Electrician Near Me in Miami & South Florida – Here Are The Types Of Services We Offer
At Fab’s Construction & Remodeling, we’ve performed thousands of electrical jobs across Miami and South Florida. Whether you need a simple outlet repair or a complete service upgrade, we’ve got you covered:
Electrical Panel Upgrades
Upgrade your old or undersized electrical panel to meet modern power demands. We install 100-amp, 200-amp, and larger panels, ensuring safe distribution of electricity for your entire home. Panel upgrade costs in Miami range from $2,000 to $5,000+ for a standard 200-amp service, depending on whether the meter base, mast, and service entrance cable need replacement. Most Miami homes built before 1990 have 100-amp panels that can’t handle modern AC units, EV chargers, and kitchen appliances simultaneously.
Whole-Home Rewiring
For older Miami homes with outdated wiring—knob-and-tube, aluminum, or cloth-insulated—we offer complete or partial rewiring to bring your electrical system up to code and eliminate fire hazards. Full rewiring in Miami costs $8,000 to $20,000+ depending on home size and accessibility. Partial rewiring of specific circuits runs $2,000 to $6,000.
Lighting Installation
Enhance your home with new interior and exterior lighting. We install recessed lights ($150–$350 per fixture), chandeliers ($300–$1,500+ depending on complexity), pendant lights, under-cabinet lighting, and landscape lighting. We also install LED upgrades that reduce energy costs by up to 75% compared to incandescent bulbs.
Ceiling Fan Installation
Add comfort and style with ceiling fans. We handle mounting, wiring, and balancing to ensure quiet, wobble-free operation. Ceiling fan installation in Miami runs $150–$450 per fan, depending on whether new wiring is needed and ceiling height.
Recessed Lighting & LED Upgrades
Recessed lighting is one of the most requested electrical upgrades in Miami. We install can lights and wafer-thin LED downlights with proper insulation contact (IC) ratings. Recessed lighting installation runs $150–$350 per light installed, including wiring and trim.
Generator Installation
Stay powered during outages with a standby or portable generator. We install automatic transfer switches, gas lines (for generators), and all electrical connections to code. Whole-home standby generator installation runs $5,000–$15,000+ installed, depending on generator size and fuel type. Portable generator hookups with transfer switch run $1,500–$3,500.
Smart Home & Automation
Integrate smart lighting, thermostats, motorized shades, and whole-home automation. We work with leading brands including Lutron, Control4, and Savant. Smart lighting installation runs $300–$1,200 per room depending on complexity.
Electrical Safety Inspections
Before buying a home, after a renovation, or as part of routine maintenance, we provide thorough electrical safety inspections to identify hazards and recommend improvements. Inspections run $200–$500 depending on home size.
GFCI & AFCI Protection
Protect your family with ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCI) for kitchens, baths, and outdoors, and arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCI) for bedrooms and living areas. GFCI outlet installation runs $150–$350 per outlet, including the device. These life-saving devices are required by code in specific locations—and they prevent thousands of electrical accidents every year.
Outdoor & Landscape Lighting
Illuminate your property’s architecture, pathways, and gardens with low-voltage or line-voltage landscape lighting. We design and install systems that enhance curb appeal and security. Landscape lighting runs $200–$600 per fixture installed, depending on system type.
EV Charger Installation
Prepare your home for electric vehicles with Level 2 EV charger installation. We handle load calculations, panel capacity, and permit requirements. Level 2 EV charger installation in Miami costs $750–$2,500 depending on panel capacity, distance from the panel, and whether a subpanel or service upgrade is required.
Surge Protection
Protect your electronics and appliances from power surges with whole-home surge protection devices installed at the main panel. Whole-home surge protection runs $300–$800 installed. Miami’s frequent lightning storms make this a smart investment—one surge can destroy thousands of dollars in electronics.
Outdoor Outlets & Pool Wiring
We install weather-resistant outdoor outlets with GFCI protection and handle pool equipment wiring, including pumps, heaters, and lighting. Pool wiring requires specialized knowledge of bonding and grounding requirements—we handle it correctly.
Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting
From flickering lights to dead outlets to tripping breakers, we diagnose and repair electrical issues quickly and safely. We use advanced tools to trace circuits and identify problems without unnecessary wall damage.
Permit & Code Compliance
We handle all necessary electrical permits, ensuring your work meets the Florida Building Code and passes Miami-Dade County inspection. Electrical permits are required for most work, including panel upgrades, new circuits, and fixture replacements involving new wiring.
Why Miami Homeowners Choose Fab's Construction & Remodeling for Electrical Services
Expertise in Miami-Dade Codes & Permitting: We have deep experience navigating Miami-Dade County’s electrical permit process. Electrical permits are required for most work, including panel upgrades, new circuits, and any work involving new wiring. We handle all permit applications, inspections, and coordination—so you don’t have to.
Florida Building Code & NEC Compliance: All electrical work must comply with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) , which is adopted into Florida law. Miami-Dade County also has its own amendments and requirements—including High-Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) provisions for certain installations. We stay current with code changes, including the 8th Edition Florida Building Code (2023).
Older Miami Homes & Outdated Wiring: Many Miami homes built before the 1980s still have outdated wiring—knob-and-tube, aluminum branch circuits, or cloth-insulated wiring that has deteriorated over time. These systems are fire hazards and fail to meet current code. We have extensive experience upgrading older homes with modern, safe electrical systems.

Local Knowledge & Community Focus: As a family-owned business with 25+ years serving South Florida, we know Miami’s neighborhoods intimately—from the high-rise condos of Brickell to the historic homes of Coral Gables and the family suburbs of Kendall . We treat your home with the same care we would our own.
Comprehensive Services Under One Roof: From plumbing to flooring , we manage every trade, ensuring consistent quality and efficient project flow. If you’re remodeling a kitchen or bathroom, we coordinate electrical with plumbing, cabinetry, and tile.

FAQs for Miami Electrical Services
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Miami?
Yes. Most electrical work in Miami-Dade County requires a permit, including panel upgrades, new circuits, rewiring, generator installation, and any work involving new wiring. Replacing a switch, outlet, or light fixture in the same location typically does not require a permit. When in doubt, we’ll advise you on your specific situation and handle all permitting on your behalf.
How much does an electrician cost in Miami?
Licensed electricians in Miami typically charge $75–$150 per hour for labor, with service call fees of $75–$200 on top. Most standard electrical repairs run $200–$600. Larger jobs—panel upgrades, rewiring, generator installation—run significantly higher. We provide detailed, upfront estimates so you know exactly what to expect.
How much does an electrical panel upgrade cost in Miami?
A 200-amp panel upgrade in Miami typically costs $2,000–$5,000+ installed, depending on whether the meter base, service mast, and service entrance cable need replacement. This includes the panel, breakers, permit, and inspection. Upgrading from 100-amp to 200-amp service is one of the most common electrical improvements in Miami, especially for homeowners adding EV chargers, tankless water heaters, or new AC systems.
What are the signs I need to rewire my home?
Signs include:
Two-prong ungrounded outlets throughout the house
Aluminum branch circuit wiring (common in homes built 1965–1973)
Knob-and-tube wiring (pre-1950s homes)
Cloth-insulated wiring that is brittle or crumbling
Flickering lights or frequently tripping breakers
Burning smells or discolored outlets
Frequent electrical shocks from appliances
If you’re seeing any of these, call us immediately. Whole-home rewiring costs $8,000–$20,000+ but eliminates serious fire hazards.
What is the difference between GFCI and AFCI?
GFCI (ground-fault circuit interrupter) protects against electrical shock in wet areas like kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoors. It monitors the current flowing out versus returning and trips if there’s a ground fault—like current flowing through a person.
AFCI (arc-fault circuit interrupter) protects against electrical fires by detecting dangerous arcing in wiring. Arc faults can occur from damaged wires, loose connections, or worn insulation.
Both are required by the National Electrical Code in specific locations. GFCI outlets cost $150–$350 each installed. AFCI breakers run $75–$150 each installed.
Do you install EV chargers in Miami?
Yes. We install Level 2 EV chargers (240V) for all major brands including Tesla, ChargePoint, and JuiceBox. Installation costs $750–$2,500 depending on your electrical panel capacity, distance from the panel to the charger location, and whether a panel upgrade is needed. We handle all permits and can recommend chargers based on your vehicle and charging needs.
What size generator do I need for my Miami home?
For a typical Miami home, a 7,000–22,000 watt standby generator can power essential circuits (refrigerator, AC, lights, internet) during an outage. Whole-home generators capable of running central AC typically range from 14,000–22,000 watts. Portable generators (5,000–12,000 watts) can power essentials but require manual setup. We help you size the right generator based on your home’s needs.
How much does recessed lighting installation cost in Miami?
Recessed lighting installation in Miami runs $150–$350 per light installed, including the fixture, wiring, and trim. For a typical living room or kitchen with 6–8 lights, expect $1,000–$2,500. Pricing depends on ceiling height, attic access, and whether new wiring is required.
Do you offer emergency electrical services in Miami?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency electrical service for situations such as power outages, sparking outlets, burning smells, and other urgent issues. Call us anytime for immediate help. Emergency calls run $250–$600 for the first hour.
How can I tell if my electrical panel is overloaded?
Signs include:
Breakers that trip frequently
Lights that flicker when appliances turn on
A panel that feels warm or has a burning smell
Fuses that blow repeatedly
Buzzing or humming sounds from the panel
Not enough breaker spaces for new circuits
If you’re experiencing any of these, call us for a professional assessment before a more serious problem occurs.
Do you install smart home electrical systems?
Absolutely. We install smart lighting controls (Lutron, Control4), smart thermostats, motorized shades, whole-home automation, and smart security cameras. We work with leading brands and can integrate systems so they work seamlessly together.
Additional Questions for Miami Electrical Services
Q1: What should I do if I see sparks coming from an outlet?
A: First, don’t touch it. Turn off the circuit breaker that controls that outlet (if you can safely do so). Then call us immediately. Sparking outlets indicate a serious problem—possibly loose wiring, a short circuit, or a failing device. This is a fire hazard and should be addressed by a licensed electrician as soon as possible.
Q2: Can I replace my own outlets and switches in Miami?
A: While Florida law allows homeowners to do some electrical work on their own primary residence, we strongly advise against it for anything beyond simple fixture replacements. Improper wiring can cause fires, shocks, and code violations. Plus, any work you do may not be covered by insurance if it causes a problem. Licensed electricians carry insurance and know the code—the small cost of hiring a professional is worth the safety and peace of mind.
Q3: What is a load calculation, and why does it matter?
A: A load calculation determines how much electrical capacity your home needs based on square footage, appliances, lighting, and other factors. Before adding a new circuit, EV charger, or tankless water heater, we perform a load calculation to ensure your panel can handle the additional demand. If it can’t, a service upgrade may be required. This prevents overloaded circuits and ensures safety.
Q4: How long does a panel upgrade take?
A: A standard panel upgrade takes 4–8 hours for the actual installation. However, because the power must be shut off during the work, most homeowners plan for a full-day project. If a new meter base, service mast, or underground wiring is required, the project may take 1–2 days. Permits and inspections add time to the overall schedule.
Q5: What is the best time of year to do electrical work in Miami?
A: Electrical work can be done year-round in Miami. However, if you’re upgrading your panel or doing major work that requires the power to be shut off, we recommend scheduling during cooler months (November–March) when you won’t be without AC for long. For hurricane preparedness, we recommend installing generators and surge protection before storm season (June–November).
Q6: Do you offer financing for major electrical projects?
A: Yes. We offer flexible financing options for larger projects like panel upgrades, rewiring, generator installation, and EV chargers. Contact us for details during your consultation.
Q7: Can you help with electrical for a kitchen or bathroom remodel?
