Home Wiring in Bayonet Point, FL
Wiring for Additions, Florida Rooms, and the Rooms You Have|Licensed & Insured, EC13011268
Where a new room can go on a Bayonet Point lot shapes its wiring before the first wire is pulled. Kennedy Electric wires the room that results, whether it's an addition built out toward the lot lines or a porch closed in as living space, and adds outlets and circuits to the rooms the house already has.
Mention whether the new space is inside the house or added on.

Setback Lines and Pasco's Additions Package
In Beacon Woods, a structural addition must remain within lines drawn 18 feet from the rear of the lot, 8 feet from each side, and 18 feet from the front, and be built of the same type as the original house, under the community's deed restrictions. The association's written authorization must be obtained before any addition goes up. Those lines limit how big a new room can be, and the room's size determines how many circuits, outlets, and lights it needs.
Pasco County handles adding living space, or turning space that isn't lived in into space that is, as additions work with a permit package of their own. On the site plan that goes with it, the county wants the existing and proposed structures and how far each sits from every property line. A screened porch closed in for living falls under that rule as surely as a new wing does, even with its roof already in place.
How it runs
Timed to the Build
-
1
A plan or a sketch to start
Send the plan for the new space, or a sketch with its dimensions if the plan isn't drawn yet, and say what will run in it. For work inside the existing walls, a list of the rooms and a few photos will do for a start.
-
2
Where the new space draws its power
The estimator visits, looks at the panel, works out the load figures, and follows the route the cable would take to the new space, through the attic or along an outside wall.
-
3
Set by the builder's calendar
For an addition or an enclosed porch, the builder's calendar sets the electrical visits, with the county's inspections in between, so share the general contractor's schedule with us. Inside the existing house, work proceeds according to our schedule once the estimate is approved.

Whose name the permit is in
When a general contractor is building the addition, the electrical permit is sometimes already theirs; otherwise we pull our own and book its inspections.
What we cover
Wiring by Where the New Space Sits
Inside the walls you already have: New outlets on a bare wall, a dedicated circuit for an appliance, or a room rearranged, with surface conduit where the wall is block.
A porch becoming a room: When a screened or open porch is enclosed to become part of the living space, it's wired to the standard of a room you live in: receptacles spaced along its walls, lighting on a switch, and a circuit for a window unit or a mini-split if one goes in.
A room added toward the lot lines: How far the lines let it reach sets its size, and what it's built to be sets its circuits: a bedroom, an office, or a bath with protected circuits of its own.
A sunroom built onto the back: Pasco lists sunrooms among its additions, so one built new is drawn and wired as living space, with outlets and lights placed around where the glass will go, since a wall of windows leaves fewer places for a box.
The panel behind all of it: Every footprint above ends at the same panel, so the new loads are added to the existing ones on paper first. A panel with room takes the new breakers; one without it means a subpanel or a panel upgrade ahead of the room.
Pricing
A Price for a Room That Isn't Built Yet
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 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.
Our warranty
02If 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.
