Emergency Electrical Repair

When a breaker will not hold, an outlet sparks, or power fails after a storm, waiting is not an option. Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay provides same-day and emergency electrical services across Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, with licensed electricians who diagnose the actual cause — not just the visible symptom — and restore safe power quickly.

Electrical Safety Inspections

A documented electrical inspection identifies safety concerns, code issues, and insurance-flagged conditions before they become expensive problems. We inspect panels, wiring, grounding, GFCI/AFCI protection, and surge protection, and provide documentation that supports home sales and insurance 4-point reviews — ideally before a deadline forces the timeline.

Electrical Panel Inspections and Upgrades

Modern Tampa Bay homes run dual HVAC systems, EV chargers, pool equipment, and home offices on panels never designed for that load. We diagnose breaker tripping, restore serviceable panels, and perform 200-amp upgrades — including TECO coordination, permits, inspection, and code-required surge protection. Panel upgrades in Tampa typically run $3,000–$4,500.

EV Charger Installation

We install Level 2 home EV chargers across Tampa Bay, including the dedicated 240-volt circuit and any panel work required to support it. Many older homes need a panel evaluation first, and we handle that assessment, the permit, and the inspection as part of the installation.

Generator and Backup Power Installation

After Hurricanes Helene and Milton, backup power moved from a luxury to a priority for many Tampa Bay families. We install standby generators, transfer switches, and battery backup systems including the Anker Solix E10 — and help you choose the right solution for your home, budget, and outage tolerance.

→ Generator and backup power in Tampa Bay → /tampa-bay/home-generators

Outlet and Switch Installation and Repair

Dead outlets, warm switches, and GFCI devices that keep tripping are among the most common calls we handle. We trace the circuit, inspect every termination, and fix the underlying cause — not just swap the device and hope. New outlet and switch installation, including dedicated circuits, is handled with full code compliance.

Lighting Installation

From recessed and under-cabinet lighting to outdoor, landscape, and security lighting, we install residential and commercial lighting to code — with the weatherproofing, GFCI protection, and surge protection that Tampa Bay’s climate and lightning demand. Unlike a handyman or landscape company, a licensed electrician verifies circuit capacity and pulls the permit.

Ceiling Fan Installation

Ceiling fan installation and replacement — including new fan-rated boxes, wiring for rooms without existing fixtures, and smart-fan controls — is a fast, high-value upgrade for Tampa Bay homes where airflow reduces cooling costs during the long summer.

→ Ceiling fan installation in Tampa Bay → /tampa-bay/ceiling-fan-installation

Kitchen Remodel Wiring

Kitchen renovations require dedicated circuits for appliances, updated GFCI protection, proper counter and island receptacle placement, and lighting circuits that meet current code. We handle the electrical scope of a remodel from rough-in through final inspection, coordinating with your contractor and timeline.

Whole-Home Rewiring

Older Tampa Bay homes with aluminum branch-circuit wiring, knob-and-tube remnants, or deteriorated wiring often need partial or full rewiring for safety and insurability. We assess conductor type, document findings for insurance, and perform CPSC-approved remediation or full copper rewiring.

Commercial Electrical Service

We serve apartment complexes, retail plazas, office buildings, and warehouses across Tampa Bay with preventative maintenance, emergency repair, lighting and outlet installation, EV charging infrastructure, and code-compliance work sized for commercial three-phase and light-industrial systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I choose Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay?

Homeowners and businesses choose Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay for licensed, code-compliant electrical service backed by 1,000+ Google reviews, a Florida Certified Electrical Contractor license (EC13015799), same-day and emergency availability, and the Neighborly Done Right Promise. We serve both residential and light-commercial customers across Hillsborough and Pinellas counties with one licensed crew, upfront pricing, and full permitting and inspection handling.

Does Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay offer emergency electrical service?

Yes. We provide same-day and emergency electrical response across the Tampa Bay area for urgent issues like breakers that will not hold, sparking or dead outlets, burning smells, and post-storm power problems. Call for urgent service.

Can Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay install EV chargers?

Yes. We install Level 2 home EV chargers across Tampa Bay, including the dedicated 240-volt circuit and any panel upgrade required to support the load. Many older homes need a panel evaluation first, which we handle as part of the installation along with the permit and inspection.

Does Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay handle electrical panel upgrades?

Yes. We diagnose breaker tripping, restore serviceable panels, and perform full 200-amp panel upgrades, which typically run $3,000–$4,500 in Tampa. Every upgrade includes TECO coordination, permits, inspection, and the whole-home surge protection now required by Florida code on panel change-outs.

Can I schedule an electrical inspection before buying or selling a home?

Yes, and we recommend it. A pre-listing inspection (60–90 days before listing) or pre-renewal inspection (90–120 days before your insurance renewal) identifies Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels, aluminum wiring, and missing GFCI protection before they delay a sale or trigger an insurance corrective-action deadline — giving you control over timeline and cost.

Does Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay work with property managers?

Yes. We provide commercial and multi-unit electrical support for property managers across Tampa Bay, including preventative maintenance, emergency repair, lighting and outlet installation, tenant-improvement wiring, and code-compliance work for apartment complexes, retail plazas, offices, and warehouses.

What areas does Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay serve?

We serve the greater Tampa Bay region across Hillsborough and Pinellas counties, including South Tampa, Westchase, Lutz, Odessa, Carrollwood, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, Dunedin and surrounding communities and beach areas. 

How do I book an appointment with Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay?

Call or book online. Same-day appointments are available for urgent issues, and we provide upfront written pricing before any work begins.

What should I ask before hiring an electrician in Tampa?

Confirm the contractor holds a Florida Certified Electrical Contractor license (verifiable at myfloridalicense.com), carries general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, is willing to pull required permits, has a strong and recent review history, and provides written estimates before starting. Mr. Electric of Tampa Bay meets all of these criteria.

When should I call a licensed electrician instead of doing it myself?

Call a licensed electrician any time work involves the panel, new circuits or wiring, a breaker that keeps tripping, a warm outlet, a buzzing sound, a burning smell, or any 240-volt circuit. In Florida, most electrical work beyond simple like-for-like device swaps must meet code and pass inspection, and incorrect work can void insurance coverage — so when in doubt, a licensed electrician is both the safer and the legally cleaner choice.
