If you want to find out what year your Ft Myers home was built, do the following:
A power outage in your home can be caused by a variety of factors. The most common issue is an interruption to the flow of electricity to one of the receptacles in the house. This can happen for a number of reasons, but there are a few things you can do before you call an electrician:
The beaches and islands of Fort Myers are on a low-lying shell plateau that flows to the shore. Itโs their location along the Gulf of Mexico that lets Fort Myers be a epicenter for shelling, with more than 200 shell varieties all along their sandy shores.
Fort Myers offers beautiful scenery, exciting activities, and a world-class food scene. But thereโs more to this city than meets the eye. Fort Myers also offers plenty of employment opportunities.
Generally speaking, there are many excellent electricians here, and some that are not so good, so youโll have to do your due diligence. Google is a good place to start. Look at their website, reviews, and pictures of projects that they have previously done. Also, many contractors are located on Metro Parkway in Fort Myers, as there is ample commercial space there.
Is the contractor responsive when you call? This is a good sign. At Coharbor Electric we always try to answer our phone, call customers back, and do everything we can to ensure they have a high-quality 5-star experience.ย
The Building, Permitting and Inspections (BPI) office is responsible for plan review, permitting, inspections, contractor registration, and the Building and Zoning Oversight Committee (BZOC). You can find out more information at the link here.
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.
Usually, yeah. Panel upgrades, service changes, new circuits โ the city likes to have eyes on that kind of work through its Building, Permitting and Inspections office. Donโt worry, youโre not the one who has to sort that out. We handle the permits and get the inspections scheduled as part of the job, so itโs just one less thing you have to think about. If youโre curious what the city actually says, hereโs the BPI office page.
If youโve lived through a storm season down here, you already know โ surges, flooding, outages, systems that just take a beating. Older wiring and panels usually feel it first. Getting things checked before the season starts, and again after a rough storm, can save you from a small problem turning into a big one. We also do surge protection installs if you want some extra peace of mind.
Same stuff youโd check for any contractor, really โ read the reviews, make sure theyโre actually licensed, ask to see photos of past work. But hereโs a simple one people miss: do they answer the phone? Do they call you back when they say they will? That tells you almost everything. Weโre licensed here in Fort Myers (#EC13012422), and picking up the phone and following through isnโt a slogan for us โ itโs just how weโd want to be treated if it were our house.
Honestly, it depends โ a quick repair and a full panel upgrade are two totally different jobs, and things like your homeโs age and permit requirements play into it too. What we can promise is youโll get a clear quote before we touch anything, so thereโs no surprise line item later. Easiest way to get a real number is just to call us and tell us whatโs going on.
ย
For most jobs, yeah โ weโll need someone there to let us in and talk through anything we run into. Some outdoor stuff, like dock or generator work, has a bit more wiggle room, but weโll tell you exactly what to expect when we set up the appointment.
ย
Fort Myers is our home base, but weโre out in Cape Coral, Sanibel Island, Lehigh Acres, Fort Myers Beach, Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, Bonita Springs, and Estero pretty regularly too. Not sure if youโre in range? Just call โ itโs a thirty-second answer.
ย
Usually about a day. Could run a little longer depending on your homeโs setup or if we find something unexpected once weโre in there. Either way, weโll give you a realistic timeframe up front โ not just a โshould be quickโ and hope for the best.
ย
Thatโs handled by the cityโs Building, Permitting and Inspections (BPI) office โ plan review, permitting, inspections, contractor registration, the whole Building and Zoning Oversight Committee thing. Itโs all on their page here.
ย
First thing to check: is it just your place, or does the whole street look dark too? If it seems like a wider outage, FPLโs outage map will usually confirm it fast. But if the map says everythingโs fine and your lights are still out, thatโs usually your homeโs own system acting up โ and thatโs when itโs worth giving us a call.
We offer flat rate pricing for service calls, so you always know the price up front. Simple to understand. Flat-rate fixed price so you can be confident youโll get what paid for.
