FAQs
Are your electricians licensed and insured to work in Lake City?
Yes. Every technician on our team holds a current Florida electrical contractor’s license and is fully insured for both liability and workers’ compensation. We stay up-to-date with Lake City and Columbia County permitting requirements and local amendments to the National Electrical Code (NEC), so you can be confident all work meets or exceeds municipal standards.
What types of electrical services do you offer for Lake City homes and businesses?
We provide a full spectrum of residential, commercial, and light-industrial services, including panel upgrades, whole-house rewiring, lighting design and installation, surge protection, EV-charger installation, generator sales and hookup, code corrections, and 24/7 emergency troubleshooting. For commercial clients we also handle tenant build-outs, service-entrance upgrades, and preventive maintenance programs.
How quickly can you respond to an electrical emergency in Lake City?
Because our dispatch center is located right on US-90 in Lake City, we can reach most addresses within 60 minutes—often faster inside city limits. Our emergency line is staffed around the clock, and our service vans are stocked with the most commonly used breakers, receptacles, wiring, and diagnostic equipment so the majority of issues are resolved in a single visit.
Do you provide free estimates, and what affects the final cost of a project?
Yes, on-site estimates are free for all non-emergency projects. After assessing your electrical system we provide a written, itemized quote that includes parts, labor, permit fees, and applicable taxes. Final cost depends on project scope, accessibility (attic crawl spaces vs. open walls), required materials (standard copper vs. aluminum service entrance cable), and any code-mandated upgrades uncovered during inspection.
Can you help make my Lake City property more energy-efficient?
Absolutely. We offer energy audits that evaluate your lighting, appliances, and electrical distribution. Based on the findings, we can replace incandescent or halogen fixtures with high-efficiency LEDs, install smart switches and occupancy sensors, recommend ENERGY STAR appliances, and balance panel loads to reduce wasted power. Many upgrades qualify for Florida Power & Light (FPL) rebates or federal tax incentives, and we’ll guide you through the paperwork.
How do you ensure safety and code compliance during electrical work?
Safety is our top priority. We begin each job with a hazard assessment and lock-out/tag-out when required. All work is performed in accordance with the latest NEC edition, plus local ordinances adopted by Lake City’s Building & Zoning Department. Before closing any walls or restoring power, we perform circuit-level testing with calibrated meters and infrared cameras. Finally, we arrange the mandatory city inspection and provide you with a signed Certificate of Completion for your records.