A: Absolutely. We work closely with our remodeling team to handle all electrical aspects of kitchen and bathroom renovations—including new circuits for appliances, GFCI outlets, under-cabinet lighting, exhaust fans, heated floors, and more. For complete transformations, see our kitchen remodeling Miami and bathroom remodeling Miami services.
Q8: What areas of Miami do you serve?
A: We serve all of Miami-Dade County, including Coral Gables, Brickell, Coconut Grove, Kendall, Pinecrest, South Miami, Aventura, Bal Harbour, Key Biscayne, Doral, Miami Beach, and all other municipalities and unincorporated areas.
Q9: Do you install whole-house surge protection?
A: Yes. We install whole-home surge protection devices at the main panel, which protect your entire electrical system from power surges caused by lightning, utility switching, and large appliances cycling on and off. Whole-home surge protection runs $300–$800 installed—a small price to protect thousands of dollars in electronics and appliances. In Miami’s lightning-prone climate, this is a smart investment.
Q10: What is the difference between a 100-amp and 200-amp panel?
A: 100-amp panels are standard in older homes (built before 1990). They can typically handle a standard home with central AC, electric range, and a few major appliances—but they’re easily overloaded when adding EV chargers, tankless water heaters, or additional AC units.
200-amp panels are the modern standard for single-family homes. They provide double the capacity and can handle today’s electrical demands, including EV charging, tankless water heaters, and multiple AC systems. Most homes upgrading from 100-amp to 200-amp service cost $2,000–$5,000 installed.
For very large homes or those with multiple EV chargers, a 320-amp or 400-amp service may be recommended.

About Miami, Florida
Miami is a global city unlike any other—a vibrant mosaic of cultures, architectural styles, and neighborhoods, each with its own distinct personality. From the art deco pastels of South Beach to the sleek glass towers of Brickell , the historic charm of Coconut Grove to the family-friendly streets of Kendall , Miami homeowners need electrical systems that are as reliable as they are efficient.
Why Electrical in Miami Is Different
Miami’s subtropical climate, aging housing stock, and hurricane season create unique electrical challenges that homeowners in other parts of the country don’t face.
Lightning and power surges are common during Miami’s storm season (June–November). Whole-home surge protection is essential to protect electronics and appliances from damage.
Humidity and salt air in coastal areas accelerate corrosion on outdoor electrical components, including panels, meter bases, and outdoor outlets. We specify corrosion-resistant materials for coastal properties.
Aging infrastructure is a major issue. Many Miami homes built before 1980 still have original electrical systems—100-amp panels, aluminum wiring, or knob-and-tube wiring that doesn’t meet current code. These systems are fire hazards and should be upgraded.
HVHZ requirements (High-Velocity Hurricane Zone) apply to certain electrical installations in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, particularly outdoor equipment and generator connections.
Hurricane season creates power outage risks. Standby generators and portable generator hookups are increasingly common in Miami homes.
Electrical by Neighborhood
Coral Gables – Historic homes with original knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring that often need full rewiring.
Brickell – High-rise condos with shared electrical infrastructure and HOA-managed systems.
Coconut Grove – Older homes requiring careful wiring upgrades that preserve historic character.
Kendall – Suburban homes built in the 1970s and 80s with 100-amp panels that need upgrading.
Pinecrest – Estate homes requiring whole-home automation, generator backup, and premium lighting.
Working with Local Regulations
Miami-Dade County requires electrical permits for most work, including panel upgrades, new circuits, and rewiring. All work must comply with the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70) and the Florida Building Code (8th Edition, 2023) . We handle all permitting and inspections as part of our service.
The Climate Factor
Miami’s subtropical climate shapes every electrical installation. We build with that in mind—installing surge protection, specifying corrosion-resistant materials for outdoor installations, and ensuring proper grounding and bonding for safety. Your electrical system will be safe, reliable, and built to last.
Fab’s Construction & Remodeling brings this deep understanding of Miami’s electrical challenges, building codes, and neighborhood character to every project we undertake.
