Best Electricians in Coral Gables (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.

Coral Gables is one of the more particular places in South Florida to do electrical work. Many homes date from the 1920s through the 1950s, some sit on the city's historic register, and the city runs its own building department rather than relying on Miami-Dade County's. Add the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone rules that apply across the county, and an electrician working here needs to know the paperwork as well as the wiring.

This list covers electrical contractors that work in Coral Gables and the neighborhoods around it, including South Miami, Coconut Grove and the parts of Miami that border the city. Each company was checked against its own website and at least one independent listing, and each description is limited to what the company says about itself.

How we chose

We included licensed electrical contractors that are currently operating, that name Coral Gables or its immediate neighbors as a service area or home base, and that publish enough about their services for you to judge the fit. Where a company shows its state license number on its site we list it; you can confirm any license on the Florida DBPR license search. We did not use star ratings, review counts or prices, since those change constantly and are easy to misread. KRW Electric ranks itself first because we publish the list; the order after that is not a ranking of quality.

1. KRW Electric

KRW Electric Company LLC (license EC13012832) is owned by Kyle White, based in Miami Beach, and serves Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, including Coral Gables and the rest of Miami-Dade County.

Best for: Coral Gables homeowners renovating an older house, and businesses along Miracle Mile or Ponce de Leon that need tenant or equipment work.

Worth knowing: KRW is based in Miami Beach, so give the address and any historic designation when you call so the permit path is clear from the start.

2. Elekron Electric

Elekron Electric Inc is based on Galiano Street in Coral Gables and shows license EC13009214 on its contact page. Its site lists residential and commercial work, including panel upgrades, whole-house rewires, cloth and aluminum wiring replacement, building recertifications, tenant build-outs, EV and Tesla chargers, and moving FPL overhead lines underground.

Best for: older Coral Gables homes that need rewiring, and buildings going through recertification.

Worth knowing: its site does not advertise emergency service, so it is better suited to planned projects.

3. Xmart Power Electric

Xmart Power Electric LLC is listed on South Dixie Highway in Coral Gables and says on its Coral Gables page that it serves homes and businesses, including historic Coral Gables homes. It lists home automation, security cameras and network cabling alongside electrical work, and it has an emergency service page.

Best for: projects that combine electrical work with smart-home controls, cameras or network cabling.

Worth knowing: we could not find a license number on its Coral Gables page, so look it up on the DBPR search before signing.

4. WireMasters Electric

WireMasters Electric is based on SW 129th Terrace in Miami and has a Coral Gables service page. Its site says it has served the area since 2008 and lists mainly residential work, including repairs, panels, generators, EV chargers and pool and landscape lighting, with some commercial work. It also operates under the Miami Electric Masters name and advertises emergency service.

Best for: homeowners who want a large residential service company.

Worth knowing: the two brand names are the same business, so you do not need to call both.

5. Legacy Electrical Contractors

Legacy Electrical Contractors LLC says it serves Miami-Dade and Broward and lists Coral Gables and South Miami among its service areas. Its about page shows license EC13008804 and says the company was founded in 2018. It lists residential, commercial and industrial work, including panel and three-phase work, warehouse and tenant build-outs, Generac generators and EV charging, and it advertises emergency service.

Best for: jobs that mix residential and light commercial work, or need three-phase service.

Worth knowing: its site does not give a street address, so confirm where the crew is coming from.

6. Electric Service & Repair

Electric Service & Repair, Inc. is based on SW 88th Avenue in Miami and shows license EC13003573 on its homepage. Its Coral Gables page describes commercial clients such as hospitals, churches, schools and offices, and its services include 40-year building recertification, build-outs, lightning protection and switchgear, alongside residential panels, EV chargers, generators and pool and dock wiring.

Best for: commercial buildings and condominium recertification.

Worth knowing: its focus leans commercial, so a single-room residential job may not be its main line of work.

7. Mister Sparky of Miami

Mister Sparky of Miami is a local location of the national franchise, based on SW 114th Place in Miami, and shows license EC13008384 on its Miami page. Its Coral Gables page lists residential repairs, panels, generators, EV chargers and smart home work, and the Miami location advertises emergency service.

Best for: residential service calls from a franchise location.

Worth knowing: its focus is residential service, so larger commercial projects may be a better fit elsewhere.

What makes Coral Gables different

The city runs its own building department

Coral Gables is a municipality within Miami-Dade County (Miami-Dade municipalities list), but permits are issued by the city, not the county. The city's Development Services department says its Building Division handles the permitting process, Florida Building Code plan review and inspections, and permits are applied for through the city's permit portal. As one example, the city's Development Services FAQ says a generator installation needs an electrical permit, with a plumbing gas sub-permit if the generator runs on gas.

Historic properties need extra review

The city's Preserving Our Past guide says properties listed in the Coral Gables Register are subject to Historic Preservation Board or staff review before building permits are issued for exterior alterations, through an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness. For electrical work that usually matters when something changes on the outside of the house: a new service mast or meter location, a generator pad, exterior lighting or an EV charger on the facade. If your home is designated, check with the city's Historic Preservation office before the permit is filed.

The High-Velocity Hurricane Zone applies

Under the Florida Building Code, the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone consists of Broward and Miami-Dade counties (HVHZ definition), so Coral Gables projects are held to those rules. Exterior electrical equipment such as generators, disconnects and outdoor panels has to be mounted and anchored to suit, and product approvals matter.

How to choose an electrician in Coral Gables

• Check the license. Search the company or license number on the DBPR license search and make sure the license is active and matches the business on your contract.
• Ask who pulls the permit, and with which office. It should be the City of Coral Gables for addresses inside the city. Homeowners can pull their own permit for a single-family home under Florida Statutes section 489.103, but most choose to have the contractor do it.
• Mention a historic designation early. A Certificate of Appropriateness can add a step before the permit, and it is better to plan around it than discover it at the counter.
• Get a written scope. It should name the equipment, the circuits and what happens to walls and finishes, which matters in plaster and older construction.
• Think about hurricane season. The Atlantic season runs June 1 to November 30 (National Hurricane Center); generator and panel work is easier to schedule before it starts. See our storm readiness checklist.
