FAQs

  • Do I need a licensed electrician in Florida?

    Yes. Electrical work in Florida should be performed by a licensed and insured electrician. This ensures the work meets Florida building codes and safety standards and helps protect your property. Hiring a licensed local electrician also ensures the work will pass inspections and reduces risks like fire hazards or electrical failure.

  • Why do my breakers keep tripping or lights flicker?

    This is one of the most frequent service calls. Common causes include:  


    -Overloaded circuits (too many devices on one circuit) 

    -Faulty wiring or loose connections 

    -Ground faults or short circuits  


    Breakers are designed to trip as a safety measure to prevent overheating and fire risks. If it happens repeatedly, it's a sign your system needs inspection or possibly an upgrade.  For a residential electrician you can count on, contact Goodwin Electric, Inc today.

  • When should I upgrade my electrical panel?

    You may need a panel upgrade if:  


    -Your home is older or still uses a fuse box 

    -Breakers trip frequently, or power demands have increased 

    -You're adding high-demand equipment (AC units, EV chargers, etc.)  


    Panel upgrades are very common in Florida due to increased energy use and aging homes, and they often require permits and inspections handled by a licensed electrician. Goodwin Electric, Inc specializes in panel upgrades and other electrical repairs. Contact us today.
