Electrical Services for Apartments and Property Managers in Spring Hill, FL
Rental Wiring by How Many Units Share It|Licensed & Insured, EC13011268
In a Spring Hill rental, the number of units under one roof tells our electrician early where the meters are, whose panel is whose, and how far a problem can reach. Owners and managers who call us can lead with that number.
Tell us the building size and the unit numbers involved.

How Spring Hill's Rentals Break Down by Building
In at least one Spring Hill neighborhood, the streets next to the commercial area are primarily rental duplex apartments, in the words of the county's revitalization plan for that area. On streets like those, the duplexes along a block can share a similar age and layout.
By census estimates, three in five rented homes in Spring Hill are detached houses. Buildings of two to nine units hold about 1,700 more, and buildings of 50 or more units hold about 700. Whoever owns or manages rentals here, the rented house and the small building are the everyday case, and the large building is the exception.
Building size also changes what the state expects of a landlord. Past the house and the duplex, unless otherwise agreed in writing, Florida's landlord-tenant law has the landlord make reasonable provisions for the clean and safe condition of common areas. So in a building of three or more units, when the lights in a shared laundry room go dark, the owner or manager is often the one who books the repair.
How it runs
Running a Visit Across Several Spring Hill Units
-
1
The unit list and the tenant's notice
When a request covers more than one unit, list the unit numbers and what each tenant reported. On site, a check at the meters outside can show which units share a problem before any unit door is opened. Before a repair inside an occupied unit, that same state law has the owner give the tenant reasonable notice: at least 24 hours before the entry, with entry between 7:30 a.m. and 8 p.m., unless an exception applies, such as the tenant's consent or an emergency. Once the visit time is set, the owner or manager can give that notice, and our weekday hours fall inside that window.

The unit that's down comes first
Put a unit without power ahead of a stair light that's out or a loose cover plate. The electrician handles the repairs that fit the visit and writes up anything larger as an estimate for the owner.

Permitted rental work and its inspections
On a rental job that needs a Hernando County permit, the application, any meter or service step with the power company, and the booking of each inspection the permit calls for all run through our office.
What we cover
Apartment and Rental Wiring at Four Building Sizes
As a building adds units, the electrical system adds layers: more meters, more panels, and more wiring that belongs to no single tenant.
The rented single-family house
One meter, one main panel, and one tenant, so a fault at this size stays inside one household. What changes is the paperwork: the tenant reports the problem, and the lease often settles who pays for the fix.
Duplexes with two meters on one wall
A duplex often has two meters side by side on one outside wall, each feeding the panel inside its own half. A fault inside one panel usually stays with that side. Trouble in the meter enclosure or the wiring the two sides share, on the other hand, can reach both tenants at once, even when only one of them called.
Small apartment buildings of three to nine units
At this size the meters usually sit together in one enclosure, and the building often has a separate house meter of its own for the outside lights, the stair or walkway lights, and a shared laundry.
Apartment buildings of 50 units or more
A building this size carries its meters in one or more banks. In a complex of several buildings, each one can have its own bank, and site wiring runs between them: pole lights over the parking areas, power to an office or a pool equipment pad, and lighting along the walks. Work there can be planned building by building so the other buildings stay on.
Pricing
Pricing Work at a Rental or Apartment Building
The number of units involved and whether the work sits inside a unit or on the shared meters and house circuits both bear on the price.
Custom homes and large or multi-phase projects are estimated as soon as we can, or on the timeline your project sets.
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.
We don't do upfront pricing. No job has a standard price with us: each one is tailored to the property and the work you've asked for, and priced once we've seen it.
We offer free estimates on installs, 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.
Our warranty
05If 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.
