Davie is not like the rest of Broward. You can drive past a horse barn, a college campus and a brand new subdivision in the same ten minutes, and each one needs a different kind of electrical work. Chanay Electric is based next door in Plantation, so Davie is part of our regular route.
We recently installed a high voltage GM fast charger at a home in Davie, and that job is a good example of what this town asks for: real power, run safely, done to code. We also handle electrical repair, lighting for long driveways and paddocks, and service upgrades for properties that keep adding outbuildings.
Davie customers share how their projects went.
Here is the work Davie homeowners and property owners call us for most.
On a Davie property with a barn or detached shop, a problem in one building can show up somewhere else. A tripping GFCI in the barn might be a wet buried feeder, a chewed wire or a fan motor going bad. We test each run between buildings, check the subpanels and fix the real fault so your animals and tools have reliable power.
Older Davie homes on larger lots often started with a modest panel, then picked up a barn, a well pump, a shop and a pool over the years. That adds up. We do a load calculation, upgrade the main panel when needed, and add properly fed subpanels in outbuildings so everything is not hanging off one tired breaker.
We recently put in a high voltage GM fast charger at a Davie home, and we install Level 2 EV chargers of all brands. We also wire barn lighting, stall fans, workshop circuits for compressors and welders, and outdoor lighting along driveways and fence lines. Equipment in barns and shops gets damp and dusty, so we use materials rated for it.
A barn or workshop that was wired years ago by a previous owner is one of the most common things we find in Davie. Extension cords stapled to rafters, indoor boxes in wet areas, no GFCI protection. Rewiring an outbuilding properly protects the building, the animals and the people working in it, and it is often a one or two day job.
Open land around Davie means lightning has fewer tall things to choose from, and long buried feeders between buildings can carry a surge right into your shop tools or barn fans. A whole house surge protector at the main panel, plus protection at outbuilding subpanels, gives your equipment a real chance during summer storms.
Whether it is a family home near Nova, a rental by the college, or a ranch property off Orange Drive, we would be glad to take a look. We give you a clear plan and a straight answer on what the property needs before any work begins.
We work Monday through Saturday, 8am to 5pm. Reach out online or call Chanay Electric at (754) 799-4371 to set up a visit.
Davie has worked hard to keep its western, rural feel, and a lot of residents still keep horses or run small operations from home. That means barns, tack rooms, workshops, detached garages, wells and gates. Each one needs power, and on many properties the wiring was added one building at a time. When we visit, we look at the whole property, not just the house, because the weak spot is often a feeder running out to the back acreage.
Davie is also a college town. Nova Southeastern University and the Broward College central campus bring a steady flow of students, staff and rental homes. Landlords call us for quick repairs between tenants, safety inspections, and outlet and switch upgrades that make an older rental safer and easier to rent. Many of these outbuildings sit far from the house, so the feeder between them has to be sized for the distance and buried at the right depth. When a previous owner skipped that, you get dim lights, warm wires and GFCIs that trip whenever it rains. Getting the feeder right fixes most of it.
Newer neighborhoods west of University Drive look more like the rest of suburban Broward, with pools, EV chargers and home offices driving demand. Across all of it, summer lightning and hurricane season are the constant. Good grounding and surge protection are not extras here. Areas of Davie we serve include:
Yes. We run a properly sized feeder from your main panel, install a subpanel in the building, and wire lights, fans and outlets with damp rated materials and GFCI protection. For a workshop we plan circuits around your tools, like compressors or welders. Work like this requires a permit, which we handle.
Yes. We installed a high voltage GM fast charger at a Davie home and we install Level 2 chargers of all major brands. Bigger chargers need a lot of capacity, so we check your service and panel first. If an upgrade is needed, we tell you before the job starts, not halfway through.
We do. Landlords and property managers call us for repairs between tenants, dead outlets, broken fixtures, smoke detector circuits and general safety checks. We can coordinate access with you or your tenant and keep the visit short. Clear, safe wiring also helps cut down on repeat service calls.
Usually it is moisture, a failing motor in a fan or pump, or damage to a buried line between buildings. Resetting it over and over does not fix anything and the GFCI is doing its job. We track down the actual fault and fix it so the protection stays in place and stops nuisance tripping.
We are based in neighboring Plantation, so Davie is close. We work Monday through Saturday, 8am to 5pm. For urgent problems, call (754) 799-4371 and ask what is open that day. We will give you a straight answer on timing rather than a promise we cannot keep.
