New construction electrical
Vital Electric wires new homes and light commercial buildings from the temp pole to the final trim. Ken works off your plans, keeps pace with the framing and drywall schedule, and hands the inspector work that passes the first time — because a failed rough-in inspection doesn't just cost a day, it stalls every trade behind you.
Service and load, sized before anything gets pulled
Everything downstream depends on getting the service right. Ken runs the load calculation against what the house is actually going to have in it — heat pump, tankless or heat-pump water heater, range, pool equipment, a shop in the garage, and increasingly an EV charger — and sizes the service and panel to that, with room left for what gets added in year three. Undersizing the panel is the single most expensive shortcut in a new build, because the fix later is a full changeout.
Rough-in
Boxes set to depth for the finish material, home runs pulled and labeled, circuits split so that the kitchen, laundry and bathrooms land where the code requires and not wherever the wire happened to reach. Low-voltage and future-proofing — ceiling fan boxes rated for fans, conduit sleeves to the attic, a spare run to the garage for a charger — get decided at rough-in, when they're nearly free, instead of after the drywall is up.
Trim-out and final
Devices, fixtures, panel labeling, and the final walk. Tamper-resistant receptacles, AFCI and GFCI protection where the code calls for it, and whole-house surge protection at the service — required on new dwelling services and genuinely worth having in a part of the state that gets this much lightning.
Why a licensed electrical contractor on new work
New construction is permitted and inspected work. In Martin, St. Lucie and Palm Beach counties the electrical permit has to be pulled by a licensed electrical contractor, and the building department will tie the inspection sign-offs back to that license.
- The permit gets pulled under EC13011489 — not under a homeowner affidavit that puts the liability on you
- Rough-in and final inspections are scheduled and met, so the drywall and finish trades aren't sitting idle
- Load calculations are documented, which matters when the appraiser or the next buyer's inspector asks
- Work is insured, so a mistake found two years from now isn't your problem to chase
