Our Home City Since 1992 · Panel Upgrades · EV Chargers · Commercial · 24/7 Emergency

Gator Electric & Communications Inc is Lake Worth Beach's locally owned, licensed electrical contractor — and has been since 1992. Owner Bruce Riley founded the company right here in Lake Worth Beach after Hurricane Andrew, and our office at 3670 23rd Avenue South, Suite 1 has served this community for over three decades. We hold Florida Electrical Contractor License #EC0002289, carry full liability insurance and workers' compensation on every job, and have earned a 4.9-star rating across 190+ verified Google reviews from Lake Worth Beach residents and businesses.

Electrical Panel Upgrades in Lake Worth Beach

Lake Worth Beach is home to thousands of mid-century homes — many still running on 100-amp or even 60-amp service panels installed in the 1960s and 1970s. These panels were not designed for modern electrical loads: EV chargers, central air conditioning, induction cooktops, and home offices. Gator Electric specializes in upgrading these panels to 200-amp service, replacing Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels, and pulling the required permits from the Lake Worth Beach Building Department at 7 North Dixie Highway. We coordinate directly with Florida Power & Light for service entrance and meter base work.

Level 2 EV Charger Installation — Lake Worth Beach

As electric vehicles become the norm in Palm Beach County, Lake Worth Beach homeowners are installing Level 2 EV chargers at an accelerating pace. A Level 2 charger (240V, 30–50 amps) charges most EVs overnight — compared to 3–5 days on a standard 120V outlet. Gator Electric installs NEMA 14-50 outlets and hardwired Level 2 charging stations for all major EV brands. We handle the permit, the panel capacity check, and the FPL coordination so you don't have to.

Residential Electrical Services — Lake Worth Beach Homes

Beyond panel upgrades and EV chargers, Gator Electric handles the full range of residential electrical work in Lake Worth Beach. From rewiring older homes to adding circuits for home additions, installing ceiling fans, and troubleshooting intermittent breaker trips — our licensed electricians work cleanly, pull permits where required, and leave your home in better shape than they found it. We are familiar with the housing stock throughout Lake Worth Beach's neighborhoods including Tropical Ridge, Parrot Cove, College Park, and the historic blocks near Lake Avenue.

Commercial Electrical Services — Lake Worth Beach Businesses

Lake Worth Beach's commercial corridor along Lake Avenue, Lucerne Avenue, and the downtown arts district requires licensed commercial electrical contractors who understand both the permit process and the demands of occupied commercial spaces. Gator Electric has served Lake Worth Beach restaurants, retail shops, medical offices, and multi-unit properties since 1992. We handle tenant build-outs, panel upgrades for commercial buildings, lighting retrofits, and 24/7 emergency service for business owners who cannot afford downtime.

Awards & Recognition — Built on Alice Riley's Standards

The awards and customer recommendations Gator Electric has earned over the years are not accidental — they are the direct result of the systems, standards, and customer experience that co-founder Alice Riley has built and maintained since 1992. Alice runs the office, manages every customer touchpoint, and ensures that every job is followed through from the first call to the final inspection. Her leadership is the reason our customers return, refer their neighbors, and leave the reviews that have made Gator Electric Lake Worth Beach's most-recommended electrical contractor.
