How does the free call-and-connect service work?
You call 844-510-1963, and a 24-hour call center takes your address and a short description of the problem. It then connects you with an independent electrical contractor who serves your city, and that contractor quotes and does the work.
There is no form to fill in and no callback to wait for, because the call itself is the booking. Electrician Fort Lauderdale Today connects homeowners with independent contractors, and this site does not warrant or guarantee any work performed, so check the license and insurance yourself before work begins.
Is there a 24-hour emergency electrician in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes, the call center runs 24 hours a day, so you can call 844-510-1963 at any hour. If there is fire, smoke or someone has been shocked, call 911 first.
See our emergency electrician page for what counts as an electrical emergency and what to do while you wait.
Does an electrician need to be licensed in Florida?
Yes. Florida law says a person may not practice electrical contracting unless they are certified or registered, and a first offense is a first-degree misdemeanor.
Repeat offenses, and offenses committed during an emergency, carry felony penalties under the same statute. That is why we ask you to verify every contractor rather than take anyone's word for it.
How do I check a Florida electrician's license?
Use the state's MyFloridaLicense search, which lets you look up a licensee by name or license number. Ask the contractor for the number when you call and confirm the status before work starts.
Can a homeowner do their own electrical work in Florida?
Only in limited cases. Florida exempts an owner who applies for the permit, supervises and does the work on their own single-family or duplex home, provided it is for their own use and not intended for sale or lease.
The same exemption lets an owner act as their own electrical contractor on a commercial building only when aggregate construction costs are under $75,000. Even under the exemption, the owner must personally sign the permit application after receiving a disclosure statement.
Do you need a permit to replace an electrical panel in Broward County?
Yes: the City of Pompano Beach states that replacing an electrical panel, whether commercial or residential, requires an electrical permit. Fort Lauderdale lists service changes among its permit types and takes applications through its LauderBuild portal.
Rules can differ by city, so ask the contractor which building department handles your address. See our panel upgrade page and your city's page in the service areas.
