Handyman in Palm Beach County · Electrical Repairs
Dead outlets, flickering lights, wobbling fans, breakers that keep tripping, and salt-worn outdoor circuits. We diagnose the real cause, quote before we start, and tell you plainly when a licensed electrician should take it further.
Handyman electrical repair where it belongs, and a referral to a licensed electrical contractor where the code says it belongs there instead.
Dispatch confirms a realistic arrival window based on technician routing in your part of the county — not a vague all-day promise.
Humidity, salt air, and storm season wreck exterior devices and panels. We work with that reality every week.
What we repair
Dead, loose, or scorched receptacles replaced with new tamper-resistant devices, plus GFCI and AFCI protection where the kitchen, bath, garage, and exterior need it.
Flickering fixtures, failed recessed cans, and dated kitchen lighting repaired or swapped for efficient LED, with dimming that actually behaves.
Wobbling, humming, or dead fans repaired, rebalanced, or replaced on properly rated boxes — including high ceilings and screened patios.
Nuisance tripping, warm breakers, corroded bus bars, and unlabeled panels investigated, documented, and corrected — with licensed escalation when a service change is the honest answer.
Weatherproof covers, exterior fixtures, landscape lighting, and patio circuits repaired for salt air, summer storms, and daily South Florida humidity.
One circuit or the whole house: we trace the fault, show you what we found, and quote the repair before any work starts.

How it works
Open the Assistant or call 561-506-2278. Describe the symptom — dead outlet, flickering lights, tripping breaker — and the city you're in.
Our reception and dispatch team checks technician routing for your part of Palm Beach County and confirms a realistic arrival window, not a vague all-day promise.
The technician tests the circuit, shows you the finding, and gives you a price for the repair before touching anything else.
We complete the approved repair, retest under load, clean the work area, and walk you through what changed and what to watch.
Questions
Most requests are scheduled for the same week, and urgent items like a dead circuit or a burning smell are triaged first. Start a request in the Assistant or call 561-506-2278 and our dispatcher confirms the earliest realistic window for your city.
We quote the diagnostic visit up front before we dispatch, and we quote the repair before we perform it. You approve the price first — there are no surprise add-ons discovered after the work is done.
Repairs, replacements, and troubleshooting within the scope of handyman electrical service are handled by our technicians. Service upgrades, meter and utility-side work, and permitted rewires are referred to a licensed electrical contractor rather than improvised.
A breaker that trips repeatedly is reporting a real condition: an overloaded circuit, a failing device, a damaged conductor, or a breaker at the end of its life. We measure the load and isolate the fault instead of simply resetting it.
Yes. Coastal humidity and salt air are hard on exterior devices, so outdoor outlets, weatherproof covers, patio fans, and landscape lighting are a regular part of our Palm Beach County work.
