Questions

Does an electrician need a Florida license? Yes — electrical contractors are licensed by the DBPR (Certified Electrical Contractor, EC). Panel work and new circuits legally require a licensed contractor and usually a permit. Verify the number on the listing before you book.
Why does Florida need whole-home surge protection? Florida is the lightning capital of the US. A $300–$700 panel-mounted surge protector defends your AC, appliances and electronics — many insurers now give a discount for having one.
Is a generator worth it in Florida? After the 2024 storms, demand spiked. A whole-home standby generator ($9k–$15k installed) keeps AC, fridge and medical equipment running through outages. Portable + transfer switch is the budget route at $1,500–$3,000.
My panel is a Federal Pacific or Zinsco — is that a problem? Yes. Many Florida insurers refuse to cover homes with Federal Pacific Stab-Lok or Zinsco panels because of documented fire risk. Replacement ($1,800–$4,000) is often required to keep or get homeowners insurance.
