we will start at the panel.
Ready to get the power sorted? We install and repair outlets and switches throughout the home, including GFCI outlet installation in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas. We also install AFCI outlets, USB outlets, dimmer switches, smart switches, and smart outlets for homes upgrading their controls.
Dedicated circuits are a regular part of our work. Dryers, ranges, ovens, water heaters, and large kitchen appliances all need their own circuit to run safely and efficiently. We also wire workshops, garages, and home additions for the load they actually carry. All circuit installation is done to code and inspected before we close up the wall.
We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own, and that standard applies to every outlet, switch, and circuit we touch.

Ready to get the power sorted? We handle light fixture installation and replacement, recessed lighting installation and retrofit, under-cabinet lighting, and ceiling fan installation and wiring throughout the home. For outdoor spaces, we install security lighting, motion sensor lights, flood lights, and landscape lighting.
Melbourne's climate means outdoor living happens year-round. Porches, patios, and outdoor kitchens need reliable, weather-rated fixtures and circuits that hold up in the heat and humidity. We spec and install exterior lighting that works in coastal conditions and looks right for the space.
Ceiling fans are one of our most common residential calls. We wire new fans from scratch or replace existing fixtures, including running new wiring where no box exists.
We show up ready to work.
Not every electrician works the same way, and rewiring projects require more planning than a standard repair call. We handle whole-home rewiring, partial rewires, knob-and-tube wiring replacement, aluminum wiring remediation, and wiring for remodels, additions, and renovations. Melbourne and the surrounding Brevard County area have a wide range of housing ages, and older homes often carry wiring that no longer meets code or simply cannot support modern electrical demand.
Knob-and-tube and aluminum wiring are both safety concerns. We assess what is in the walls, explain the scope of work honestly, and carry out the remediation cleanly. Grounding and bonding are addressed as part of any rewire so the finished system is safe and code-compliant.
We will make your wiring safe again.
The number of electric vehicles in Brevard County is growing, and a Level 2 home charger is the practical upgrade that makes owning one easier. We install dedicated circuits for EV charging, mount and wire Level 2 chargers in garages and carports, and check panel capacity before any installation begins. If the panel needs room for the added load, we handle that as part of the project.
A proper EV charger circuit is not a DIY job. It requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit sized for the charger and installed to code.
One call brings an electrician to your door.
We offer electrical safety inspections for homeowners, buyers, sellers, landlords, and property managers. A pre-purchase inspection gives buyers a clear picture of what they are taking on. A pre-sale inspection helps sellers get ahead of surprises. Landlords and property managers use inspections to confirm rental units meet code and that GFCI and AFCI protection is in place where required.
An inspection covers the panel, grounding and bonding, visible wiring, outlets and switches, and any areas of concern flagged during the walkthrough. We report what we find in plain language and let you decide how to proceed.
We pick up the phone and get it handled. If an inspection turns up something that needs attention, we can schedule the repair work at the same time.
Reach out and we will start at the panel.
Living on the Space Coast means dealing with hurricane season, year-round heat, frequent lightning, and a lifestyle that extends well into the backyard. The electrical work that comes up most often here reflects that environment. The three services below are a direct response to what Melbourne homeowners and property owners actually need.
Hurricane season runs June through November, and coastal storms can knock out power for days. A standby generator changes that. We handle the full electrical side of generator installation: transfer switch installation, backup generator wiring, and a panel readiness check to confirm your system can carry the load. When the power goes out, a properly installed standby generator picks up automatically. We size the system to your home, run the circuits correctly, and make sure the transfer switch meets current code.
Florida leads the country in lightning strikes, and Brevard County is no exception. A single nearby strike can damage electronics, appliances, and wiring throughout the home. Whole-home surge protection installed at the panel intercepts that voltage spike before it reaches your devices. We install surge protection as a standalone upgrade or as part of a panel project. Grounding and bonding are reviewed at the same time, since a well-grounded system is the foundation that makes surge protection work.
Backyard pools are common across Brevard County, and the electrical requirements for a pool or spa are more involved than a standard outdoor circuit. We handle pool electrical wiring, hot tub and spa hookups, outdoor GFCI protection, and bonding for wet environments. All pool and spa wiring is done to NEC code requirements for wet locations, which exist specifically to protect people in and around the water. If you are adding a pool, replacing a pump, or wiring a new spa, call us before any other work begins.
