Manny's Electric Services has been handling electrical repairs, installations, and upgrades for homeowners and businesses in Greenacres since 2006. We serve the full range of residential and commercial needs across Palm Beach County, from a single dead outlet to a complete service upgrade. Whether you need an electrician today, after hours, or on a weekend, we keep our schedule flexible so we can get to you when it matters. Work is performed by licensed electricians who know this area and take the job seriously. Fast turnaround. Fair pricing. Safe results.
Doing electrical work right matters, and we'll help you get it right, starting with an honest diagnosis of what's actually going wrong. Dead outlets, flickering lights, tripping breakers, burning smells, sparking outlets, and buzzing switches are all signs that something in your electrical system needs attention. Some of these problems are simple fixes. Others point to a deeper wiring or panel issue that needs to be caught early.
We handle troubleshooting and diagnostics for all of it. If half the house has no power, if a breaker won't reset, if you're smelling something burning near a panel or outlet, call us. We offer prompt response, even for last-minute electrical calls, because electrical problems don't always wait for a convenient time.
Outlet and switch work is some of the most common electrical service we do. We replace and install standard outlets, GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages, and weatherproof exterior outlets for outdoor use. If you want to add an outlet to a room, replace a dead outlet, or install a dimmer switch or new light switch, we handle all of it cleanly and correctly. GFCI and AFCI protection are also part of the picture when we're doing outlet or circuit work, and we make sure everything meets current code before we leave.
A breaker that keeps tripping is telling you something. It might be a faulty breaker, an overloaded circuit, or a wiring problem upstream. We diagnose and repair tripping breakers, replace individual circuit breakers, and assess fuse boxes that need to be brought up to date. If the panel itself is the problem, we'll tell you clearly and walk you through the options. Your panel is in good hands with us.
Whether this is your first repair or your tenth, at some point an older or undersized panel becomes the limiting factor in what your home or building can safely do. We perform 200-amp service upgrades, full electrical panel replacements, and subpanel installations for homes and commercial properties throughout the area. We also handle service-entrance and meter upgrades when the utility connection itself needs to be brought up to capacity.
Part of a panel upgrade is making sure your circuits are sized correctly for what they're feeding. We run load calculations and pull the right permits so the work is code-compliant from start to finish. Dedicated appliance circuits are often part of this work. A dedicated circuit for a dryer, a refrigerator, a large appliance, or the electrical supply for an air conditioning unit keeps those loads from competing with the rest of your home's wiring. We make sure the wiring is done right the first time, so you're not calling us back for the same problem.
Older homes in Greenacres and across Palm Beach County sometimes carry wiring that was fine when it was installed but creates real risk today. Aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube wiring, and ungrounded circuits are all situations we handle regularly. Whole-home rewiring is a significant project, but we plan it carefully and work to minimize disruption to your household or tenants.
We built this business here, and we stand behind every job. That means we're honest about what a rewire involves, what it costs, and what it protects you from. Grounding and bonding are part of this work, and we include an electrical safety inspection so you know exactly what you're starting with. We serve homeowners, condo owners, landlords, and property managers in multi-family buildings who need wiring brought up to a standard that protects tenants and the property. Pick up the phone and we'll handle the wiring.
Your time matters, so we keep the wiring job on schedule, and that goes for lighting and fan installations too. We install recessed lighting, LED lighting, under-cabinet lighting, and accent lighting for kitchens, living spaces, and commercial interiors. Outdoor lighting is part of what we do as well: landscape lighting, security lighting, and exterior outlet installation for patios, driveways, and building perimeters.
Ceiling fan installation and replacement is a common request, especially in Florida where a well-placed fan does real work year-round. We handle the wiring, the mounting, and any switch or dimmer work that goes with it. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, and we clean up before we leave.
We work for a wide range of customers. On the residential side, that includes homeowners, landlords, and property managers handling rental properties, as well as homeowners adding a room, converting a garage, or finishing a space that needs new circuits and outlets. On the commercial side, we serve offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and businesses that need reliable electrical work without downtime.
Real estate transactions often need an electrician too. We perform pre-listing electrical inspections, work with home inspectors, and help buyers and sellers understand what a property's electrical system actually looks like before a deal closes. An electrical safety inspection gives everyone a clear picture. We answer the phone. We dispatch the electrician. We keep it simple.
South Florida's climate shapes the electrical work that comes up most often here. Hurricane season runs June through November. Lightning is a regular occurrence, not an occasional one. Year-round heat means air conditioning systems run hard, and backyard pools and spas are part of everyday life for a lot of Greenacres homeowners. The electrical needs that follow from all of that are specific, and we know them well.
