West Palm Beach homes

18 historic districts, and a lot of new construction.

West Palm Beach has 18 locally designated historic districts and 46 individually designated historic sites (City of West Palm Beach). Its overall median home was built in 1988 (U.S. Census Bureau, 2020–2024 American Community Survey), because so much of the city is newer.

So the same city has two very different jobs: keeping older homes safe on wiring that has been added to many times, and fitting new loads into newer ones.

  • Historic districts such as Old Northwood, Flamingo Park, El Cid, Grandview Heights and Vedado-Hillcrest: upgrades that respect the house, and old circuits traced before anything new is added.
  • Mid-century and later homes across the rest of the city: panel and service upgrades, surge protection, generator connections.
  • Downtown condos and businesses: unit panels, lighting, commercial build-outs and after-hours repairs.

Hurricane season

West Palm Beach is outside the Florida Building Code's High Velocity Hurricane Zone, which covers only Miami-Dade and Broward, but the June 1 to November 30 season (NOAA) still brings surges and outages. Surge protection at the panel and safe generator connections are the electrical side of storm prep. 24/7 emergency line.

FPL service

West Palm Beach is served by FPL. Anything on the utility's side of the meter is theirs; the meter can, panel and everything after it is ours.

FAQ

West Palm Beach electrician questions.

If yours isn't here, call and ask.

Yes, in neighborhoods such as Old Northwood, Flamingo Park, El Cid and Grandview Heights. Older homes there have often had wiring added over the decades; we trace the existing circuits before we add or upgrade anything.

The city's Development Services Building Division issues them through the Civic Access online portal. As the licensed contractor, we file the permit and meet the inspector, so you don't need to sign as an owner-builder at City Hall.

No. That zone covers only Miami-Dade and Broward. West Palm Beach still gets the full hurricane season, so whole-home surge protection and a safe generator connection are worth having in place before June 1.

Yes: offices, retail, restaurants and condo buildings, including lighting, build-outs, fire alarm work and after-hours repairs. Call 786-981-5166, 24 hours a day.
