A big share of Lauderhill living happens in condos, villas and townhomes, many of them built in the 1970s. These units come with their own electrical puzzle. Your unit has its own panel, the building has its own systems, and the association has rules about who can touch what.
Chanay Electric is a licensed, bonded and insured electrician based in nearby Plantation. We help Lauderhill owners with electrical repairs inside their units, ceiling fan installs, outlet and switch updates and panel replacements. We also work on single family homes throughout the city, and we can provide our license and insurance to your association when they ask for it.
Here is what a few of our Broward customers have to say.
These are the services Lauderhill condo and home owners use most.
In a Lauderhill condo, the first question is whether the problem is inside your unit or in the building’s wiring. A dead outlet, a tripped breaker or lights that flicker in one room are usually yours to fix. Problems that affect several units or the hallway point to the building. We test, figure out which it is, and tell you who should handle it.
Units built in the 1970s often still have their original panels, and some of those panel brands raise concerns with insurers. If your breakers trip often, feel warm, or your insurance company has flagged the panel, we can replace it with a modern one. We coordinate any needed power shutoff with your association and pull the permit.
Ceiling fans are one of the most requested jobs in Lauderhill. Many older units have only a light box in the ceiling, and we replace it with a fan rated box so the fan is secure. We also install new light fixtures, outlets, USB outlets, dimmers and dedicated circuits for appliances like a new range or washer.
Full rewiring in a condo is less common, but partial rewiring comes up during kitchen and bath remodels. If you are updating, we can replace old circuits, add GFCI protection where the code calls for it, and add circuits so the kitchen can run several appliances at once. For single family homes, we assess and rewire as needed.
Lauderhill sees plenty of summer lightning, and surges can travel through the building’s wiring into your unit. A surge protector installed at your unit’s panel helps protect your AC, refrigerator and electronics. In a single family home, a whole-house surge protector does the same at the main panel. Both are straightforward installs.
Condo, townhome or house, your Lauderhill home should have wiring you can trust. We are happy to answer questions before you book, including what your association may ask for.

Lauderhill grew up quickly in the 1960s and 1970s, and much of that growth was condominiums, garden apartments, villas and golf course communities like Inverrary. Many of those buildings are now about fifty years old. The original wiring in them was fine for its time, but owners today run more appliances, more electronics and often a second refrigerator or a home office. That puts real strain on unit panels that were never sized for it.
Working in a condo means working with the association. Most require a licensed and insured electrician, many want a scope of work in advance, and some limit when power can be shut off. We are used to this. We give you the documents your management office asks for, keep the hallway and elevator clean, and keep shutoffs short. We will also tell you plainly when a problem belongs to the building rather than your unit, so you are not paying for something the association should fix.
Lauderhill also has plenty of single family homes and townhomes, where the work looks more like the rest of Broward: panel upgrades, new circuits, outdoor lighting and surge protection for hurricane season and summer storms. Townhome owners often fall somewhere in between, with their own panel but shared walls and HOA rules on exterior lighting, so we check those rules with you before we start.
Areas we serve in Lauderhill include:
Usually, wiring from your unit's panel to your outlets and fixtures is yours, and the building's main feeders and common areas belong to the association. Your condo documents have the final say. We test the problem and tell you where it starts, so you know who should handle the repair.
Yes. Most older units have a light fixture box that is not rated for a fan, so we replace it with a fan rated box and mount it securely. In concrete ceilings this takes a bit more work, but it is very doable. We also add a wall control or remote if you want one.
Yes. Some older panel brands found in 1970s buildings are flagged by insurers. We replace the panel with a modern one, pull the permit and get the inspection, then provide the paperwork you need for your insurance company. For condos, we coordinate the shutoff with your association.
Most associations ask for proof of license and insurance, and some want a description of the work and the dates. Some also have rules about work hours and power shutoffs. We provide what they need and follow their rules, so your project gets approved without extra back and forth.
Usually, if your unit's panel has space and capacity. New ranges, washers, dryers and some microwaves need their own circuit. We check the panel, run the new circuit and pull the permit when required. If the panel is full, we explain your options, including a panel replacement.
