Nextgen Electric - Merritt Island's Emergency Electrical Contractor

Florida's frequent storms make whole-home surge protection a smart investment. We recommend installing a surge protector at your main electrical panel. This device acts as a first line of defense, diverting massive voltage spikes from lightning or grid fluctuations away from your wiring and expensive electronics. For comprehensive protection, we can also install point-of-use surge protectors for sensitive equipment. This layered approach is the most effective way to prevent damage common in our area.

Salt air and humidity in Merritt Island cause rapid corrosion of standard outdoor outlets. The best solution is to have us replace them with weather-resistant (WR) outlets that have corrosion-resistant materials and self-closing covers. For areas exposed to direct weather or near pools, we install Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets, which are required by code and will automatically shut off power if moisture is detected, preventing shocks and further corrosion damage.

A standby generator is a great way to maintain power during our frequent storms and outages. Proper installation is critical for safety and performance. Our licensed electricians handle the entire process: assessing your home's electrical load, obtaining permits, installing a transfer switch to isolate your home from the grid (preventing backfeed, which is dangerous to utility workers), and connecting the generator to your electrical panel with all required disconnects. We ensure everything is up to Florida building code and rated for our coastal environment.
