Local Response Across the Florida Keys
Crews Who Already Know the Islands
Local electricians who know the islands respond faster because we already know the building stock, the access routes, and the storm patterns.
Storm and Hurricane Triage
Our team works out of a Key West office with crews staged from Stock Island to Key Largo. We've handled storm and hurricane recovery on the islands for 15+ years, from wet panels after tropical systems to full electricity restoration on multi-family complexes. Our experience with Keys electrical systems means we bring the right equipment and replacement parts on the first truck.
Island-Wide Dispatch, Real Coverage
Dispatch covers the Lower Keys, Middle Keys, and Upper Keys, with a second crew base in Naples for Southwest Florida overflow. Island logistics matter on emergency calls: bridge closures, narrow access, and salt-exposed gear all shape how fast a crew lands and what they bring.
Problems We Solve
When to Call Right Away
If half your house is dark and the meter still has electricity, the problem is on your side of the panel. That's an electrician call.
Storm or Flood Power Loss
Tropical systems push water and surge into older Keys panels and breakers.
- Wet or flooded main panel
- Half-house power loss after storm
- Tripped main breaker won't reset
Hurricane-Season Wet Panel Damage
Saltwater intrusion corrodes bus bars and breakers fast after a storm event. Upgrades to weather-sealed panels reduce future corrosion risk and protect your home's electrical system.
- Visible corrosion on panel
- Moisture inside meter base
- Generator transfer switch faulted
Burning Smell or Sparking Outlets
A burning smell from a wall or outlet means heat damage is already happening. Smoke or scorch marks signal an immediate electrical issue.
- Burning plastic odor near outlets
- Scorch marks on receptacle face
- Crackling or popping at switches
Repeated Breaker Trips After Storms
Surge events leave hidden damage that shows up as breakers tripping again and again.
- Same breaker trips on reset
- Lights flicker on one circuit
- Buzzing or hot breaker handle

Our Process
From the Call to the Safety Check
- 01
Call for Urgent Dispatch
Call (305) 292-3369 or submit a request through our contact page. We confirm the address, the symptom, and whether power is fully off or partial before routing a crew.
- 02
Scope Review and Triage
A licensed electrician reviews the symptom over the phone: burning smell, wet panel, partial loss, or sparking. We tell you what to switch off and what to leave alone before the truck arrives.
- 03
On-Site Arrival in the Keys
Crews dispatch from the Key West office or the nearest active job site. Timing depends on bridge access, weather, and crew location. We provide a live ETA when the truck rolls.
- 04
Emergency Repairs
The electrician isolates the fault, makes safe, and restores power where it's safe to do so. Bigger fixes like panel swap, meter base, or service entrance get scoped on site with a written quote.
- 05
Completion and Safety Check
Before we leave, we test every restored circuit, verify grounding, and walk you through what was repaired. If a permit or follow-up inspection is needed, we schedule it on the spot.

Frequently Asked Questions
Emergency Electrical Questions
- What counts as an electrical emergency in the Florida Keys?
- Anything that risks fire, shock, or active property damage is an emergency, day or night. Call right away if you have any of the following: a burning plastic smell at an outlet, switch, or panel; water inside a panel, meter base, or junction box; partial power loss where some circuits work and others don't; the same breaker tripping every time you reset it; visible storm damage to the service entrance, mast, or weather head; or sparking, arcing, or scorch marks at any outlet. Storm-related faults spike during hurricane season, and our team is dispatched 24/7 for these scenarios.
- Do you offer free estimates? Are your prices flat-rate?
- We provide written quotes after on-site scope review; emergency dispatch and diagnostic time are billed separately. We don't publish flat-rate menus because emergency electrical work depends on what the electrician finds: a tripped main is a different project than a corroded panel with water in the bus. After triage, we quote the repair scope in writing with line-item pricing before work proceeds. No bait pricing, no "starting at" numbers that change at the door.
- What if I'm just outside your listed coverage area?
- If you're in Monroe County or Southwest Florida from Marco Island to Fort Myers, call us; we likely cover you. Our published coverage runs Key West to Key Largo on the Keys side and Marco Island to Fort Myers on the mainland. If your address sits just outside that range, call (305) 292-3369 and we'll confirm whether a crew can reach you and what the response window looks like. For true emergencies outside our service map, we'll tell you straight rather than waste your time.
- Can I turn the breaker back on after water got into the panel?
- No — per Monroe County electrical hazard guidance, do not re-energize a wet panel until a licensed electrical contractor inspects it. Water in a panel, meter base, or service entrance can leave hidden damage to bus bars, breakers, and grounding even after the surface dries. Re-energizing can cause arcing, breaker failure, or a fire inside the panel. Leave the main off, keep the area clear, and call our electricians. Wiring inside walls can also hold moisture after flooding, and our team checks for hidden damage during every emergency call.
- What payment options do you accept?
- Call our office at (305) 292-3369 for accepted payment types and billing terms. For residential service calls, payment is typically collected on completion. For larger commercial scope, we set billing terms during the bid phase. You can also email check@checkelectricllc.com and our team will confirm what works for your situation.
- What warranty applies to parts and equipment?
- Parts and equipment carry their own manufacturer warranties, which we register and document on completion. Generac generators carry the standard Generac factory warranty, and we handle that service ourselves since we're an authorized dealer. Emergency repairs are performed by state-certified electricians under License # EC13004515, and any permitted work is inspected by the AHJ before it closes.
- What happens if I'm not satisfied with the repair?
- Call (305) 292-3369 and ask for the project lead; we'll re-service or escalate to ownership. We're one of the larger electrical contractors in the Florida Keys, and our reputation in a small market lives on repeat work. If something isn't right, the first step is a callback with the same crew. If that doesn't resolve it, the project gets escalated to a Vice President or President-level review.
- How do I get started?
- Call (305) 292-3369 for emergencies or submit a service request through our contact page for non-urgent scope. For emergency calls, phone is fastest; you'll reach a dispatcher who routes the call to an on-call electrician. For planned work like panel upgrades, generator installation, or remodel scope, the contact form or check@checkelectricllc.com gets you on the schedule. Standard office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM. Emergency dispatch runs 24/7.
