Electrical Inspections and Code Violation Repairs in Fort Lauderdale, FL

An inspection report, an insurance requirement or a violation notice can leave you with a list of electrical items and a deadline. Tole Electric evaluates electrical systems for homeowners, buyers, sellers, landlords and businesses in Fort Lauderdale and Broward County, then makes the corrections needed to bring the work up to code.

We are a licensed electrical contractor, not a city or county building inspector. Official inspections are performed by the local building department. Our role is to review the system and the report you received, explain each item, complete the corrective work and coordinate permits and the follow-up inspection when the work requires them.

Many Florida insurance companies ask for a 4-point inspection on older homes, and the electrical section often flags fuse panels, certain older panel brands, double-tapped breakers, missing panel covers, exposed wiring or outdated wiring types. An insurer may require those items to be corrected before it will write or renew a policy.

Send us the inspection report. We review each electrical item, explain the corrections, provide an estimate and complete the work. When a panel replacement or breaker replacement is part of the fix, we handle that as well. Whether the insurer accepts the corrected home is the insurer’s decision, so we make sure the work matches what the report asked for.

A code enforcement notice or a failed inspection usually lists specific electrical problems. Common items include unpermitted work, missing GFCI protection, improper wiring methods, open junction boxes, damaged equipment and panels that are overloaded or improperly labeled.

We review the notice or inspection comments, inspect the affected work and give you a scope and estimate for the corrections. Where a permit is required, we coordinate it and the re-inspection so the item can be closed out. If the corrections reveal larger problems, such as wiring that needs replacement, we explain the options before going further. Our electrical rewiring page covers that work in more detail.

A home inspection report often includes electrical notes that buyers and sellers need to resolve before closing. We review those notes, separate safety items from general recommendations and provide an estimate both parties can work from.

Before a renovation, an evaluation helps you plan. It shows whether the existing panel and wiring can support new circuits, appliances or an addition, so there are fewer surprises once the walls are open.

Commercial owners and property managers call us when a tenant improvement fails inspection, when an insurer or landlord requests corrections, or when a building has older electrical work that needs to be reviewed before a new tenant moves in. We correct the items found and coordinate with the property manager and general contractor as needed.
