Does homeowner insurance cover storm electrical damage?

Most Florida homeowner policies cover electrical damage from named storms, including panel replacement, rewiring, and service mast repair. We provide detailed damage documentation and repair estimates formatted for insurance claim submission.

How soon after a storm can electrical repairs begin?

We begin assessments as soon as conditions are safe. Priority goes to homes with immediate safety hazards—downed service lines, water-damaged panels, and exposed wiring. Non-emergency repairs are typically scheduled within 24-48 hours of the storm passing.

My Hollywood home was built in the 1970s—what electrical issues should I expect?

Hollywood saw major residential growth in the 1970s-80s, and those homes are now 40-50 years old with electrical systems that weren't designed for today's demands. Common issues include undersized 100-amp panels, aluminum wiring (a fire risk), outdated breakers, and insufficient outlets. We've modernized hundreds of Hollywood Hills and Emerald Hills homes from this era—it's one of our most common projects in the area.

Do you service the beach condos along A1A in Hollywood?

Absolutely. We're familiar with the high-rise and mid-rise buildings along Hollywood Beach and the Broadwalk. Condo electrical work requires working with building management, understanding shared electrical infrastructure, and often navigating HOA approval processes. Whether you need a panel upgrade, EV charger installation, or lighting refresh, we handle the coordination so you don't have to.

Consumer Alert

Stopping Domestic Electrical Hazards in Hollywood

Electrical issues in Hollywood 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 Questions

Common Storm Damage Electrical Repair Questions from Hollywood Homeowners

Is it safe to repair a damaged weather head manually?

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.

What parts of the service entrance are the homeowner's responsibility?

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.

Can outlets that were affected by storm water be reused?

Equipment that has been exposed to water typically requires replacement to prevent future thermal failure caused by internal corrosion and conductive mineral deposits.

How is power reconnection managed after a repair?

Once repairs are completed and have passed a municipal safety inspection, the utility provider is notified that the system is safe to receive power.

Are emergency power solutions available during a restoration?

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.

Should I turn off my main breaker during a hurricane?

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.
