A Homeowner’s Guide to Wiring Upgrades and Installation in Palatka and Surrounding Areas
Whether you’re building a new home, remodeling an older property, or upgrading parts of your electrical system, wiring is at the heart of a safe and functional home. From lights and outlets to appliances and modern technologies like EV chargers and smart devices, reliable wiring ensures your home can keep up with your lifestyle.
At Davis Electric Services LLC, we specialize in residential and commercial electrical work across Putnam, and surrounding counties. Home wiring isn’t something most people see day-to-day, but it impacts almost everything in your home. Properly installed wiring reduces fire hazards, keeps your electrical system efficient, and ensures your home can handle the demands of today’s devices as well as tomorrow’s upgrades.
Homeowners often need wiring services for a variety of reasons. New construction requires complete electrical systems. Renovations and remodels usually involve shifting outlets, lights, or circuits to fit new layouts. Panel upgrades and dedicated circuits are often needed for high-demand appliances like HVAC systems, water heaters, or EV chargers. And in many older homes, outdated cloth wiring or undersized circuits need to be replaced to meet current safety standards.
Most wiring projects require an electrical permit and inspection to ensure the work is safe and compliant.

As electric vehicles (EVs) continue to grow in popularity, more homeowners and businesses in Putnam County, FL are considering EV charger installation as a smart investment. Whether you drive a Tesla, Ford Lightning, or Rivian, having a reliable and properly installed charging station at home or at work makes EV ownership more convenient and efficient. At Davis Electric Services LLC, we specialize in residential and commercial EV charger installations in Palatka, East Palatka, Interlachen, and throughout Putnam County. Below, we break down what you need to know before installing an EV charger—and why working with a licensed local electrician matters. What Types of EV Chargers Are There? There are three main levels of EV chargers: Level 1: Uses a standard 120V outlet. Best for overnight charging but can be too slow for most daily driving needs. Level 2: Requires a 240V circuit. These are the most common home charging solution and can fully charge most EVs in 6–10 hours. Level 3 (DC Fast Charging): Typically used for commercial applications. These provide rapid charging but require special equipment and utility coordination. For most Putnam County homeowners, a Level 2 EV charger is the ideal balance of speed and affordability. Do I Need a Permit to Install an EV Charger in Putnam County, FL? Yes, most EV charger installations require an electrical permit, and the work must be performed by a licensed electrical contractor.
