Florida Electrical Code GFCI Requirements Licensed Electricians Serving Margate
Florida follows the National Electrical Code, which requires GFCI protection in bathrooms, kitchens (countertop outlets serving work surfaces), garages, outdoors, laundry areas, basements, unfinished areas, and within 6 feet of any sink. Homes built before these requirements became standard often lack protection in critical locations. We can bring your entire home up to current safety standards. Margate and Broward County's salt air and humidity cause accelerated corrosion in outdoor and garage outlets. We use corrosion-resistant stainless steel or PVC covers and weather-rated outlets designed for coastal environments.
