Panel upgrades, rewiring, lighting and repairs for Oakland Park homeowners, from an electrical contractor based in the city.
Your electrician is already in the neighborhood
Tole Electric works out of our office at 320 NE 44th Street in Oakland Park. Being close by makes it easier to schedule a site visit, return for an inspection or come back to finish trim-out work.
We provide residential electrical installations and repairs for Oakland Park homeowners, landlords and renovation contractors. Each job starts with a look at the existing system, the work you have in mind and anything that has changed in the house since it was last wired.
Updating the electrical system in an older home
A home that has been renovated in stages over several decades can have original wiring alongside newer circuits, a panel that is short on space, or fuses where breakers would normally be. These conditions often come to light when a homeowner adds an appliance, renovates a kitchen or orders an insurance inspection.
We handle electrical panel replacement, fuse-to-breaker conversions and rewiring for the affected areas or the whole house. If a 4-point inspection report lists electrical items, send it with your request so we can review each one and explain what needs to be corrected.
Lighting, fans and everyday upgrades
Not every project is a major one. We install light fixtures, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, dimmers and additional receptacles, and we add dedicated circuits for appliances, window or mini-split A/C units, and workshop equipment.
Outside, we can wire landscape lighting, security lighting and connections for pool or spa equipment. Let us know what you want to power or light, and we will include the circuits and controls in the estimate.
Repairs, EV chargers and backup power
A breaker that keeps tripping, receptacles that have lost power or lights that flicker can all call for electrical repair. Tell us when the problem started and whether anything was added or changed beforehand, so we can narrow down the cause.
For an EV charger, we review the charger specifications, the parking location and the available panel capacity. For hurricane season, we install transfer equipment and wiring for standby generators so selected circuits or the whole home can stay powered during an outage.
Rental properties and home sales
Landlords and property owners in Oakland Park often call us between tenants, when a unit is empty and the work will not disrupt anyone. That is a good time to replace worn receptacles and switches, correct a panel that is labeled incorrectly or add circuits a previous tenant kept overloading.
If you are buying or selling a home, the inspection report may list electrical items that need attention before closing. Send us the report and photos of the panel. We review the items, explain which corrections are needed and provide an estimate the parties can work from.
Surge protection and safety devices
Lightning and utility switching can send voltage spikes through a home’s wiring. A whole-house surge protective device installed at the panel helps protect appliances, A/C equipment and electronics, and it works alongside the plug-in strips you already use.
We also install GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry areas and outdoor locations, and AFCI protection where it is required or recommended. These devices are often part of a renovation or an inspection correction, and we can tell you which circuits in your home would benefit from them.
Talk to a local, licensed contractor
Founded in 1952, Tole Electric is a third-generation family business operating under Florida electrical contractor license EC 13002216. We offer free estimates for planned work and coordinate permits and inspections when the job requires them.
If the project is for a shop, warehouse or office instead of a home, see our Oakland Park commercial electrical services.
Questions about home electrical work in Oakland Park
Do I need a new panel to add circuits?
Not always. It depends on the space in your current panel, its condition and the load you are adding. We review the panel and your plans before recommending a panel replacement or a smaller change.
Can you fix the electrical items on my 4-point inspection?
Yes. Send us the inspection report. We review each electrical item listed, explain the corrections needed and provide an estimate for the work.
My home still has fuses. Should they be replaced?
Fuse panels can work, but they are often undersized for modern loads and some insurers flag them. We can assess the existing equipment and quote a conversion to a breaker panel.
Do you pull permits in Oakland Park?
We coordinate permits and inspections when the work requires them, so you do not have to manage that part of the project yourself.
Can you install whole-house surge protection?
Yes. We install surge protective devices at the main panel. We check the panel, grounding and available space first, then recommend a device suited to your system.
