Palm Bay Electrical Company handles the full range of residential and commercial electrical work for homeowners, landlords, and business owners across Palm Bay and Brevard County. Whether you need a tripped breaker diagnosed, a panel upgraded to handle a heavier electrical load, a whole-home rewire, or a dedicated circuit run for a new EV charger or backup generator, this is the number to call. We work on homes, rental properties, offices, retail spaces, and everything in between. Clear communication from the first call to the final test is how every job runs here, from the initial scope through the last check before we leave.
We power your home. We protect your circuits. We earn the call.
Most homeowners can't tell a minor wiring issue from a serious one, and that uncertainty is exactly where a clear explanation makes a difference. We cover the full spread of electrical work: troubleshooting and fault diagnosis, outlet and switch installation, lighting inside and out, ceiling fans, breaker panel repairs and upgrades, wiring and rewiring, dedicated circuits for major appliances, grounding and bonding, and electrical safety inspections. On the commercial side, that extends to office electrical work, retail electrical installation, commercial panel upgrades, and rough-in wiring for remodels and additions.
Every job starts with understanding what the problem actually is. Electrical troubleshooting is not guesswork. A dead outlet, a tripping breaker, and a burning smell each point to different parts of the system, and the fix depends on reading those symptoms correctly before anything is opened up. Code-compliant wiring is the standard on every job, whether it is a single outlet replacement or a full rewire of a house built decades ago.
Leave the breakers to us.
Flickering lights, dead outlets, breakers that trip and won't reset, burning smells near outlets or the panel, sparking when something is plugged in, power out in one room, half the house dark after a storm: these are the calls that come in, and each one gets a straight answer. Some of them are straightforward. Others are early warnings of something that needs attention before it becomes a bigger problem.
Florida's heat and humidity put real stress on wiring, connections, and breaker contacts over time. Storm activity adds another layer: a near strike can degrade wiring or trip breakers in ways that are not immediately obvious. GFCI and AFCI protection, arc-fault and ground-fault breakers, and proper electrical fault diagnosis are all part of how we work through a repair call. Straight answers about your panel and wiring are what you get when you call, not a vague estimate followed by an upcharge once someone is on site.
Wiring is easier to deal with when somebody explains it plainly, and panel work is where that matters most. An electrical panel replacement or upgrade is not a small job, and homeowners deserve to understand what they are getting and why before anything is scheduled.
Older panels in Brevard County homes were sized for a different era. A 100-amp service that handled a house in the 1970s was not designed for a modern load: multiple air conditioning units, EV chargers, high-draw appliances, and home offices all pulling at once. A 200-amp panel upgrade gives the service capacity to carry that load safely. Subpanel installation makes sense for additions, detached garages, and workshops where running every circuit back to the main panel would be impractical. Service-entrance and meter upgrades, load calculations for new construction or major additions, and commercial panel upgrades for businesses that have outgrown their original service are all work we handle.
The scope and the price are settled before anything is scheduled. You know what the job covers before anyone shows up.
Knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch-circuit wiring, and wiring that has been extended or modified over the decades without proper documentation all show up regularly in Palm Bay homes. Home rewiring is not a quick job, but it is a straightforward one when it is planned correctly. We handle whole-home rewiring, knob-and-tube replacement, aluminum wiring remediation, and electrical rough-in for home additions and remodels.
Code violation repair is another area where we get called in after a home inspection turns up problems: outlets wired without ground, circuits that share a neutral where they should not, panel work done without a permit that now needs to be brought up to standard. Wiring upgrades for kitchens, bathrooms, and garages are common in older homes where the original circuits were not designed for the load those spaces carry now.
We show up ready to work.
When the job is done, we leave your home clean and powered, and the detail work is where that shows. Outlet installation and replacement covers GFCI outlets for kitchens, bathrooms, and exterior locations, AFCI outlets where code requires them, USB outlets for convenience, and 240-volt circuits for dryers, ranges, and other high-draw appliances. Switch work includes dimmer switch installation, three-way switch replacement, and any switch that has stopped working or was wired incorrectly to begin with.
Lighting is a wide category. Recessed lighting installation, under-cabinet lighting, security lights, motion sensor lights, and landscape lighting all involve different wiring approaches and different considerations for placement and load. Ceiling fan installation, wiring, and replacement rounds out this side of the work. A fan that wobbles, hums, or has a light kit that flickers is usually a wiring or mounting issue, and it is faster to have it looked at than to work around it.
The electrical work that matters most in this part of Florida is shaped by the climate and the housing stock. Palm Bay sits in a region with a long storm season, high lightning exposure, year-round heat, and a growing number of EV owners who need proper charging infrastructure. The sections below cover the services that are most relevant here.
Florida's warm climate means EV drivers use their vehicles year-round with no seasonal downtime, and a proper Level 2 charging setup makes that practical at home. A Level 2 EV charger installation starts with a dedicated circuit run from the panel to the garage or driveway location where the charger will mount. Before that circuit is run, a panel capacity check confirms the service can carry the added load. If it cannot, a panel upgrade is part of the same project. A home EV charging station installation done correctly means the charger draws from its own circuit and does not compete with the rest of the house.
Brevard County sees more lightning strikes per square mile than most of the country. A whole-home surge protector installed at the panel level intercepts voltage spikes before they reach appliances, electronics, and the circuits that feed HVAC equipment. It is a single installation that protects everything downstream. We take pride in the electrical work we leave behind, and surge protection is one of those jobs where the value is invisible until the day it is not.
No guesswork. No shortcuts. No loose ends.
Palm Bay's position on the Atlantic coast puts it in the path of hurricane-season storms that can knock out power for days. A transfer switch installation connects a standby generator to the home's panel in a way that is safe for the household and for utility workers restoring power on the line. Standby generator wiring, generator hookup, and the panel work that supports it are all part of what we handle. Local means we care what the neighbors think, and a generator hookup done to code is one that works when the neighborhood needs it most.
The scope and the price are confirmed on the call before anything is booked. You are told what the job involves, what it will cost, and what is included. The same number that books the job is the number to call if you have questions afterward. There is nothing left open-ended and nothing to negotiate once someone is on site, because the job was scoped before the visit was scheduled.
Your home deserves wiring that's safe and up to code, and getting there starts with understanding what the work will cost. The questions we hear most often are about panel replacement, rewiring, EV charger installation, inspection fees, and whether electricians charge by the hour or by the job. The honest answer is that it depends on the scope, and the scope is what the call is for.
When you call, you describe what is happening or what you need. We ask the questions that let us give you a rate that covers the actual job, not a floor number that climbs once someone is on site. Pricing is straightforward and explained up front. Ask what it covers and you get a straight answer. We are available every day from 9:00 AM to 9:30 PM, and the call is the fastest way to find out what is available and what the job will run.
Know the price. Know the scope. Know what happens next.
Pick up the phone and we'll get rolling.
Ready to get the power back on? Sometimes that means fixing a fault. Other times it means knowing whether the wiring in a house you are about to buy is in the shape the seller says it is. An electrical safety inspection covers panel condition, wiring age and type, outlet and switch function, GFCI and AFCI placement, and grounding. It gives you a clear picture of where the system stands and what, if anything, needs attention.
The right time to schedule one is before buying a home, after storm damage, after a DIY project that touched the wiring, or whenever something in the house feels off and you want a second set of eyes on it. Arc-fault and ground-fault protection, grounding and bonding, and the condition of older wiring are all part of what gets checked.
Palm Bay grew quickly through the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, and that growth left a wide range of panel types and wiring conditions across the city. Homes from that period commonly have 100-amp services that were adequate when they were installed but fall short of what a modern household draws across its appliances, HVAC equipment, and electronics. Aluminum branch-circuit wiring appears in a meaningful share of homes built during that era, and it requires specific handling at connections and devices to stay safe over time.
The humidity and heat here accelerate corrosion at panel connections, outlet contacts, and any outdoor or exposed wiring. That is not a reason to be alarmed, but it is a reason to have wiring looked at when something seems off rather than waiting. A panel that runs warm, connections that show discoloration, or outlets that have started to feel loose are worth a call.
Commercial electrical work follows the same principles as residential, with a wider range of load requirements and code considerations. We handle commercial repairs, panel upgrades, wiring for offices, retail spaces, new construction, and remodels. A commercial panel upgrade for a business that has added equipment, expanded its footprint, or taken over a space that was not wired for its current use is a common project. Office electrical work and retail electrical installation often involve both the rough-in during construction and the finish work once walls are closed.
Workshop circuits, garage wiring, and dedicated circuits for commercial equipment are all part of the scope. Pool and hot tub electrical hookups for mixed-use and commercial properties are handled where applicable. The process is the same as on the residential side: the scope is established on the call, the price is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and the work is done to the code that applies here in Brevard County.
Palm Bay's housing stock spans several decades, and the wiring conditions in a home built in the 1970s are different from one built in the 2000s. Knowing which neighborhoods have a high share of aluminum branch-circuit wiring, older panels, or ungrounded outlets helps us ask the right questions on the phone before anyone shows up. That local familiarity makes the diagnosis faster and the scope more accurate.
When you call (321) 499-1593, you reach someone who knows the trade and can talk through your situation.
They can scope the job on the phone, answer questions about what the work involves, and confirm what is available for scheduling. We are available every day from 9:00 AM to 9:30 PM.
We are available every day from 9:00 AM to 9:30 PM, and calls are answered during those hours. If you call and describe an urgent situation, we discuss what is available and what can be prioritized. For non-urgent work, we can usually get a job on the schedule within a few days of the initial call.
The job starts with a diagnosis, not a list of recommendations. We identify what is causing the problem, explain what we found, and tell you what it takes to fix it. If we see something else in the panel or wiring that deserves attention, we mention it and let you decide. Nothing is added to the scope without your agreement.
Call us at (321) 499-1593 and describe what you are seeing.
We want to know if something is not working the way it should after a visit, and we will figure out what needs to happen next. Clear communication from the first call to the final test is how we work, and that does not stop when the invoice is settled.
When you call to schedule, we confirm the date, the time window, and what the job involves before the call ends. If anything changes on our end, we contact you ahead of the appointment. We are available every day from 9:00 AM to 9:30 PM if you need to reach us between booking and the visit.
