Electrical services in Tampa
Tampa work is commercial and scheduled residential. The permit office depends on whether the address is inside the City of Tampa or in unincorporated Hillsborough County.
Tenant build-outs in Tampa
Lighting, equipment circuits, and dedicated power for commercial renovations inside the City of Tampa. The scope is walked on site. It is not priced from a floor plan photo.
Equipment and motor circuits
Dedicated feeds, conduit, and motor loads for Tampa shops and small industrial spaces. Larger services are scoped before a permit is filed.
Panel and service upgrades
Panel changeouts and service changes after we see the existing gear and confirm the Tampa Electric account. TECO sets the disconnect window, not the contractor.
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. City of Tampa residential work is usually an electric trade permit.
Troubleshooting
Tripping breakers, partial power, and dead circuits on scheduled Tampa calls. We diagnose the fault before we recommend a panel.
Rewires and additions
Rewires and remodel circuits when the job is booked ahead. Tampa is not staffed for a same-hour residential call from a local truck.
City of Tampa and Hillsborough County are different permit desks
An address inside the City of Tampa is permitted through Construction Services in the Development and Growth Management department, on the Accela portal. A house job is usually a residential electric trade permit. Unincorporated Hillsborough County is permitted through HillsGovHub. Temple Terrace and Plant City have their own building departments and are not covered by a City of Tampa permit.
Tampa accounts are Tampa Electric, not Florida Power & Light. A panel or service change waits on TECO’s disconnect window, so we check the account before we set a day. Permits and the inspection are handled by the city or county. TECO does not issue the permit.
The drive from Punta Gorda is long enough that Tampa calls are scheduled, not dispatched as a local emergency truck. Downtown, Channelside, Westshore, and nearby Hillsborough County addresses can be quoted. We do not list a Tampa street address.
