Who you're hiring

The People Behind
the Phone and the Van

Lisa Burinskas manages the office, and Becky Saylor handles dispatch and marketing. When you want a quote, Roger Daugherty is the estimator who walks the job with you and writes the estimate. Kevin Moon is our master electrician.

Kennedy Electric started with three electricians. Today, 10 work vans go out on service calls across four counties. What we look for in an electrician is someone who cares about the quality of their work, has a strong work ethic, and remains loyal to the company.

If you already know what you want, good. We enjoy working with customers who have done their research. If you don't, that is what the visit is for.

We live here too, on the same water and the same roads. Off the clock, you will find us fishing, out on a boat, or at the same local restaurants you go to. The About page tells you more about who we are and why we have stayed local.

How it works

What Happens When You Call Kennedy Electric

Emailed on Sunday, fixed on Tuesday

“I left an email on Sunday outlining my issue. I received a call back Monday morning from a kind office staff that scheduled me for Tuesday. My electrian, Randy, already aware of what he was coming for, had everything he needed to fix the issue in less than an hour. He was so kind, informative and efficient. I highly recommend Kennedy electric and will continue using them for future needs.”

Dee Lutsky, Google review
01

Tell us what's going on

Say what isn't working, where you are, and how long it has been going on. Our office staff asks a few questions before booking the visit. If it is easier, send the request online with a photo of the panel, the outlet, or whatever is worrying you.

02

Repairs get an electrician; installs and upgrades get an estimate

A repair is scheduled with an electrician. An install or upgrade starts with a visit from our estimator, who looks at what you want, confirms what the code and the power company require, and emails your estimate by the end of the next business day for most jobs.

03

We look before we fix

When we arrive, we introduce ourselves, go over why you called, and evaluate the job. Then we walk you through what we found and how we would fix it. With your go-ahead, we do the work, or we write up an estimate for a bigger job.

04

We handle the permit and the inspection

When a job needs a permit, we pull it, work with the power company, and schedule the inspection.

05

You pay for what was used

The invoice covers the time on site and the materials used on your job. If something we installed fails because of our workmanship within 30 days, call the office, and we come back without charging the hourly labor.

What we don't do

  • We don't install standby generators or the automatic transfer switches that go with them, and we don't maintain generators of any kind. We connect your portable generator with an inlet, interlock, or manual transfer switch.
  • We don't install solar or do appliance repair.
  • Smart thermostats and attic or whole-house fans go to an HVAC contractor.
  • Home theater and whole-house audio go to an audio-video specialist, and we're glad to point you to one.
  • We don't install or monitor alarm or security systems. For cameras and doorbells, we run the power and the cabling, and we don't set up apps.
  • On commercial jobs, we don't do fire alarm systems, access control, commercial or fleet EV charging, or heavy industrial work.
  • We install only materials listed by UL or ETL, and that includes fixtures you supply.

Why us

Why Customers Come Back to Kennedy Electric

01

No upfront pricing

Some electrical companies work from a standard price list: one figure for a panel replacement, quoted before anyone has been to the house. We don't do upfront pricing. Every job is tailored to your home and what you've asked for, so we look first and price second. We explain what we found before the work starts.

Found the issue right away

“Very professional found the issue right away Kennedy Electric you can always count on them and they do an excellent job”

waynette delgado, Google review

02

The same electrician when we can

We prefer to send the same electrician back to your home unless that electrician isn't available when you need us or the job requires a different skill.

03

Most of our work is for customers we've worked for before

Repeat customers make up 80% of our business. That only holds if the last job was done right. We care about those relationships, and we intend to keep them.

04

One company for the whole list

Our electricians are skilled across many kinds of residential and commercial work, so the pool equipment, the dock light, and the panel don't each need a different company.

05

We don't knock on doors

You won't find a Kennedy Electric salesperson on your doorstep. Door-to-door sales isn't our style.

06

Licensed, insured, and certified statewide

Kennedy Electric holds Florida Certified Electrical Contractor license EC13011268 and carries insurance for the work we do. Florida issues two kinds of electrical contractor licenses: a registered license covers only the local area where it was issued, while a certified license is good anywhere in the state. A certified contractor holds a certificate of competency issued by the state itself.

Professional and organized

“Professional and organized business. Easy to work with.”

Dale Lemons, Google review

07

Bring your own fixtures if you like

Found the fan, light, or smart switch you want? We're glad to install it. It needs to be listed by UL or ETL, and since you bought it, you deal directly with the manufacturer for the warranty.

Before you hire any electrician

Four Things to Check When You Hire an Electrician

These four questions apply to any electrician you call, including us.

01

Is the contractor licensed for electrical work?

In Florida, electrical contracting requires a license, and you can look up any contractor's license number on the Department of Business and Professional Regulation's website before you let someone into your panel.

