Homes and wiring in Miami
Miami's heat, salt air and hurricane season are hard on electrical equipment. Outdoor panels, meters and disconnects corrode, and 1950s–1970s homes and condos often carry original wiring and panels.
Generators, surge protection and post-storm inspections are routine, and many condo associations require licensed contractors with permits for any electrical work in units.
Weather, seasons and the utility
Miami's hurricane season runs from June through November, and the region also gets frequent summer thunderstorms with intense lightning. Heat and humidity are constant, and salt air near the coast corrodes outdoor electrical equipment much faster than inland. Storm surge and street flooding can reach ground-level outlets, panels and AC equipment, and anything that has been under water should be inspected before it is energized. Florida Power & Light serves most of Miami-Dade County and handles meters, service drops and post-storm restoration. Many condo buildings have their own rules for electrical work, generators and contractors inside units.
Local issues electricians see
- Corroded outdoor panels, meters and AC disconnects
- Generator installations for hurricane season
