Boat Lift and Marina Electrical Wiring and Lighting

Top-Rated and Reliable Electricians Serving Citrus, Hernando, and Pasco Counties

 
 

A boat lift installation and marina electrical wiring project should meet safety standards to ensure the dock can be used to its full potential. Electricity and water are a dangerous combination, which makes it essential to work with a trusted, licensed, and insured electrician to guarantee safety when working on dock electrical services. Whether looking to build a new boat dock or upgrade an existing one, professional electricians can correctly power the boat lift and put protective devices in place while ensuring the electrical panel has appropriate wiring and connections.

Kennedy Electric can help customers choose the best custom boat lift that fits their dock space and needs. We install boat lifts with customer satisfaction in mind. Our team also provides marina electrical wiring and the right lighting solutions, including underwater lighting, for waterfront property owners to allow them to enjoy boating long after the sun goes down. Our comprehensive boat deck electrical services comply with current codes and regulations.

Boat and Jet Ski Lifts:

Boat and jet ski lifts prevent corrosion and help minimize the wear and tear from various elements and marine life. Our electricians have the experience and expertise to power new boat lifts, ensuring code compliance. We examine the type of power required to operate one or more boat lifts and, if the ramp will be submerged during flooding, to set up a reliable power system. An improper boat and jet ski lift installation can have disastrous consequences. Our licensed team of electricians can handle the entire process safely.

Our highly trained marine electricians ensure proper control wiring so the lifts respond appropriately to commands. We also handle the motor wiring to keep the equipment safe and operational. If the dock lacks any wiring, our electricians can run new wiring. We take adequate precautions to prevent safety hazards associated with poor installation and faulty electrical wires and circuits. Rely on us for boat and jet ski lift wiring and installation for seamless operation.

Dock and Marina Lighting:

The right dock and marina lighting is vital to ensure safety. We provide top-quality dock and marina lighting services at competitive prices. Our electricians aim to ensure the lighting system works correctly and is up to code. Our aesthetically pleasing and efficient lighting solutions ensure safety and visibility for early morning or nighttime marine activities to enhance the overall waterfront experience.

We offer various creative lighting options, including LED, underwater lighting, solar power lighting, overhead lighting, recessed, track, or pendant lights, and motion-activated floodlights. Our team securely connects the lights to the dock’s electrical system to prevent electrical shocks and other hazards. Our lighting solutions ensure the dock looks visually appealing and is adequately illuminated and safe. No matter the project’s complexity, we ensure successful lighting system installation quickly and cost-efficiently.

Marina Pedestal Wiring:

A pedestal is an electrical housing unit that ensures safe electricity to a marina or private dock. Pedestals come in unique designs that are functional, appealing, and durable enough to endure harsh weather conditions. They also have circuit breakers to turn the power source on and off when necessary and feature safety mechanisms like ground fault protection if the device comes in contact with water.

Our team takes care of the marina pedestal wiring needs to keep it working optimally. We help boat owners decide on the right pedestal to ensure they have the necessary energy to power appliances and electronic devices. We have experience and training in installing pedestals of various sizes in residential and commercial properties. We use industry-leading products that provide a safe energy source and resist rust, corrosion, UV rays, and other elements.
