Martin County
Electrician in Stuart, FL
Stuart is home base. It's also the town on this list with the oldest and most varied housing stock — which is why more of Ken's work here involves finding out what a previous decade left behind than installing something new.

Old houses, old panels
Between the historic homes around downtown, the mid-century neighborhoods off East Ocean and Colorado, and the 1970s and 80s builds spreading west, a lot of Stuart is running on electrical systems designed for a very different household. Two-wire circuits with no ground, panels that have been full for twenty years, and the occasional Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel that an insurer has now flagged. That last one is the most common reason a Stuart homeowner calls Vital Electric for the first time — a 4-point inspection came back with the panel circled.
The river is right there
Stuart sits where the St. Lucie River meets the Indian River Lagoon, and a large number of homes here — Sewall's Point, Rocky Point, Snug Harbor, the streets running down to Manatee Pocket in Port Salerno — either back onto water or sit close enough to it that salt air is a factor. It shortens the life of outdoor disconnects, meter cans, pool equipment and dock wiring considerably. On the water side of town, corrosion is usually the actual cause behind whatever symptom brought Ken out.
