What to know in Tequesta
Tequesta is the county’s northernmost village, along the Loxahatchee River and bordering Martin County, with many waterfront and older single-family homes.
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 Tequesta go through the Village of Tequesta 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?
