If Something Feels Off with Your Power, It Probably Is

That light that flickers when the fridge kicks on. That outlet that feels just a little too warm. That faint burning smell you keep telling yourself is nothing. These are not quirks. They are warning signs.

At Tropical Electric and Lighting, we specialize in thorough electrical inspections and precise troubleshooting. Whether you are buying a home, selling one, or just tired of living with sketchy switches and unpredictable breakers, we are the pros who find and fix the problem before it becomes a hazard.

What We Do Best

Electrical Troubleshooting and Diagnostics
We get called for the stuff that other electricians missed or could not figure out. We track down:

Flickering or dimming lights

Warm or hot outlets and switches

Buzzing or humming breakers

Burning smells from panels or devices

Breakers that trip randomly or won’t reset

We use professional-grade testing tools and years of experience to find the root of the issue—not just slap a bandage on it.
Home Electrical Safety Inspections
Perfect for homes ten years or older, especially in Florida where heat, humidity, and storm surges take a toll on your wiring. Our inspection includes:

Panel evaluation and load balancing

Outlet and switch testing

GFCI and AFCI function testing

Grounding and bonding verification

Visible wiring condition checks

We provide a full report and explain everything in plain language so you know exactly what is safe, what is borderline, and what needs attention.

Real Estate Transaction Inspections
Whether you are buying or selling, surprises in the walls are not something you want showing up after closing. We help:

Home buyers ensure the electrical system is up to code and ready for move-in

Sellers avoid last-minute issues by handling problems before listing

Realtors move deals forward with fast, reliable inspections and documentation

We provide repair estimates, same-day reports when needed, and can often schedule within 48 hours.
