How does living near the beach affect my home's electrical system?

Salt air and humidity accelerate corrosion in electrical components, especially panels, outlets, and outdoor fixtures. We recommend regular electrical maintenance inspections to catch corrosion early and use corrosion-resistant components for coastal installations.

Can you help prepare my electrical system for hurricane season?

Absolutely. We install transfer switches for generators, whole-home surge protectors, and can evaluate your panel and wiring for storm readiness. We'll also check outdoor electrical components to ensure they're secure and weatherproofed.

What should I do if my older Venice home still has aluminum wiring?

Contact us for an evaluation. Aluminum wiring has known safety issues, but can be made safer with proper retrofitting techniques like COPALUM connectors, or we can rewire sections of your home with copper for long-term peace of mind.

How does salt air affect my home's electrical system?

Salt air accelerates corrosion on all electrical components - outlets, switches, panels, and fixtures. We recommend annual electrical maintenance inspections for island homes to catch corrosion early. We also use corrosion-resistant materials for all island installations.

Should my electrical panel be relocated if it's in my garage near the ground?

Yes. Panels installed too low are at risk during storm surge and may not meet current codes for coastal flood zones. We can relocate your panel to a compliant height and ensure it's properly protected.

Do you handle electrical work for older beach cottages?

Absolutely. Many island homes were built as simple beach cottages with minimal electrical systems. We specialize in upgrading these homes to modern standards while maintaining their character. We'll assess your current system and recommend the best approach.
