On a well, running water depends on electricity. When the pump loses power, the house loses water, and we treat that as an emergency.
We wire the power for well pumps, septic systems, and lift stations: the circuit from your panel, the shut-off at the equipment, and the repair when that power stops.
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.
Where the Power goes
Power for Water In and Water Out
The well pump circuit
A well pump runs on its own circuit from your panel, typically at 240 volts. On its way to the pump, the power passes through a pressure switch, which starts the pump when the tank's pressure drops and stops it when the tank reaches its set pressure. Some systems also have a control box that starts the motor down in the well.
A shut-off at the well
A disconnect at the well allows the pump or the pressure switch to be worked on without shutting off anything in the house or requiring a walk back to the panel.
Wells on a separate meter
Some wells were equipped with their own meters. Moving the well onto the house meter brings it under one service, fed from a breaker in the house panel.
Septic systems and lift stations
A septic system with a pump, such as an aerobic system or a pump tank, needs power for the pump or the aerator and for its high-water alarm. A lift station, a pump chamber that moves wastewater uphill to a drain field or a sewer line, is wired the same way: a pump circuit, a control or alarm panel, and a disconnect. With the alarm on its own circuit, it still sounds if the pump's breaker trips.
No water: finding where the power stops
When the water stops, the first question is whether power is reaching the pump. Before we arrive:
- Leave the pressure switch cover and the control box closed. Both carry live 240-volt terminals.
- If water is standing around the well equipment, stay clear of it.
On site, we trace the power from the breaker through the disconnect, the pressure switch, and the control box to the wire going down the well. If power reaches the pump and it still won't run, the pump or the well needs a well contractor, and you'll know that before you call one.

Pricing
Pricing Well and Septic Electrical
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.
Custom homes and large or multi-phase projects are estimated as soon as we can, or on the timeline your project sets.
When a pump has no power
03Repair 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.
Our warranty
04If 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.
Real customer stories
A Well Customer's Review
A well moved onto the house meter, with a shut-off at the well
“My water well was on a separate meter and I wanted it connected to my house meter. Kennedy Electric did the work and every step in the process was prompt and professional. They even wired in a shut off breaker/switch at the well site in the event repairs were needed on the well and so the house would not be affected with an electrical loss.”
