Best Electrical Contractors in South Florida (2026)

KRW Electric publishes this list and ranks itself first. The other companies are included from public information on their own websites and profiles; none paid to appear, and we have no business relationship with them.

Searching for an electrical contractor in South Florida returns hundreds of names, and most of them look alike from the outside: a truck, a phone number and a list of services. The differences show up later, in who pulls the permit, who shows up for the inspection, and whether the company is set up for the size of job you actually have. A firm built for hospital campuses is not the natural choice for a condo panel swap, and a two-truck residential shop may not be the right call for a new three-phase service.

This list covers eight electrical contractors that work across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. We put ourselves first, and say so above. For everyone else we used only what each company says about itself on its own website, plus a public listing (Google, BBB, Yelp or the state license record), and we note who each one looks best suited to.

How we chose

We started from the contractors that show up most often when South Florida owners, property managers and general contractors search for an electrical contractor, then kept only companies that met all of these tests:

• A real, operating business with a South Florida base. Each has its own website and a public business listing, and names an office or service area in Miami-Dade, Broward or Palm Beach County.
• Licensed electrical contracting. Where a company publishes its Florida license number, we mention it. You should still look up any contractor yourself on myfloridalicense.com before you sign.
• A clear description of the work. We only list services that each company names on its own site.
• A spread of sizes and specialties. The list runs from a national commercial firm to local service shops, because the right contractor depends on the job.

We did not use star ratings, review counts, prices or response promises to rank anyone. Those change week to week and are hard to compare fairly. The order below after our own entry reflects fit for a broad range of South Florida work, not a score.

At a glance

1. KRW Electric

KRW Electric Company LLC is a licensed Florida electrical contractor, license EC13012832, owned by Kyle White and based in Miami Beach. We work across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, on both sides of the trade: commercial electrical services for owners, tenants, developers and general contractors, and residential work from panel upgrades to whole-home rewiring.

On the commercial side that means new construction, commercial remodels and tenant improvements, service and switchgear, dedicated circuits, preventive maintenance and lighting controls and LED retrofits. We handle the permit and the inspection on our jobs, and we are reachable at any hour for an electrical emergency. KRW Electric is rated 5.0 on Google across 118 reviews; you can read them on our reviews page.

Best for: owners, property managers and general contractors who want one licensed contractor for commercial and residential work across all three counties.

Worth knowing: we do not sell solar, battery storage, fire alarm systems or security cameras, so those scopes go to a specialist.

2. Facility Solutions Group (FSG)

FSG is a national commercial electrical and lighting contractor. Its South Florida page lists an office at 10388 W State Road 84 in Davie and a service area covering Miami, Miami Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami-Dade and Broward counties, with Florida electrical license EC-0001073 shown on the page. Services named there include electrical construction, lighting retrofits, EV charging installation, building controls, signage and technology integration, and the industries listed include education, healthcare, retail, industrial and mission-critical facilities.

Best for: large commercial owners and multi-location operators who want one national vendor for electrical, lighting and controls.

Worth knowing: the company presents itself as a commercial and facilities contractor, so a single-family home project is unlikely to be a fit.

3. Langer Electric Service Co.

Langer Electric says it has operated in South Florida since 1939 and describes itself as family-operated and woman-owned. Its main office is at 6500 NW 21st Avenue in Fort Lauderdale, and it serves Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. Its site covers residential, commercial and industrial work; the commercial page lists new construction and installation, upgrades and expansions, power and control wiring, maintenance, infrared surveys, troubleshooting and testing. The site shows state license EC0001959.

Best for: building owners who want a long-established local firm that does both service calls and construction.

Worth knowing: Langer's site also lists fire alarm and data cabling work, which makes it one of the broader-scope names on this list.

4. Hypower

Hypower is headquartered at 5913 NW 31st Avenue in Fort Lauderdale and says it was founded in 1991. It describes itself as a general, electrical and utility contractor, and its site lists electrical construction, power infrastructure, telecommunications and fiber, airfield lighting and virtual design and construction, for commercial, industrial and institutional clients such as airports and cruise terminals. The state license record lists Hypower, LLC as an active electrical contractor.

Best for: developers and public or institutional owners with large, heavy electrical programs.

Worth knowing: Hypower's work leans toward large construction and infrastructure, so small tenant or residential jobs are probably outside its focus.

