Does panel work usually need a permit?

Many panel replacements, service upgrades, and meter/main changes require permits and inspection. Simon Electric can explain the likely process for your specific job.

When does FPL or the power company get involved?

FPL or the power company may need to be involved for service disconnects, reconnects, meter equipment, or utility-side issues. Simon Electric can help determine what belongs to the electrician and what belongs to the utility.

What panel symptoms should not wait?

Burning smells, heat, buzzing, sparking, repeated breaker trips, partial power loss, water intrusion, damaged meter equipment, or breakers that will not reset should be checked by a licensed electrician.

What makes Simon Electric different on panel calls?

Simon Electric has real panel and breaker videos, license EC13008646, BBB A+ trust, two-time BBB ethics recognition, and local Palm Beach County troubleshooting experience.

Why is my outlet dead if the breaker is on?

The outlet may be protected by a GFI, disconnected upstream, damaged, or missing a neutral or hot conductor even though the breaker appears on.

Can a loose outlet connection cause power loss?

Yes. Loose or burned connections can stop power and create heat. The circuit should be inspected and repaired properly.
