Fort Myers Beach is widely considered to be one of the most scenic coasts in the country. It offers a seven-mile, sugar-white sand beach and gradually sloping waterfront terrain that’s perfect for fishing, swimming and simply lazing around.
Fort Myers Beach is popular for its sunset, white sands, great outdoor restaurants and a small town old Florida feel. It’s a great place to live if you want to spend as much time in the sand and surf as possible.

If you’re experiencing a power outage, it could be because your service system is faulty or there’s been an outage with your electric company. FPL has helpful outage map and how to report the outage if you need help.
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:
