Boca Raton Electrician — Licensed, Local, and Ready to Schedule
Edwin's Electric LLC has served Boca Raton homeowners, estate properties, and commercial tenants across Palm Beach County since 2013.
What Makes Electrical Work in Boca Raton Different
Boca Raton straddles two distinct permitting jurisdictions. Residential jobs in the coastal and inland ZIP codes run through the Palm Beach County Building Division — a separate process, inspection cadence, and FPL coordination timeline from Broward County immediately to the south. Commercial tenant improvements in the Mizner Park corridor and along Federal Highway go through the City of Boca Raton's own commercial permitting office, which operates on its own review schedule. Not knowing which track applies before pulling permits is one of the most common causes of stalled inspections.
Homes built during the 1970s and 1980s build-out era — concentrated in the coastal ZIP codes and in older inland neighborhoods — frequently carry 100A or undersized 150A services. Those panels were never sized for today's simultaneous loads: whole-home generators, Level 2 EV chargers, modern HVAC systems, and induction ranges. A 200A or 400A service upgrade typically requires scheduling an FPL disconnect and reconnect, a step Edwin's Electric coordinates directly so the homeowner isn't navigating utility paperwork mid-project.
Gated communities off Yamato and Glades Road — Broken Sound, The Oaks, Boca Country Club, Royal Palm Yacht Club — add HOA architectural review for any exterior equipment. Generator placement, conduit routing visibility, and EV charger pedestal finishes often require HOA sign-off before county permits are issued. Edwin's Electric has handled that layered approval process repeatedly and factors it into scheduling from the start.

The Boca Raton Jobs Edwin's Electric Handles Most Often
Panel upgrades are the most requested service across Boca's older residential stock. An undersized panel that managed a 1980s household can't support an EV charger and a standby generator running simultaneously — and Florida's storm season makes generator capacity a practical necessity, not a luxury. Upgrading to a 200A or 400A service is a permit-required job with an FPL coordination component; Edwin's Electric manages both sides of that process.
Intracoastal and dock electrical work is another regular category in Boca. Properties along the waterway frequently need shore power upgrades, dock lighting, and boat lift circuits — work that requires GFCI protection standards specific to marine environments and, in some cases, coordination with the property's HOA or local code requirements for over-water installations.
On the commercial side, tenant build-outs in the Mizner Park area and professional parks east and west of I-95 generate consistent demand for load calculations, panel additions, lighting design, and LED retrofits. A medical office, restaurant, or retail tenant each carries a distinct set of electrical load requirements, and getting rough-in right the first time prevents re-inspection delays that push back a lease commencement date.
Common questions
- How long does a panel upgrade take in Boca Raton, and do you handle the FPL coordination?
- Most 200A service upgrades are completed in a single day once the permit is issued and FPL has scheduled the disconnect. Edwin's Electric handles the FPL coordination and permit application directly — the homeowner doesn't need to manage utility paperwork separately. Timing varies based on Palm Beach County Building Division review queues and FPL scheduling windows at the time of the job.
- My HOA in Boca Raton requires approval before I can install a generator or EV charger. Can you help with that?
- Yes. Communities like Broken Sound, The Oaks, and Boca Country Club commonly require HOA architectural review before exterior equipment is installed. Edwin's Electric can provide documentation — equipment specs, conduit routing diagrams, finish details — to support that review. It's best to start the HOA process before pulling the county permit so both tracks close close together.
- Do you work on older homes in Boca Raton with aluminum wiring or outdated panels?
- Yes. Boca's coastal ZIP codes have a significant number of homes built in the 1970s and 1980s with aluminum branch-circuit wiring and panels that are no longer up to current code. Edwin's Electric assesses the scope of the issue and can perform a full rewire, a targeted repair with approved aluminum-rated devices, or a panel replacement depending on what the inspection and load requirements call for.
