Cape Coral is home to roughly 400 miles of canals. With so much water around, it is nicknamed the “Venice of America”.

The Permitting Services Division and Building Division are critical divisions of the Development Services Department at Cape Coral, Florida which provides all building permits for property development within the city. A properly obtained building permit grants legal permission to construct or alter a structure, install, or replace electrical, gas, mechanical, or plumbing systems according to Florida Building Codes and Standards currently in force.

If your power is out, it could be a problem with your electrical service system in your home, or it could be an outage from Florida Power and Light. FPL has a really good outage map that you can check here. If you are in Cape Coral, and your electricity provider is LCEC, you can find the LCEC outage map here.
Unlike other franchise electrician companies that pull you in with a $29 service call fee and then often end up surprising you with a huge bill before they leave, we do things differently.
1. Our electricians are not paid on a sales commission–meaning you will NOT be sold things you don’t need.
2. Unlike others that charge on a “per-item” basis (which drastically increases the price you pay), we simply charge for our time and materials, at a rate that we can pay our electricians a fair living wage. It’s simple, easy to understand, and there are no surprises for our customers.
3. For Residential Service Calls, our pricing is $175 for the first hour of work, and then $55 for every hour after that, plus the cost of materials.
4. You can use that time however you want, for us to fix or work on whatever you like.
As a Florida homeowner, you have an endless list of choices for electrical contractors to hire…some great, some good, some bad.
At Coharbor Electric, our benchmark is to be “great”. If you decide to hire us for your electrical service, here’s what you can expect from our electricians:
