PBS Electric has been the go-to electrical contractor for Palm Bay homeowners and businesses since 2009. Seventeen years in, we know this area, we know the housing stock, and we know what it takes to get the power on and keep it there. Whether you need a quick repair or a full panel upgrade, we show up ready to work. Same-day scheduling is available for most jobs, and we handle both residential and commercial electrical work across Brevard County. Real electricians. Real pricing. Real fast response.
For residential and commercial electrical work alike, the scope of what we handle is broad. Homeowners call us for everything from a single dead outlet to a complete rewiring project. Property managers rely on us for code-compliant repairs and reliable scheduling across their rental portfolios. Business owners bring us in for tenant improvement wiring, office circuits, and commercial panel work.
The everyday jobs are the backbone of what we do: electrical repairs and troubleshooting, breaker panel upgrades, outlet and switch installation, ceiling fan wiring, indoor and outdoor lighting, dedicated appliance circuits, and whole-home rewiring. Work is performed by licensed electricians on every job, residential or commercial. We make the fix and leave it tidy.
When we started in 2009, Palm Bay was a different place in some ways and exactly the same in others. The older neighborhoods already had aging wiring, undersized panels, and the kind of electrical quirks that come with decades of Florida heat and humidity. We learned this market from the ground up, and that experience has compounded every year since.
We understand Florida building codes and how Brevard County permit and inspection processes work. We know which neighborhoods have older aluminum wiring, which homes are still running on 100-amp service when the appliances demand more, and what the coastal climate does to fixtures and connections over time. Locally owned means our reputation rides on every service call. That is not a slogan. It is how we have stayed in business for seventeen years in the same community. Your panel is in good hands with us.
Seeing flickering lights or a warm outlet? Those are not problems to put off. Flickering can point to a loose connection, a failing breaker, or a wiring issue deeper in the circuit. A warm outlet or cover plate is a warning sign that needs attention before it becomes something worse. Tripping breakers, dead outlets, and circuits that just stop working are all in our wheelhouse.
We diagnose the source, not just the symptom. That means checking GFCI and AFCI protection where it is required, inspecting grounding and bonding, and making sure the fix addresses the actual cause. Prompt response is something we take seriously, even for last-minute electrical calls that come in the same day. Reach out and we'll get it diagnosed.
Keeping a home safe starts with the wiring behind the walls, and in many Palm Bay homes, that wiring is overdue for attention. Older homes in this area were built with electrical systems that were not designed to carry the loads modern households put on them. A 100-amp panel that served a home in the 1970s is not equipped for today's appliances, EV chargers, and electronics.
We handle breaker panel repair and replacement, 200-amp service upgrades, and full load calculations to make sure the new panel is sized right for the home. Whole-home rewiring, knob-and-tube replacement, and aluminum wiring remediation are all work we do regularly in older Brevard County housing. Dedicated circuits for kitchens, laundry rooms, garages, and major appliances round out this side of the work. All wiring is done to current Florida code. Call us and the rest is on our crew.
Some homes need a full rewire. Others just need one outlet fixed. We handle both ends of that spectrum and everything in between. Outlet installation and replacement covers standard outlets, GFCI-protected outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, AFCI outlets, and USB-integrated receptacles where customers want them. Switch and dimmer installation, including smart switch add-ons, is straightforward work we do often.
On the lighting side, we install recessed LED fixtures, under-cabinet lighting, exterior and security lighting, and ceiling fans with full wiring. Florida homes spend a lot of time with outdoor spaces in use, so exterior lighting and security lighting get regular attention from our crew. Ceiling fan installation is one of our most common residential calls, and we handle the wiring from the panel to the fixture. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, and we leave the space the way we found it.
Electric vehicle adoption in Florida has moved fast, and the need for reliable home charging has moved with it. A Level 2 EV charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit and delivers a full charge overnight rather than the trickle a standard outlet provides. We assess your panel's available capacity, run the dedicated circuit, and install the charger outlet or hardwired connection to match your vehicle and setup. If the panel needs an upgrade to support the added load, we handle that as part of the same project.
Brevard County sits in one of the most lightning-active corridors in the country. A single surge event can damage or destroy appliances, electronics, and the circuits that feed them. Whole-home surge protection installed at the panel level is the most effective defense, stopping the surge before it reaches any device in the house. We pair surge protection installation with backup generator hookups and transfer switch installation for homeowners who want both protection and continuity when the grid goes down. It is a natural combination for this area.
Every job we complete is done to current Florida electrical code. That is not optional on our end. Code-compliant work protects the homeowner, satisfies the permit process, and ensures the work holds up under inspection. Licensed electricians perform all of the work, and we do not cut corners to save time on a job.
We also take the condition of your property seriously. We protect your floors and finishes while we work. Cleanup is part of the job, not an afterthought. When we leave, the work is done correctly and the space is ready to use.
Palm Bay and the surrounding Brevard County area have a substantial inventory of older homes, and older homes come with electrical systems that often need updating. Pre-purchase electrical inspections give buyers a clear picture of what they are getting into before closing. We identify aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube remnants, undersized panels, missing GFCI protection, and other issues that affect safety and insurability.
