Your Trusted Local Electrician in Port Charlotte
Port Charlotte grew up as a 1950s–60s planned community, so a large share of its homes date to the 1960s–1980s — the era of undersized service, aging panels, and wiring that’s due for attention. Then came Hurricane Ian in 2022, which hit Charlotte County head-on and left much of the area’s electrical infrastructure damaged. That combination drives the work we do most here: service-entrance, meter, and mast replacements, whole-home rewires, panel replacements, and standby generators. Along the canals and near Charlotte Harbor, salt air corrodes meter bases and outdoor equipment years faster than inland.
Shockwave Electric is a licensed, insured Florida electrical contractor (Lic. EC13016151) serving Port Charlotte and Charlotte County — usually the same day. Whether you’re rebuilding after a storm, replacing a corroded meter base, or wiring a dock or boat lift, we quote it upfront and complete every job to current NEC and Charlotte County code.
