Markarian Electric | Local Electrical Company in Fort Myers, FL

In our coastal climate, two common culprits are salt air corrosion on wiring and loose connections in your electrical panel. Corrosion increases resistance, causing overheating, while loose connections can create intermittent faults. Both trigger your breaker as a safety measure. We recommend a professional electric inspection and panel repair to identify and resolve these specific, weather-related issues to prevent potential hazards.

Absolutely. While a standard security system monitors for intrusion, we offer security monitoring services that can include smoke and heat detectors. More importantly, our security system installation often starts with a thorough electrical inspection to ensure all connections—a common source of heat and fire in older Florida homes—are secure and up to code, providing a foundational layer of safety for your entire property.

For durability against corrosion, we recommend and install light fixtures and outlets specifically rated for damp or wet locations and made with corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel or marine-grade polymers. Proper installation is also key; we ensure seals are tight and wiring connections are secure to prevent moisture and salt intrusion, which can lead to premature failure and the need for frequent repair.
