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.
Boca Raton has a little of everything an electrician can be asked to handle: 1970s and 1980s houses with original panels, oceanfront condos going through recertification, newer gated communities adding EV chargers and pool equipment, and a steady stream of offices and retail spaces being refitted. The right contractor for a condo panel swap is not always the right one for a whole-house generator or a restaurant build-out, so this list tries to say what each company is actually set up to do.
We cover Boca Raton and the south end of Palm Beach County, including Delray Beach, Highland Beach and the unincorporated areas west of the city. Every company below was checked against its own website and at least one independent listing, and each description sticks to what that company says about itself.
How we chose
We looked for licensed electrical contractors that are currently operating, that name Boca Raton or south Palm Beach County as a place they work, and that publish enough about their services for a homeowner or property manager to tell whether they are a fit. Where a company shows its state license number on its site we note it; you can confirm any number, and the license status, on the Florida DBPR license search. We did not use star ratings or review counts, because those change weekly, and we did not compare prices. We rank ourselves first because this is our list; the order of the others is not a judgment of quality, and every one of them is a reasonable call for the right job.

How to choose an electrician in Boca Raton
Check the license. Florida electrical contractors hold either an EC license, which is valid statewide, or an ER license, which is a local registration. Search the name or number on the DBPR license search and confirm the license is current and the business name matches the one on your contract.
Ask who pulls the permit. Most electrical work in Boca Raton needs a permit from the city's Development Services department, which handles building permits and inspections and takes applications through its Boca eHub portal. Addresses outside city limits go to Palm Beach County or the relevant municipality. Homeowners can pull a permit for their own single-family home under the owner-builder exemption in Florida Statutes section 489.103, but a contractor who pulls the permit is taking responsibility for passing inspection.
Know your wind zone. Palm Beach County is not in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone; under the Florida Building Code the HVHZ is Broward and Miami-Dade counties only (HVHZ definition). Exterior equipment such as generators, disconnects and EV chargers still has to be mounted to the wind requirements for its location, and your contractor should know which set applies.
Match the contractor to the job. A generator specialist, a residential service company and a commercial contractor all do good work, but they are built for different projects. Condo work usually needs association approval and access coordination; older homes may need a panel or service upgrade before an EV charger or heat pump can be added. Ask for a written scope that names the equipment and the circuits.
Plan around storm season. Atlantic hurricane season runs June 1 to November 30 (National Hurricane Center), and generator and surge protection jobs book up as it approaches. Our storm readiness page lists what to check early.
FAQ
Do I need a permit to replace an electrical panel in Boca Raton?
Yes. Panel and service changes need an electrical permit and inspection. The City of Boca Raton issues permits through Development Services, and your contractor will usually coordinate the utility disconnect and reconnect as part of the job.
Is Boca Raton in the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone?
No. The Florida Building Code limits the HVHZ to Broward and Miami-Dade counties (source). Boca Raton, in Palm Beach County, uses the standard Florida Building Code wind provisions for its location.
How do I check an electrician's license in Florida?
Use the DBPR license search and search by name or license number. The record shows the license type, status and the business it is qualified for.