02

How was the price reached?

A firm price for a repair nobody has diagnosed is a guess. A price set that way can include problems your house doesn't have. Ask how the number was reached and what happens if the job turns out to be something else.

03

Is this really a do-it-yourself job?

A breaker swap or a new circuit looks simple in a video. Mistakes inside a panel don't always show right away; they show up later as heat, tripping, or damage. Work done by the owner also falls outside our warranty.

04

Is the lowest bid the whole job?

Before you pick the lowest number, read what it includes: the permit, inspection, materials, and warranty. Ask who does the work and who you call if something goes wrong a month later. Then check the company's reviews and the total.

Pricing & warranty

How We Bill, Estimate, and Stand Behind Our Work

Repair and troubleshooting visits

01

Repair and troubleshooting visits are billed by the hour from arrival: $100 residential, $150 commercial, one-hour minimum, then half-hour increments, plus materials. No trip charge and no service fee. No hidden fees: the 3.5% surcharge on card and ACH payments is listed in our terms.

Estimates

02

We offer free estimates on installations, upgrades, and replacements in our service area. Estimates aren't free when the job needs troubleshooting or testing to price, falls after hours or outside our service area, needs several meetings to gather information, or is new construction or a custom remodel with multi-party walk-throughs. For most jobs, estimates arrive by email by the end of the next business day, and quotes are good for 30 days.

Custom homes and large or multi-phase projects are estimated as soon as we can, or on the timeline your project sets.

Why there's no standard price

03

Each project is tailored to what you've asked for and to what the building department requires. Two jobs with the same specifications don't always cost the same: community requirements differ, material prices move quickly, and the house itself changes the work, with no attic to run wire through, no access under the home, or a trench that has to go through tree roots or limestone.

Our warranty

04

If something we installed fails because of our workmanship within 30 days of completion, we waive the hourly labor to put it right. Materials Kennedy Electric purchases for your job carry the manufacturer's one-year warranty. To replace defective materials we supplied, or materials damaged by storm, flood, fire, or other acts of God, we charge a reduced warranty labor rate of $50 an hour residential and $75 an hour commercial. The warranty does not cover materials not purchased by Kennedy Electric, work performed by the customer, or materials the customer purchased or damaged. Our warranty terms are printed on the estimate, the invoice, and the receipt, and the product boxes stay with you so you can register each product with its manufacturer.

Local conditions

Electrical Work Around Brooksville and the Nature Coast

Insurers and older homes

01

Many Florida insurers won't write or renew a policy on a home with a Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or Bryant panel. Insurers can also require aluminum wiring to be corrected. Either one surfaces in a 4-point inspection or a renewal letter. Correcting 4-point inspection items is part of our weekly work. When the wiring needs more than a repair, rewiring can go room by room, or alongside a remodel you are already planning.

Storm season

02

Storms bring calls that start with water or a falling limb. If a storm has damaged something electrical, turn the power off at the main breaker only if the panel is dry and you aren't standing in water, and never touch a wet or sparking panel. Stay away from anything else that is wet. Call 911 if there is smoke, sparks, or fire. After Hurricane Helene put a tree on one customer's roof and took the riser with it, we replaced the riser and had the power back on.

The better time to call is before the season starts. Whole-house surge protection at the panel, an inlet or interlock for your portable generator, and a look at an aging panel are jobs worth getting done first. If you have sat through a power outage of three days or more, you already know why. Surge protection earns its place in Florida year-round, so there is no reason to wait until June.

Acreage, wells, and the water

03

Our service area runs from waterfront homes on the Gulf side to acreage inland, and the electrical work follows the property: a well pump and a septic system, a pole barn or metal building, a workshop, an RV pad, a pond pump, or a boat lift and shore power at the dock.

Selling a home

04

Sellers, and agents working for buyers, book our electrical evaluation of the devices and the panel. The findings we see most are a missing service disconnect, missing smoke detectors, and outlets without GFCI protection.

Questions We Get Asked

Can you come out at night or on a weekend?

Our office is closed nights and weekends. Calls after hours are returned the next business day. No power or no water because the well pump lost power counts as an emergency, and emergency estimates are done the same business day. An appliance outlet, pool equipment, or an air conditioner that lost power feels urgent too, but it can wait for a regular visit. If you smell burning or see smoke, get everyone out and call 911.

Do you install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors?

Yes. A combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector makes sense when the home has any fuel-burning appliance or an attached garage. We install new smoke and CO detectors and replace old ones.

My home is older. What should I have checked?

If the house was built before the late 1970s, ask about aluminum branch wiring. If the panel is a Federal Pacific or Zinsco, or simply old, have it looked at. An electrical evaluation of the devices and the panel tells you where you stand.

How can I pay?

Check, cash, credit and debit cards, and ACH.
