Homes and wiring in Fort Lauderdale
Fort Lauderdale mixes 1920s and 1930s homes in Sailboat Bend and Rio Vista, mid-century homes across Victoria Park and Coral Ridge, and condos along the beach and the canals. Hurricanes, heavy rain, flooding and salt air shape most electrical work.
In April 2023, a storm dropped more than two feet of rain on parts of the city in a single day, flooding homes and streets. Many homes sit near canals, and outdoor panels, meters and AC disconnects corrode in the salt air.
Weather, seasons and the utility
Fort Lauderdale's hurricane season runs June through November, and summer brings daily thunderstorms with heavy rain and lightning. In April 2023, a rain event dropped more than two feet of rain on parts of the city in a single day, flooding homes, streets and the airport. Many neighborhoods sit along canals and the Intracoastal, where king tides and storms push water inland, and salt air corrodes outdoor equipment. Florida Power & Light (FPL) serves Fort Lauderdale and handles meters, service drops and post-storm restoration.
