How we work

The same standard on a $200 repair and a $20,000 service change

Work is installed to the National Electrical Code edition adopted by the Florida Building Code. Where a permit is required, we pull it — city addresses through the City of Delray Beach Building Division, which also requires the electrician to be registered with the city, and unincorporated addresses through Palm Beach County Planning, Zoning & Building — and we meet the inspector.

You get the cause explained in plain language, an estimate in writing, and a clear statement of what is urgent versus what can be scheduled. We don't publish flat prices for diagnostic work because the honest number depends on what is actually wrong.

Licensed, insured, and permitted

Delray Beach Air Conditioning & Electrical is a collective of licensed electricians and air conditioning technicians. Work is performed by licensed, insured crews, including permitting and inspection where your municipality requires it. Open 24 hours · 7 days a week.

Start here

Not sure which service you need? Match the symptom

Most people call us describing a symptom, not a service category. Here is how the common ones usually sort out — though the only honest way to know is to test it.

A breaker trips over and over

Usually an overloaded circuit, a failing motor or appliance, a damaged cable, or a breaker that has aged out. When the circuit in question feeds the air conditioner, the cause can sit on either side of the AC/electrical line — we cover that specific case in detail in why an AC breaker keeps tripping. Otherwise start with electrical repairs and troubleshooting.

You are out of breaker space, or the panel is obsolete

A full load center, a panel brand with a documented defect history that your insurer asks about, or a 100-amp service that cannot carry a new AC system, EV charger, or generator all point to an electrical panel upgrade, sized from a real load calculation rather than a guess.

Two-prong outlets, cloth or aluminum wiring

Common in the 1950s and 1960s housing stock west of Swinton and in mid-century homes near the beach. Sometimes the answer is targeted remediation, sometimes it is a staged rewire — see house rewiring and new circuits. If you are buying the house or your insurer is asking questions, start with an electrical safety inspection instead.

You are adding a large new load

An EV charger or a standby generator both start with the same question: what does the existing service actually have left? That load calculation is the difference between an install that passes inspection and one that gets corrected twice.

Outdoor devices keep failing

East of Federal Highway, salt air is usually the answer — corroded receptacles, covers that no longer seal, rusted disconnects, and fixtures that die early. The fix is coastal-rated replacements, covered under lighting installation and repairs.

Burning smell, sparking, or a hot panel

Stop reading and call. These are live hazards, not scheduling problems. Turn the circuit off at the panel if it is safe to reach, call the fire department if there is smoke, and call our 24-hour line at (561) 816-5331.

Local conditions

What is different about electrical work in Delray Beach

  • A large share of the housing stock predates current code. That shows up as two-prong receptacles, missing GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, garages, and exterior locations, undersized services, and load centers that are simply full.
  • Salt air east of Federal Highway and along A1A corrodes exterior devices, disconnects, and fixture housings years earlier than inland. Coastal locations need weather-resistant devices and correctly rated enclosures, not standard ones.
  • Condominium and HOA buildings dominate the coastal corridor. Anything touching a common element, a shared electrical room, or a building exterior needs association approval before the permit path even opens.
  • Hurricane season drives two categories of work: standby generator and transfer switch installations before the season, and post-storm damage, surge, and water-intrusion repairs after it.
  • Pool, spa, and dock equipment is common here, and bonding and GFCI requirements for it are among the most frequently missed items we find on older properties.
  • City of Delray Beach addresses permit through the city Building Division and also require the electrical contractor to be registered with the city; unincorporated addresses go through Palm Beach County Planning, Zoning & Building. Those are two different processes with two different timelines.

Emergency

24-hour emergency electrician in Delray Beach

Some electrical problems are scheduling problems and some are hazards. A burning smell at a device or panel, visible arcing or sparking, a panel or breaker that is hot to the touch, scorched cover plates, or losing power to part of the house after a storm all belong in the second group. Our line is answered 24 hours a day at (561) 816-5331, and because the shop is in Delray Beach, a call in Boynton Beach or Boca Raton is a short run rather than a cross-county drive.

If it is safe to reach the panel, switch off the affected circuit and leave it off. If there is smoke, call the fire department first. Then call us and describe what you saw — we will tell you whether it can wait until morning instead of guessing for you. Not an emergency? Book an electrician visit online or ask a general question in the electrical help center.