Property managers and landlords need an electrician who shows up on schedule, documents the work clearly, and keeps repairs code-compliant. We work with rental property owners across Brevard County on everything from outlet replacements and lighting to panel repairs and safety inspections. Reliable scheduling and straightforward communication are part of how we operate.
Office buildouts, retail spaces, and restaurant electrical all require a different level of coordination than residential work. We handle tenant improvement circuits, commercial panel work, and the wiring that commercial spaces need to operate safely and pass inspection. Licensed electricians are on every commercial job, and we work with project timelines to keep things moving.
Cost is one of the first things customers ask about, and we think that is a fair question. Before any work begins, we give you a clear estimate that covers what the job involves and what it will cost. If something unexpected comes up once we are into the work, we explain it before we proceed. No vague ranges. No surprise charges at the end. Honest quotes. Code-compliant work. Reliable power.
We also respond promptly, including for last-minute electrical calls when something goes wrong and you need it looked at today. Same-day scheduling is available for most service calls in the Palm Bay area.
Our primary service area is Palm Bay, and we cover all of Brevard County. Customers regularly call us from Melbourne, Rockledge, Cocoa, Titusville, Viera, and Satellite Beach, along with the surrounding communities throughout the county. If you are in the area and need an electrician, give us a call and we will confirm availability for your location.
We have been serving Palm Bay and Brevard County since 2009, which puts us at seventeen years of local electrical work. Over that time, we have built familiarity with the housing stock, the permit and inspection processes, and the specific electrical issues that come up in this area. That experience shows up in how efficiently we diagnose and complete jobs.
Yes, Palm Bay is our home base and we have been working in its neighborhoods since 2009.

If you are on the edge of our service area, call and we will confirm coverage right away.
We take the condition of your property seriously and protect your floors and finishes while we work. Cleanup is part of the job, not something we leave for you to handle after we are gone. When we leave, the work area is ready to use.
Licensed electricians perform all of the work, residential and commercial. You are not getting an apprentice sent alone on a job that calls for a qualified electrician. Locally owned means our reputation rides on every service call, and that accountability starts with who we send to your door.
If something is not right with work we completed, call us and we will come back and address it. We stand behind the work we do, and we would rather hear about a concern directly so we can resolve it. That is part of how a locally owned and operated business stays in business for seventeen years.
We diagnose the source of a problem, not just the symptom, and we explain what we find before we proceed. If the scope changes, we talk to you first. We give clear quotes, show up when we say we will, and leave the job site clean. That is the standard we hold ourselves to on every call.
We respond promptly, including for last-minute calls. When you call (321) 499-1593, you reach a local person who can answer questions and get you on the schedule. We are available every day from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, which gives most customers a same-day or next-day option.

| Type of Work | What It Covers | When You Need It | Things to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wiring & Circuit Installation |
| older homes with outdated wiring or any property adding circuits for new equipment | Knob-and-tube and aluminum wiring are a common concern in older Brevard County homes. Replacement brings affected circuits up to current code. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting |
| any homeowner or business with an electrical problem they cannot explain | A proper diagnostic before any repair means we fix the actual cause, not just the symptom. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation |
| homeowners adding receptacles, upgrading to GFCI, or replacing worn devices | GFCI protection is required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations. We check compliance as part of the job. |
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits |
| homeowners upgrading appliances or adding equipment that needs its own circuit | High-draw appliances need a dedicated circuit to run safely and reliably. We run load calculations to confirm the panel can carry the added demand. |
| Surge & Lightning Protection |
| any Palm Bay home or business in Florida's high-lightning corridor | Florida leads the nation in lightning strikes. A panel-level surge protector absorbs voltage spikes before they reach your appliances and electronics. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair |
| homes where a breaker trips repeatedly or a fuse keeps blowing | A breaker that trips often is signaling a real problem. We find out whether it is the breaker, the wiring, or the load before replacing anything. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections |
| home buyers, landlords, and owners of older properties wanting a clear picture of their electrical system | An inspection before a home purchase can reveal issues that are far cheaper to negotiate or address before closing than after. |
| Solar & Battery Installation |
| homeowners adding solar or battery storage who need the electrical side handled correctly | We handle the electrical work that connects a solar or battery system to your home's panel and circuits. Equipment selection is yours; we make sure the wiring and panel are ready for it. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation |
| homeowners improving air circulation or adding comfort in a room that never had a fan | Running a ceiling fan year-round in Florida's climate reduces the load on your cooling system. We handle the full wiring run when no box exists. |
| Outdoor & Dock Circuits |
| homeowners expanding electrical access to yards, patios, or waterfront areas | Outdoor circuits in Florida need weatherproof covers and GFCI protection by code. We install them to hold up in the heat and humidity. |
| Corrosion-Resistant Coastal Fixtures |
| homes and businesses near the coast where salt air accelerates corrosion on standard fixtures | Standard fixtures degrade quickly in coastal salt air. We specify and install products built for the exposure level your location actually sees. |
| Lighting Installation |
| homeowners updating fixtures or adding exterior lighting for safety and curb appeal | Florida's sun and humidity are hard on outdoor fixtures. We select and install products rated for the exposure level your location requires. |
| Electrical Panel & Service UpgradesMost Popular |
| homes adding an EV charger, generator, or major appliance that the existing panel cannot support | We pull the required permits and carry the project through final inspection. Work is performed by licensed electricians on every panel job. |
| Pool & Spa Wiring |
| Palm Bay homeowners with an existing pool or spa, or anyone adding one | Pool and spa wiring carries strict code requirements because of the water hazard. We follow those requirements fully and can inspect existing installations for compliance. |
| Whole-Home Generator Installation |
| Palm Bay homeowners who need reliable backup power during hurricane season and storm outages | The transfer switch is the critical piece. It disconnects the home from the utility line automatically before the generator starts, protecting both equipment and utility workers. |
How do I know if my panel needs an upgrade?
