What to know in Boca Raton
Boca Raton, at the south end of the county, has everything from oceanfront condos to older single-story homes, and many condo projects need association sign-off before electrical work.
Two-prong outlets are common in older homes and should not just be swapped for three-prong outlets without grounding or GFCI protection.
Permits in Boca Raton go through the City of Boca Raton building department. Like-for-like device replacement usually does not need a permit; new circuits do.
What the job usually involves
- Diagnosing loose connections and failed devices
- GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, garages and outdoors
- Replacing two-prong outlets with properly grounded ones
Questions to ask before you hire
- Is it the device or the circuit?
- Do I need GFCI or AFCI protection here?
- What is your Florida license number? (Verify the license on myfloridalicense.com)
- Are you insured, and can you send a certificate of insurance?
