Outlet and switch repair in Lake Worth Beach, FL
Outlets that are warm, buzzing, scorched or dead can signal a loose connection or failing device. Stop using a warm or scorched outlet and have it checked.
What to know in Lake Worth Beach
Lake Worth Beach is one of the few places in the county with its own city-owned electric utility, so service changes and meter work are coordinated with the city utility rather than FPL.
Permits in Lake Worth Beach go through the City of Lake Worth Beach 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?