Power outages during hurricane season are a real possibility in Palm Beach County, and a standby generator changes that picture entirely. We handle generator hookup and transfer switch installation for whole-home backup systems. That means running the dedicated circuit, installing the transfer switch, and making sure your panel has the capacity to carry the load. We take pride in the electrical work we leave behind on every generator installation, because this is equipment that has to work when the power goes out and nothing else will.
Florida leads the country in lightning strikes, and that matters for every piece of electronics and electrical equipment in your home or business. A whole-home surge protector installed at the panel is the most effective way to protect against voltage spikes from lightning and utility fluctuations. We install whole-house surge protection as part of new panel work or as a standalone upgrade, and we make sure grounding and bonding are solid before we close anything up. We're one phone call from getting your power right.
Pools and spas are common in Greenacres, and the electrical work that goes with them has specific code requirements for good reason. Water and electricity demand careful handling. We wire pool equipment, hot tubs, and spa systems with GFCI protection and code-compliant circuits throughout. Exterior outlet installation near a pool or patio area is part of this work too. We'll walk you through what's required and make sure the finished installation is safe, inspected, and built to last.
Scheduling a service call is simple, and we keep our availability open to fit real schedules. We offer same-day service when the calendar allows, and we take after-hours and weekend calls for situations that can't wait. If you need an emergency electrician in Greenacres, call us directly and we'll tell you honestly what we can do and when.
On pricing, we give you a straight quote before work begins. There's no obligation to proceed, and we don't pad estimates. We also run dedicated circuits for EV chargers, which is a request that comes up more and more as electric vehicles become common in the area. Reach out and an electrician will follow up.
We're based in Greenacres and work throughout the surrounding communities every day. Our service area covers Lake Worth Beach, Wellington, West Palm Beach, Royal Palm Beach, Lantana, Boynton Beach, and Loxahatchee, along with the neighborhoods and communities in between. If you're looking for a local electrician or electrical contractor near you in Palm Beach County, we're already in the area.
A burning smell near an outlet or panel is a sign of a serious problem that needs immediate attention. It can indicate overheating wiring, a failing breaker, or an arc-fault condition inside the wall or panel. Stop using the affected outlet or circuit and call us right away at (561) 954-4953. Do not wait to see if the smell goes away.
We start with a walkthrough of the reported problem area, then use test equipment to check voltage, continuity, and circuit behavior. For panel issues, we inspect breakers, connections, and load distribution. For outlet or wiring problems, we trace the circuit back to find where the fault is occurring. We do not guess and replace parts at random.
That depends on your current panel size, your existing load, and what type of charger you want to install. A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and some panels need a capacity adjustment before we can add one. We check your panel before we start and let you know exactly what is needed. If an upgrade is required, we handle that as part of the same project.
Pool and spa wiring requires dedicated circuits, GFCI protection at every required point, and proper bonding to reduce shock hazard near water. The National Electrical Code has specific requirements for these installations, and local inspections are part of the process. We handle all of it, including exterior outlet installation near the pool deck when it is part of the job.
Our role is the electrical side of the installation: running the dedicated circuit from the panel, installing the transfer switch, and wiring the generator connection so it is safe and code-compliant. The transfer switch is what prevents backfeed onto the utility grid, which is both a safety requirement and a code requirement. We size the circuit and panel capacity for the generator's load and make sure the system is ready before storm season arrives.
A surge protector installed at the panel intercepts voltage spikes before they reach your appliances, electronics, and other connected equipment. In South Florida, lightning and utility fluctuations are the most common sources of damaging surges. Panel-level surge protection is more effective than power strips because it catches the spike at the source, before it travels through your home's wiring.
For most jobs, yes, someone needs to be on-site to provide access and be available if we have questions during the job. For larger projects like a panel upgrade or rewire, we will walk you through what to expect before we start. If your schedule is a constraint, let us know when you call and we will work out an arrangement that makes sense.
We start with an electrical safety inspection to assess what wiring is in place, what condition it is in, and where the risks are. If the problem is isolated to one area or one circuit type, a partial rewire may be the right approach. If the wiring throughout the home is outdated or unsafe, a full rewire is the more practical and cost-effective solution long-term. We give you an honest assessment and explain the reasoning.
Yes. When the scope of work requires a permit, we pull it and schedule the inspection as part of the job. Panel upgrades, service upgrades, rewiring projects, and generator installations typically require permits in Palm Beach County. We handle that process so you do not have to, and we make sure the work passes inspection before we close things up.
Additional charges come up when we find something unexpected once we open a wall, panel, or junction box. That might be wiring in worse condition than it appeared, a grounding issue that needs correction, or a circuit that requires more work than the initial assessment indicated. We stop and tell you before we proceed with anything beyond the original scope. You are never charged for work you did not approve.
All outdoor wiring and fixtures we install are rated for exterior use and weather exposure. Weatherproof outlet covers, conduit where required, and proper sealing at entry points are standard parts of an outdoor installation. South Florida's humidity and storm exposure make this especially important, and we do not cut corners on materials or installation methods for exterior work.
