Reliable Home Power: Professional Service in Fort Lauderdale

Electrical issues in Fort Lauderdale are often exacerbated by Broward County's high humidity and salt-air environment. Ignoring these warning signs can lead to property damage or safety hazards.

Compromised Service Mast / Weather Head

Damage to the structural pipe that attaches utility lines to the property prevents the safe restoration of power. Electrical certification is required for reconnection.

Submerged Electrical Components

Water intrusion into outlets, panels, or baseboard heaters leaves corrosive deposits that can lead to electrical failure or fire risk even after drying.

Surge-Related Panel Failure

High-voltage events during storms can cause mechanical failure in older electrical panels, evidenced by the smell of ozone or visible thermal damage.

Partial Phase Failure (Lost Neutral)

Symptoms such as flickering lights or only half of the property's circuits functioning indicate a serious failure in the main service lines.

Improper Generator Integration

Using portable generators without professional transfer switches can lead to dangerous backfeeding into the utility grid and property wiring.

Structural Meter Enclosure Corrosion

Storm-driven saline spray contributes to the rapid corrosion of the meter base, creating a potential fire hazard at the point of entry.

Common Storm Damage Electrical Repair Questions from Fort Lauderdale Homeowners

No. Working on a service entrance is hazardous due to the presence of high-voltage lines. Repairs must be performed by a licensed professional and inspected prior to use.
While the utility provider manages the incoming wires, the mast, weather head, and meter base are part of the property's infrastructure and the owner's responsibility to maintain.
Equipment that has been exposed to water typically requires replacement to prevent future thermal failure caused by internal corrosion and conductive mineral deposits.
Once repairs are completed and have passed a municipal safety inspection, the utility provider is notified that the system is safe to receive power.
Transfer switches and interlock kits can be integrated into the panel to allow for the safe use of portable power sources until utility service is restored.
If flooding is expected or you evacuate, yes—turn off the main breaker. This prevents damage to your electrical system from surges when power is restored. If you return to standing water near your panel, do not touch it—call a licensed electrician.
