What to know in Jupiter

Jupiter sits where the Loxahatchee River meets the Atlantic, so many homes deal with salt air, humidity and summer storms that are hard on outdoor electrical equipment.

Permits in Jupiter go through the Town of Jupiter 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?