A few signs point clearly to a panel that has reached its limit: breakers that trip repeatedly under normal use, a fuse box that has never been updated, lights that dim when a large appliance kicks on, or no room to add circuits for new equipment. If you are adding an EV charger, a standby generator, or a major appliance and the panel is older than 25 to 30 years, an assessment is worth scheduling before anything else. We run load calculations to tell you exactly where you stand.
What makes a breaker trip repeatedly?
A breaker that trips often is doing its job, but the underlying cause matters. The most common reasons are a circuit that is carrying more load than it was designed for, a failing breaker that can no longer hold its rated amperage, or a wiring fault somewhere on the circuit. We diagnose the actual cause before recommending a fix, because replacing the breaker alone does not solve a wiring problem or an overloaded circuit.
Is electrical work in Palm Bay permitted and inspected?
Most electrical work beyond simple device replacement requires a permit and a final inspection by the local authority. We handle permit pulls on the jobs that require them and carry the work through inspection. That process protects you as the homeowner because it creates a record that the work was done to code, which matters when you sell the property or file an insurance claim.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We operate every day from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM and offer same-day scheduling when the situation calls for it. Prompt response, even for last-minute electrical calls, is part of how we operate across Palm Bay and Brevard County.
Are warm or buzzing outlets a serious problem?
Yes. A warm outlet usually means a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a device that is failing inside the wall. A buzzing sound from an outlet or switch points to a similar set of causes. Both are worth addressing promptly because the conditions that produce heat and noise in electrical devices are the same ones that can lead to a fire. Call us and we will get it diagnosed before it becomes a bigger issue.
What does flickering or dimming lights usually mean?
Occasional flicker when a large appliance starts up is common and often harmless. Persistent flickering, lights that dim every time something turns on, or flicker that is getting worse over time are different situations. Those patterns can point to a loose connection at the panel or in the wiring, a circuit that is running near its capacity limit, or a panel that is struggling with the home's overall load. We trace the source and tell you what is actually going on.
Do you handle same-day electrical calls?
Same-day availability is something we offer when the schedule allows, and we prioritize urgent situations. If your issue is pressing, tell us that when you call and we will do our best to get someone out quickly. We operate every day from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, so there is a wide window to get you on the schedule without a long wait.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We give you a clear estimate before any work begins and stick to it. If something unexpected changes the scope, we talk to you before we proceed. That is how an honest estimate process works.
How does your estimate process work?
Call us and describe what you are seeing or what you need done. We give you a clear estimate before scheduling any work. If something unexpected comes up once we open a wall or pull a panel, we explain the change to you before we proceed. There are no charges added after the fact without your knowledge. The goal is that you know what you are agreeing to before we start.
Is the wiring in an older Palm Bay home safe?
It depends on what is there and what condition it is in. Older homes in Brevard County sometimes have knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuit wiring, or panels that were sized for a much lighter electrical load than modern households put on them. An inspection gives you a clear picture. Where we find wiring that presents a safety concern, we replace it and bring those circuits up to current code.
Work Performed by Licensed Electricians
Every job, from a single outlet replacement to a full panel upgrade, is handled by licensed electricians on our crew. Locally owned means our reputation rides on every service call.
What do I need for a Level 2 EV charger at home?
A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240V circuit, a breaker sized to match the charger's amperage, and a panel that has the capacity to carry the added load. We assess your panel first, run the dedicated circuit, and wire the charger location cleanly. If the panel needs an upgrade to support the circuit, we handle that as part of the same project. The charger unit itself is yours to choose; we handle everything on the electrical side.
How is a standby generator connected to my home?
A standby generator connects through a transfer switch, which is the device that automatically disconnects your home from the utility line before the generator starts. That step is not optional; it protects the generator, your home's wiring, and any utility workers on the line outside. We handle the transfer switch installation, the generator circuit and wiring, and the panel capacity check to confirm the system can carry the load you need it to support.
Do I need to be home while the work is done?
For most jobs, yes, someone should be available at the start so we can confirm the scope and access points, and at the end so we can walk you through what was done. For larger projects that span more than one day, we can work out access arrangements with you directly. Just let us know your situation when you call and we will figure out a schedule that works.
Call (321) 499-1593 and tell us what you are dealing with. We will give you a straight answer and a clear quote before anything else happens.