5. Tirone Electric & Data

Tirone Electric & Data is based at 3300 Corporate Avenue in Weston and says it has served South Florida since 1978. Its site lists electrical contractor licenses EC0003059 and EC0000345 and names commercial, industrial, institutional, healthcare and residential markets across Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties. Services include system design, installation, maintenance, emergency response, and electrical and data contracting.

Best for: healthcare and commercial buildings that want electrical and structured cabling from the same contractor.

Worth knowing: its emphasis is commercial and healthcare, so a homeowner may find a residential-focused shop a closer match.

6. S.E. Bates Electric

S.E. Bates Electric says it has offered electrical service since 1992. Its Miami location page lists residential, commercial and industrial electrical contracting, including installations, lighting, construction, panel upgrades and whole-home generators, across Miami, Coral Gables, Kendall, Hialeah, Weston, Fort Lauderdale and Boca Raton. The page shows Florida license EC13005952, and its public listing places it in the Hialeah Gardens area.

Best for: homeowners and small businesses in Miami-Dade who want a local contractor for installs and upgrades.

Worth knowing: its location page is written mainly for home and small-business service, so ask about crew size if you are planning a large commercial build.

7. Solomon Electric

Solomon Electric is based at 4036 N 29th Avenue in Hollywood and serves Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties. Its site shows Florida license EC13012419 and describes residential and commercial work: panel upgrades, EV charger installation, whole-home surge protection, lighting and ceiling fan installation, and emergency service. It also has a page for commercial tenant build-out electrical work.

Best for: homeowners and small commercial tenants who want a service-focused contractor in Broward or Miami-Dade.

Worth knowing: most of the site is organized around service calls and upgrades, so for a ground-up commercial building confirm the scope they take on.

8. Benchmark Electric

Benchmark Electric lists an office at 1391 NE 161st Street in North Miami Beach. Its site covers residential work (repairs, panel upgrades, EV and Tesla charger installation, generators, lighting and rewiring) and commercial work including new construction electrical installation and code compliance corrections. It names a service area running from Aventura and Hollywood north through Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and West Palm Beach.

Best for: homeowners in north Miami-Dade and Broward planning an upgrade such as a panel, charger or generator.

Worth knowing: the license number is not shown on its home page, so look it up on myfloridalicense.com before you hire, as you should with anyone.

How to choose an electrical contractor in South Florida

The best contractor on paper is not always the best one for your job. A few checks sort most of it out:

• Look up the license. Search the company or the qualifier on myfloridalicense.com. Florida issues electrical contractor licenses through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation; make sure the license is active and that the name matches the business you are hiring.
• Ask who pulls the permit. Most electrical work in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach needs a permit and an inspection. Homeowners can pull a permit for their own single-family home under the owner-builder exemption in section 489.103, Florida Statutes, but then they carry the responsibility the contractor would otherwise carry. A contractor who suggests skipping the permit is a warning sign.
• Match the contractor to the job size. A new commercial service, a restaurant build-out or a tenant improvement needs a contractor that works from drawings, coordinates with the utility and the general contractor, and closes out inspections. A panel swap or a charger install needs a responsive service crew. Some firms do both; many are much better at one.
• Get the scope in writing. A good proposal names what is included, what is excluded, and what depends on the inspector or the utility.
• Plan for South Florida conditions. Salt air, humidity and hurricanes shape material choices, especially outdoors and near the coast. Broward and Miami-Dade are also the state's High-Velocity Hurricane Zone under the Florida Building Code, which affects exterior equipment mounting and product approvals.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an electrician and an electrical contractor?

An electrician is a person who does the work. An electrical contractor is the licensed business that contracts for the work, pulls permits and answers for it. In Florida the contractor license is issued through the state; you can check it on myfloridalicense.com.

Do I need a commercial electrical contractor for a small business space?

For a build-out, a new service or anything shown on permit drawings, yes, you want a contractor that does commercial work regularly. For a simple repair in a small office, a service contractor that also takes commercial calls is often fine. Our list of commercial electricians in Miami goes further.

Which code applies to electrical work in South Florida?

Florida uses the Florida Building Code. The 8th Edition (2023) took effect on 31 December 2023, and its electrical requirements are based on the 2020 National Electrical Code. Local building departments in each county enforce it.

Can one contractor cover Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach?

Yes. Several firms on this list, including KRW Electric, work in all three counties. Each city or county issues its own permits, so the contractor has to know each building department's process. See our Broward County and Miami-Dade County pages, or the Broward contractor list.
