Electrical services in Fort Myers
These are the Fort Myers jobs we take. The permit office depends on whether the address is inside the city limits or in unincorporated Lee County.
Panel upgrades in Fort Myers
Service changes and panel changeouts for downtown houses and newer Lee County homes. We pull the permit, confirm the Lee County Electric Cooperative account, and schedule the disconnect before the panel comes off the wall.
Tenant build-outs
Lighting, equipment circuits, and dedicated power for Fort Myers commercial renovations. The scope is walked on site. It is not priced from a floor plan photo.
EV charger circuits
Home and small-business EV circuits after a panel load check. A charger does not go in if the service cannot carry it.
Rewires and remodeling
Rewires, additions, and remodel circuits for Fort Myers houses. Open walls get new wiring, not a cover plate over an undersized circuit.
Troubleshooting
Tripping breakers, partial power, dead circuits, and storm damage on Fort Myers service calls. We diagnose the fault before we recommend a panel.
Commercial and light industrial
Equipment circuits, conduit, and motor loads in Fort Myers. Lee County requires a design professional when residential service capacity reaches 600 amps at 240 volts, or 800 amps on a commercial or industrial system, and when the electrical work is valued over $125,000. We flag that before the permit is filed.
City of Fort Myers and Lee County are different permit desks
An address inside the City of Fort Myers is permitted through the city’s Building, Permitting and Inspections Division at 1825 Hendry Street. Unincorporated Lee County is permitted through Lee County Community Development, Building and Permitting Services, at 1500 Monroe Street. Cape Coral, Fort Myers Beach, Estero, Bonita Springs, and Sanibel have their own building departments and are not covered by a Fort Myers city permit.
Lee County requires an electric trade permit when a new circuit is added or extended, or when the service is changed. Both the city and the county are on the Florida Building Code 8th Edition (2023) and the 2020 National Electrical Code.
Most Fort Myers accounts are Lee County Electric Cooperative, not Florida Power & Light. A panel change waits on that utility’s disconnect window, so we check the account before we set a day. Work is scheduled from Punta Gorda. Downtown, McGregor, and nearby unincorporated Lee County are in the service area. We do not list a Fort Myers street address.