We work with homeowners, renters, landlords, property managers, small businesses, retail spaces, and office buildings. The same crew that wires a new outlet in a Melbourne home also handles panel upgrades for commercial spaces and wiring for tenant improvements. We understand the difference in code requirements between residential and commercial work, and we bring the right approach to each.
Book today. Wired tomorrow. Done by the weekend.
Whether the job is a single service call or a larger installation project, we schedule efficiently and work cleanly. We do not leave a job half-done, and we communicate clearly about timeline and scope before we start.
We show up ready to work.
Electrical costs vary by job, and we do not think it is helpful to throw out numbers that may not apply to your situation. What we can tell you is that every quote we give is based on the actual work your project requires. A panel upgrade cost depends on the size of the panel, the condition of the existing service entrance, and whether subpanel work is involved. An EV charger installation depends on where the panel is, how far the circuit needs to run, and whether the panel has capacity. An inspection cost depends on the size and age of the property.
Call us, describe what you are dealing with, and we will give you an honest estimate. There are no vague ranges designed to get us in the door. We tell you what the job involves and what it costs.
One call brings an electrician to your door.
We serve Melbourne and the surrounding communities throughout Brevard County, including Palm Bay, Rockledge, Viera, Merritt Island, Cocoa, Satellite Beach, Indian Harbour Beach, and Titusville. If you are in the area and need electrical work handled by someone who knows the region, give us a call.
Flickering or dimming lights, outlets that are warm to the touch, breakers that trip repeatedly, a burning smell near outlets or the panel, and discolored switch plates are all signs worth taking seriously. Any one of these can point to a wiring fault, an overloaded circuit, or a failing component that needs attention from a licensed electrician.
A burning smell near an outlet or panel is not something to ignore or wait on. It can indicate overheating insulation, a loose connection arcing inside the wall, or a failing breaker. Turn off the affected circuit if you can do so safely, and call us right away.
If the issue involves heat, smoke, or sparking, turn off the affected circuit at the panel if it is safe to reach. Do not use the outlet or switch that is causing the problem. If there is any sign of fire or if you cannot safely access the panel, leave the building and call emergency services first.
We are available every day from 5:00 AM to 8:30 PM, and we work to get to urgent calls as quickly as our schedule allows. Call (321) 599-3556 and describe what you are seeing, and we will tell you what to expect in terms of arrival time.
We test every circuit, outlet, and connection involved in the job before we close up and leave. For panel work, that includes verifying breaker operation and load distribution. For outlet and lighting work, we test function and confirm GFCI and AFCI protection is operating correctly where required.
A full rewire is typically needed when a home still has knob-and-tube or aluminum branch-circuit wiring, when the existing wiring cannot safely support modern electrical loads, or when a major renovation is opening up enough of the walls to make a full replacement practical. A partial rewire addresses specific circuits or areas without touching the rest of the system.
Knob-and-tube wiring is not inherently dangerous if it is intact and undisturbed, but it was not designed for the loads modern homes place on it, and the insulation degrades over time. It also lacks a ground wire, which means GFCI protection cannot be added in the standard way. We assess what is in the walls and explain the options honestly.
Aluminum wiring expands and contracts more than copper, which can loosen connections at outlets and switches over time. Loose connections generate heat, and that heat is a fire risk. Remediation involves replacing the devices with aluminum-rated receptacles and switches or installing approved pigtail connectors at each connection point.
A whole-home surge protector installs at the main panel and intercepts voltage spikes before they reach your circuits and devices. When a lightning strike or utility event sends a surge through the line, the protector diverts the excess voltage to ground. It is the most effective single upgrade for protecting appliances and electronics from the kind of surge events that happen regularly in Brevard County.
It depends on how much capacity your panel has available. A Level 2 EV charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and if your panel is already near capacity, it may need an upgrade before the charger can be added safely. We check panel capacity as part of every EV charger installation and address any needed upgrades at the same time.
A dedicated circuit means running a new circuit from the panel directly to the appliance, sized specifically for that load. Dryers, ranges, ovens, dishwashers, and refrigerators all have specific circuit requirements, and sharing a circuit with other loads can cause tripping and premature wear. We size the circuit to the appliance and install it to current code.
We identify what does not meet current code during the diagnostic or inspection, explain what the correction involves, and carry out the work to bring the system into compliance. Common corrections on older Melbourne homes include adding GFCI and AFCI protection, replacing ungrounded outlets, and addressing panel issues. We pull permits when the scope of work requires them.

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.
