Historic bungalows, post-war ranches and newer suburbs, with wells and septic still in use inside the city limits.
1970s and 1980s subdivisions now past their first replacement cycle, sitting under a heavy oak canopy.
Fast-growing southern Hillsborough, where new subdivisions sit beside older homes and the Alafia keeps the water table high.
Semi-rural east Hillsborough with acre-plus parcels, equestrian properties and private well and septic throughout.
Historic downtown, large agricultural parcels, and sharply varying soils between the sand ridges and the clay flats.

Older Tampa Bay homes were wired for far less load than they carry today. PUKTA Electric evaluates the service, the panel and the branch circuits together, then documents the work so it clears inspection.
We work across Tampa, Brandon, Riverview, Valrico, Plant City, Lutz, Land O' Lakes, Wesley Chapel, Odessa, Zephyrhills and Lakeland, covering Hillsborough, Pasco and Polk County. Call (813) 363-6303 with the property address and we will confirm coverage and availability.
A 60 or 100 amp service in a house with modern loads, a full panel with no spare spaces, a fuse box, or a recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel all point toward replacement. A load calculation settles it properly rather than relying on guesswork.
It depends on the light output of the fixtures, the ceiling height and what the room is used for. A uniform grid usually lights the middle of the floor and leaves the edges dark. Positioning relative to furniture and work surfaces produces a better result than a fixed formula.
No. A standard light box is rated for a static fixture and will not carry the weight and vibration of a fan. A fan-rated braced box is required. This is one of the more common unsafe shortcuts found during inspections.
Call (813) 363-6303 or email electric@pukta.com and describe what the property is doing. We will tell you whether it needs a visit, what the work likely involves, and how soon we can get there. If the scope needs a permit, we handle the application and the inspections.