A standard 200-amp panel upgrade usually takes most of a day, including the utility coordination and inspection scheduling. More complex jobs involving subpanel installation, service-entrance work, or significant circuit additions may take longer. We give you a realistic timeline before we start so you can plan accordingly.
Emergency and after-hours calls may carry a different rate than standard daytime appointments. We are transparent about that when you call, so you know what to expect before we head out. We do not spring additional fees on you after the job is done.
When you need an electrician in Greenacres, call Manny's Electric Services at (561) 954-4953. We'll talk through what you need, give you a quote, and get an electrician out to you. We answer the phone. We dispatch the electrician. We keep it simple.
Whether you need a repair today or you're planning a larger project, we're ready to help. We answer the phone, we know the area, and we've been doing this work here since 2006. We're one phone call from getting your power right.

How do I know if my home needs a panel or service upgrade?
Common signs include a fuse box still in place, 100-amp service in a home with modern appliances, breakers that trip when multiple things run at once, or a panel that feels warm to the touch. If you are adding an EV charger, a hot tub, or significant new square footage, a load calculation will tell you whether the current panel can handle it. We assess the situation before recommending anything.
What causes a breaker to trip repeatedly?
A breaker that trips often is doing its job, but it is telling you something is wrong. The circuit may be overloaded with too many devices drawing power at once, there may be a short somewhere in the wiring, or the breaker itself may be worn and failing. We run a proper diagnostic to find the actual cause rather than just resetting the breaker and moving on.
Is the electrical work permitted and inspected?
Work that requires a permit in Palm Beach County gets pulled and inspected. We handle the permit process as part of the job on panel upgrades, service upgrades, new circuits, and any work the local jurisdiction requires to be inspected. You get documentation that the work was done to code.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We keep our schedule flexible so we can respond when you actually need us. Most calls in the Greenacres area get a same-day or next-day response, and we take after-hours and weekend calls when the situation cannot wait.
My home was built in the 1970s. Is the wiring safe?
It depends on what is in there. Homes from that era sometimes have aluminum branch circuit wiring, which requires specific connections and devices to be safe. Some older properties still have knob-and-tube wiring. Neither is automatically a crisis, but both need to be evaluated by someone who knows what to look for. We inspect older systems and tell you honestly what needs attention.
What do flickering or dimming lights usually mean?
Occasional flickering when a large appliance kicks on can be normal, but persistent flickering across multiple rooms or circuits usually points to a loose connection, an overloaded panel, or a problem at the service entrance. It is worth having an electrician look at it rather than ignoring it, especially in an older home.
How does an EV charger installation work, and what does my home need?
A Level 2 home charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit. We start by checking whether your panel has the capacity to add that circuit. If it does, we run the circuit and mount the charger. If the panel is already at capacity, we discuss a service upgrade as part of the same project. We work with all major charger brands and handle everything from the panel to the wall mount.
Work Performed by Licensed Electricians
Every job, whether it is a single outlet repair or a full panel upgrade, is handled by licensed electricians who know the code requirements for Palm Beach County.
What size generator do I need, and what does the hookup involve?
Generator sizing depends on which circuits you want to keep live during an outage. A whole-home standby unit is sized to carry the full load; a portable generator with an interlock covers a selected set of circuits. We handle the electrical side of the hookup: transfer switch installation, panel integration, and wiring. We can walk you through sizing options when you call.
Do I need to be home while the work is being done?
For most jobs, yes. We need access to the panel, the affected circuits, and any areas where we are running wire. If you are a landlord or property manager coordinating access for a tenant, let us know when you call and we will work out the logistics with you.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We give you a clear number before work starts and tell you exactly what it covers. If the scope changes once we open things up, we talk to you first.
Why would an outlet or switch stop working entirely?
Dead outlets are often caused by a tripped GFCI outlet upstream on the same circuit, a tripped breaker, a loose connection at the outlet itself, or a wiring fault. Before calling, check whether a nearby GFCI outlet has a tripped reset button and whether the breaker is fully in the on position. If neither fixes it, we come out and trace the problem from there.
Is surge protection worth it in South Florida?
Yes, and more so here than in most parts of the country. South Florida sees some of the highest lightning strike frequency in the United States, and a nearby strike can damage appliances and electronics even if it does not hit the home directly. Panel-level surge protection intercepts voltage spikes before they reach your devices. It is a straightforward install and a practical investment for this area.
How do estimates and pricing work?
We give you a clear quote before any work begins. The estimate covers what we found and what the repair or installation involves. If something unexpected comes up once we open a wall or panel, we stop and talk to you before doing additional work. You are never committed to a cost you did not agree to.
