Electrical Services FAQs
Is Babe's Plumbing licensed to do electrical work in Florida?
Yes. Our Electrical Division is led by Bill Simko, a Florida State Licensed Electrician (License #EC13009796). All electrical work is performed by licensed professionals and meets Florida building code requirements.
Do I need a permit for electrical work?
Most electrical work in Florida — including panel upgrades, new circuits, generator installs, and rewiring — requires a permit. Our team handles the permit process for you and coordinates inspections to make sure everything is done by the book.
How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be upgraded?
Signs include frequently tripping breakers, a panel older than 25–30 years, flickering lights, or insufficient amperage for modern appliances (especially if you're adding an EV charger or generator). We offer free estimates and can assess your panel during a service call.
Can Babe's coordinate electrical and plumbing work on the same project?
Absolutely — and that's one of our biggest advantages. As a multi-trade contractor, we can schedule and coordinate electrical, plumbing, fire sprinkler, and fire alarm work under one roof. This saves time, reduces scheduling conflicts, and ensures all systems are installed compatibly.
What generator size do I need for my home?
Generator sizing depends on your home's square footage, the critical circuits you want to power (HVAC, refrigerator, lights, etc.), and whether you want partial or whole-home coverage. We'll perform a load analysis and recommend the right size for your needs and budget.
