Electrical Safety Inspection in Naples, FL
After Hurricane Ian's storm surge flooded much of Old Naples, Aqualane Shores and Royal Harbor in 2022, many homes needed electrical inspections before power could safely be restored, and any panel, outlet or equipment that had been under salt water usually had to be replaced. When buying in Naples, ask about flood history and check whether the panel and meter sit above flood level.

What's different about electrical safety inspection in Naples
Docks, boat lifts and pools deserve a close look for corrosion and proper bonding. Ask for a written report with photos. Repairs need permits from the City of Naples or Collier County.
Many homes were rebuilt or renovated after Ian, often with panels and equipment raised above flood level. Older homes may still have original panels, and large waterfront homes often have pools, docks and boat lifts with their own circuits.
