Electrical safety starts with doing things the right way. At Southern Power Electric, we help homeowners in Cape Coral, Fort Myers and the surrounding areas bring their electrical systems up to current code, improve safety throughout the house, and reduce risk before it becomes a problem. Whether you’re remodeling, selling, or just making sure your home is protected, our team is ready to inspect, upgrade, and install everything you need to stay safe and secure.
Electrical Code Corrections
Outdated wiring, improper installations, and DIY fixes can all cause your home to fall out of compliance with today’s electrical code. If you’ve received a code violation notice or are planning a renovation, we’ll review your system and correct any issues we find. From overloaded panels to missing GFCIs, we handle it all with precision and professionalism.
Home Safety Inspections
Our comprehensive electrical safety inspections are designed to identify risks before they lead to serious problems. We check outlets, wiring, panels, breakers, grounding, and more to ensure everything is in safe working order. Whether you’re buying a new home or simply want peace of mind, this inspection provides a clear picture of your home’s electrical health.
Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Detector Installation
Functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors save lives. We install detectors in the right places and ensure they’re interconnected and properly powered. If your home still relies on old battery-operated alarms, we can hardwire new units with battery backup so you never have to worry about missing a beep.
Grounding System Upgrades
A proper grounding system protects your home from electrical surges, lightning strikes, and fire hazards. Many older homes in Lee County, Collier County and Charlotte County still lack adequate grounding, which can cause performance issues or unsafe conditions. We inspect your system and install modern grounding rods and bonding connections to keep your power safe and stable.
Childproof Outlet Covers
If you’ve got little ones at home, it’s important to take simple steps to keep them safe. We install tamper-resistant receptacles that prevent small fingers from making dangerous contact with live outlets. They look and work just like standard outlets but include built-in safety features for total peace of mind.
What’s included in your code compliance and safety upgrades?
We correct NEC and local-code violations, add/upgrade GFCI and AFCI protection, install/replace smoke and carbon-monoxide alarms, improve grounding and bonding, add whole-home surge protection, tidy panels with accurate circuit labeling, and address outdoor/wet-location requirements.
How do you determine what my home needs to be “to code”?
We start with a safety/violation assessment, create a prioritized fix list, and when needed pull permits and coordinate with your local AHJ (authority having jurisdiction). After work is complete, we assist with inspections and provide documentation for close-out.
Do I really need GFCI/AFCI and where are they required?
Most homes need GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas, garages, exterior/outdoor spaces, and near any water source. AFCI protection is typically required on many living-area circuits. Specifics depend on your locality’s adopted code cycle—our team installs what’s required for your address.
Can you handle aluminum wiring, grounding/bonding fixes, and surge protection?
Yes. We remediate aluminum wiring using listed methods/devices, upgrade grounding and bonding for faster fault clearing and safety, and install panel-mounted surge protection to help protect appliances and sensitive electronics.
I have an inspection/insurance report with violations—can you help me pass quickly?
Absolutely. Share the report and we’ll map each finding to a corrective action, handle permits as needed, make repairs, and prepare you for re-inspection. We’ll also provide any post-work documentation your inspector or insurer requests.
