FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Residential Electrical Services — 10 Most Asked Questions
Everything Palm Beach County homeowners ask before scheduling residential electrical service.

Ask about flexible payment plans when you call for your free estimate. (561) 641-8100
How do I know if my home's wiring needs to be replaced?
Warning signs include frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, burning smells, discolored outlets, two-prong ungrounded outlets throughout the home, or aluminum wiring (common in Palm Beach County homes built in the 1960s–70s). If your home is over 40 years old and has never been rewired, a professional inspection is strongly recommended.
What does a whole-home rewiring cost in Palm Beach County?
Whole-home rewiring in Palm Beach County typically ranges from $8,000–$20,000 depending on home size, accessibility, and the extent of work required. Gator Electric provides free estimates — call (561) 641-8100 or submit a request online. We provide written, itemized quotes before any work begins.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in my Palm Beach County home?
Yes. Florida law requires permits for most electrical work including new circuits, panel upgrades, rewiring, generator installations, and EV charger installations. Gator Electric handles all permit applications and final inspections with Palm Beach County Building Department — you never have to deal with the county yourself.
What is aluminum wiring and why is it a problem?
Aluminum wiring was commonly used in homes built between 1965 and 1973. It expands and contracts more than copper wiring, which can loosen connections over time and create fire hazards. Many Palm Beach County homes still have aluminum branch circuit wiring. Gator Electric can assess your home and recommend the safest remediation option.
How many outlets should a bedroom have in a modern home?
The National Electrical Code (NEC) requires outlets to be placed so that no point along a wall is more than 6 feet from an outlet. In practice, most modern bedrooms have 4–6 outlets. If your bedroom only has 1–2 outlets, adding more is a straightforward electrical upgrade that Gator Electric can complete in a single visit.
What is a GFCI outlet and where are they required in Florida homes?
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets protect against electrical shock in wet areas. Florida building code requires GFCI protection in bathrooms, kitchens (within 6 feet of a sink), garages, outdoor areas, pool/spa areas, and unfinished basements. If your home lacks GFCI protection in these areas, Gator Electric can bring it up to code.
Can I add a dedicated circuit for a large appliance like a hot tub or air conditioner?
Yes. Large appliances like hot tubs, air conditioners, electric dryers, ranges, and EV chargers require dedicated 240V circuits. Gator Electric assesses your existing panel capacity, installs the dedicated circuit with proper wire sizing and breaker protection, and pulls the required permit from Palm Beach County Building Department.
How long does a whole-home rewiring take?
Yes. Gator Electric offers financing options for larger residential electrical projects including whole-home rewiring, panel upgrades, and generator installations. Don't delay a safety upgrade because of upfront cost — ask about financing options when you call for your free estimate.
What should I do if I have a residential electrical emergency?
If you smell burning, see sparks, have a complete power outage, or have a breaker that won't reset, call Gator Electric immediately at (561) 641-8100. We provide 24/7 emergency electrical service throughout Palm Beach County. If you see flames or smoke, evacuate and call 911 first.
