Home Wiring in Land O' Lakes, FL
Circuits for Rooms, Additions, Outbuildings, and Lake Lots|Licensed & Insured, EC13011268
Adding power in Land O' Lakes can start with a question that isn't electrical: who else has a say? Some neighborhoods answer to an association, some answer only to the county, and a townhome or condo has documents of its own. That gets settled first; then the new circuits go where you need them.
Tell us where the new power should go, and whether you're in an association.
Call (352) 251-2795, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or send a request online. Calls after hours are returned the next business day.
At a glance
Who Approves Wiring Besides the County
In Lake Padgett Estates, the civic association holds that the neighborhood's original deed restrictions have expired and that residents follow Pasco County's ordinances. By the association's account, that leaves the county's permit rules as the ones a room addition or a new circuit there has to meet. A neighborhood with an architectural review committee operates differently: the committee reviews an addition's drawings before any wiring is roughed in.
Most homes here stand on their own: 11,585 of the census-designated place's 15,067, by Census Bureau estimates. About 2,800 share a wall or a building with a neighbor. In a shared building, some of the walls belong to the association. Out at the water, any electrical work on a dock or seawall takes a county permit.
How it runs
Getting a New Circuit to Inspection
-
1
Your address and who reviews changes
Tell us the neighborhood and whether an association reviews changes to the house, or the work reaches a dock. If one does, settle its review before the work is booked.
-
2
Inside, outside, or out to another building
The estimate names every place the new power goes: rooms inside the house, the yard and the dock, or a building at the back of the lot. Each of those can bring its own county paperwork, and the estimate says which applies.
-
3
Old wiring met along the way
Opening walls in an older house can turn up wiring someone added years ago. You hear what we found, and anything that needs correcting is quoted before the work starts.
-
4
Inspected and closed
When the Pasco permit is ours, we file it, put the inspection on the calendar, and leave the new circuits open for the inspector before the walls are closed.
What we cover
New Circuits, Sorted by Who Signs Off
A circuit inside a house with no association: Outlets, a dedicated appliance circuit, or a room rearranged, under a Pasco permit.
An addition in a reviewed neighborhood: Every circuit the new room needs, wired to the plan the association approved, with the panel's spare capacity checked before the room's circuits are laid out.
A shed, workshop, or detached garage: A feed from the house to the outbuilding, a breaker or small panel there with its own grounding, and whatever the building will run. Its outlets go on GFCI protection, as a garage's do.
Power on a lake lot: Circuits out to the yard and the dock, GFCI-protected.
A unit that shares a wall: New outlets and circuits inside your own townhome or condo unit.
Pricing
What the Estimate Lists Apart
Inside the house, the price depends on how far each new circuit runs from the panel and how many walls and ceilings it has to cross; an addition is priced based on its drawings once they're settled. A run to a shed or a dock can add a trench, a breaker at the far end, and the exterior plans the county reviews, and each of those is part of what the estimate prices.
When something already in the walls fails
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 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
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.
