Dania Beach is a small city with a little of everything packed into it: older single family homes, condos near the water, and a stretch of shops and service businesses along Federal Highway and Dania Beach Boulevard. Electrical work here is rarely one size fits all.
Chanay Electric is a licensed, bonded and insured electrician based in Plantation. We do residential work and light commercial jobs, so a Dania Beach homeowner and a shop owner down the street can both call the same team. Typical calls include electrical repair, lighting upgrades, and panels that need more room for modern equipment.
Here is what some of our Broward customers say about working with us.
These are the services Dania Beach homes and businesses ask us about.
In Dania Beach we troubleshoot both houses and storefronts. At home it is often a tripping breaker or a dead circuit. At a small shop it can be a sign, a cooler or a lighting circuit that keeps failing. The approach is the same: test, trace, find the real cause, and give you a straight answer about the fix.
Older Dania Beach homes and small commercial spaces were often wired with smaller panels than today’s equipment needs. If breakers are full, warm or tripping, or you are planning new equipment, a panel upgrade or subpanel may be the right move. We size it to your actual load and handle the permit and inspection.
We install interior and exterior lighting, ceiling fans, outlets and dedicated circuits. For small businesses that can mean brighter work areas, exterior security lighting or a dedicated circuit for a new appliance. For homes near the beach, we use fixtures and covers built for coastal exposure so they last longer in the salt air.
Some homes in Dania Beach are old enough to have original wiring that was never designed for today’s appliances and electronics. If you see scorched outlets, two prong receptacles throughout, or frequent problems, partial or full rewiring may make sense. We start with an honest assessment and only replace what needs replacing.
Being this close to the ocean, Dania Beach gets its share of summer lightning. A whole-house surge protector at the panel helps guard your AC, appliances and electronics. For a small business, it also helps protect registers, refrigeration and computers. It is one of the simplest upgrades we do and it covers every circuit in the building.
From a beach-side condo to a shop on Federal Highway, Dania Beach buildings deserve wiring that is safe and done right.
We will look at the problem, explain it in plain terms and give you options before we touch anything.

Dania Beach sits between the ocean, the airport and the port, so it has a busier mix of property types than its size suggests. Older ranch homes sit a few blocks from small businesses, marine shops and newer developments like Dania Pointe. That mix is a big reason we like working here, and it is why we take residential and light commercial calls.
For homeowners, the common thread is age and salt. Many houses were built decades ago and have seen several owners add circuits along the way. Close to the beach, outdoor outlets, meter bases and exterior lights take a beating from humid, salty air. We see corroded connections and failed GFCIs regularly, and we replace them with parts suited to the exposure. If you are not sure what condition your system is in, an electrical safety inspection gives you a clear picture.
For small business owners along Federal Highway, Dania Beach Boulevard and Griffin Road, the needs are different: reliable lighting, enough circuits for equipment, and protection from surges that can take down registers and refrigeration. We schedule around your hours as best we can and keep the work tidy. Adding surge protection at the panel is a small job that protects a lot. It is also worth asking about during hurricane season, when outages and restored power can be rough on equipment.
We serve all of Dania Beach, including:
Yes. Along with residential work we take light commercial jobs, such as lighting upgrades, new circuits for equipment, panel work and troubleshooting for small shops and offices. Tell us what you need when you call and we will let you know if it fits what we do.
Salt air corrodes sockets, wire connections and fixture housings, and moisture gets into anything that is not sealed well. We replace failed fixtures with ones rated for wet and coastal locations, check the wiring and connections behind them, and make sure the circuit has proper GFCI protection where required.
Warning signs include a full panel with no open spaces, breakers that trip often, warm breakers, flickering lights, or plans to add a big load like an EV charger or a new AC. An older panel brand can also be a concern for insurance. We inspect and give you a clear recommendation.
We work Monday through Saturday, 8am to 5pm, and we are closed Sunday. If something urgent comes up, call us at (754) 799-4371 and ask. If you smell burning or see sparks, turn off the breaker if it is safe to do so and call 911 first.
Usually, yes. The key is the box in the ceiling. A light fixture box is often not rated to hold a fan, so we replace it with a fan rated box and secure it properly. If you also want separate control of the fan and the light, we can add a switch or a remote.
