At Cornelius Electrical Contractors, we’re here to help you stay powered and safe with expert generator installations, electrical upgrades, and repairs. Don’t wait until the storm is on the horizon—call us today at 321-674-9667 to prepare your home or business!
Why Hurricane Season Demands Preparation
Florida leads the nation in power outages, with residents experiencing an average of 19.1 hours without electricity in 2022, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. Major hurricanes like Ian and Nicole have left millions without power for days or even weeks. The 2025 hurricane season is expected to be active, with a 96% chance of a named storm impacting Florida, based on historical data from Colorado State University. These storms can knock out power lines, flood electrical systems, and cause surges that damage your home’s wiring.
Power outages aren’t just an inconvenience—they can be dangerous. Without electricity, air conditioning stops, medical devices fail, and food spoils. That’s why having a reliable backup generator and a robust electrical system is critical. Cornelius Electrical Contractors specializes in ensuring your home or business is ready for whatever Mother Nature throws your way.
Don’t get caught in the dark this hurricane season! Contact Cornelius Electrical Contractors at 321-674-9667 for a free generator consultation or electrical inspection today.
The Need for Backup Generators
A standby generator is a lifeline during a storm. Unlike portable generators, which require manual setup and can be hazardous if not used properly, standby generators are permanently installed and automatically kick on when the power goes out. They can keep your lights, refrigerator, air conditioner, and even medical equipment running smoothly. Cornelius Electrical Contractors offers top brands like Generac and Kohler, tailored to your specific power needs.
Our team of licensed technicians will assess your home or business, recommend the right generator size, and handle the entire installation process, including transfer switches for seamless power transitions. We also provide ongoing maintenance to ensure your generator is storm-ready. With Florida’s Disaster Preparedness Tax Holiday starting June 1, now is the perfect time to invest in a generator and save on taxes for qualifying purchases.

Electrical Upgrades and Repairs for Storm Safety
Hurricanes can wreak havoc on your electrical system. Flooding, lightning strikes, and power surges can damage wiring, trip breakers, or overload outdated electrical panels. Older homes in Palm Bay, especially those built before 2002, may have panels that can’t handle modern power demands or meet current safety codes. Issues like double-tapped breakers or outdated Zinsco panels are common reasons insurance companies require upgrades.
Cornelius Electrical Contractors provides comprehensive electrical services to keep your home or business safe:
- Panel Upgrades: Replace outdated or undersized panels to support high-energy appliances like air conditioners and prevent overloads.
- Surge Protection: Install whole-home surge protectors to shield your electronics from lightning-induced power spikes.
- Wiring Repairs: Fix damaged or frayed wiring caused by storms or wear and tear.
- GFCI Outlet Installation: Add ground-fault circuit interrupter outlets for outdoor areas, pools, or hot tubs to enhance safety during wet conditions.
Our experienced team ensures all work complies with local codes, giving you peace of mind. If you’ve noticed flickering lights, buzzing outlets, or frequent breaker trips, don’t wait for a storm to cause bigger problems.
