Pembroke Pines is one of the biggest cities in Broward, and the houses change a lot as you drive west on Pines Boulevard. The east end has older homes from the 1960s and 1970s. The middle and west are full of gated HOA communities and 55 plus neighborhoods built in later decades. Chanay Electric works across all of it.
We are based in Plantation and handle electrical repairs, panel replacements, ceiling fans, lighting upgrades and EV charger installs throughout Pembroke Pines. Whatever the age of your home, we look at what is actually in the walls and give you an honest recommendation.

These are the most requested services from Pembroke Pines homeowners.
A dead circuit in an east Pembroke Pines home from the 1960s is a different problem than one in a western community built in the 2000s. Older homes tend to have worn breakers and tired splices. Newer homes more often have a tripped AFCI or GFCI tucked in a garage. We know where to look first, which saves time.
Some older Pembroke Pines houses still have panel brands that are widely known for breakers that may not trip when they should, like Federal Pacific and Zinsco. If you have one, replacing it is worth putting at the top of the list. We also upgrade undersized panels in newer homes that have added pools and EVs.
We install ceiling fans in bedrooms and covered patios, LED lighting upgrades, motion lights for driveways, dedicated circuits for kitchen and laundry upgrades, and Level 2 EV chargers. In gated communities we schedule with the guard gate and follow any HOA rules on exterior fixtures so the job goes smoothly.
Original wiring in east Pembroke Pines homes is now 50 or more years old in many cases. Insulation gets brittle, connections loosen and grounding may be missing. We rewire one area at a time or the whole house, keeping wall openings small and putting everything back so it looks right when we leave.
Pembroke Pines gets the same afternoon thunderstorms as the rest of Broward, and lightning damage is one of the most common reasons people replace an AC board or a TV here. A whole house surge protector at the panel guards everything at once. We recommend it with any panel upgrade and as a standalone install.

Pembroke Pines grew from east to west over several decades, and you can almost read the age of a house by how close it is to I 75. East of Flamingo Road, many homes date to the 1960s through the 1980s, and that is where we do most of our panel replacements and rewiring. The wiring was fine for its time but was not built for central air, a modern kitchen and a houseful of electronics.
Further west, communities like Silver Lakes and Chapel Trail are newer, mostly built in the 1990s and 2000s. Those homes generally have better wiring, but panels are filling up and the first round of original fixtures, GFCIs and smoke detector circuits is wearing out. HOAs here often have rules about exterior lighting and work hours, and we plan around them. Garage conversions and enclosed patios are common in east Pembroke Pines too, and the wiring in those spaces is often the weakest part of the house. We regularly find extended circuits, missing GFCI protection and outlets fed from far across the home. Correcting those spaces is usually quick and makes a noticeable difference.
Pembroke Pines also has large 55 plus communities, including Century Village. For residents there, we focus on safety and ease: brighter lighting, reachable switches, dependable smoke detector circuits and a clear safety inspection so nothing is left to guesswork. Across every part of town, hurricane season is a fact of life. Pembroke Pines areas we serve include:
These panels are widely known for breakers that may fail to trip during an overload or short. Many insurers also ask about them. If your Pembroke Pines home has one, we recommend replacement. We pull the permit, swap the panel, move your circuits over and schedule the city inspection.
Yes. We work in gated communities across Pembroke Pines regularly. Let the guard gate or your HOA know we are coming, and tell us about any rules on work hours or vehicle parking. We follow them so the job is easy on you and your neighbors.
Brighter LED lighting in halls and baths, lighted switches, motion activated lights at entries, outlets placed higher on the wall, and working smoke detectors are the big ones. GFCI protection in wet areas also matters. We can walk the home and suggest what makes sense.
Warning signs include flickering lights, warm outlets or plates, frequent breaker trips, two prong outlets, and a burning smell. Homes from the 1960s and 1970s are the most likely candidates. A safety inspection tells you whether you need a full rewire or just a few circuits.
We are based in Plantation, a short drive up the turnpike or I 75. We serve all of Pembroke Pines, Monday through Saturday, 8am to 5pm. Call (754) 799-4371 to schedule, or ask about urgent help if something cannot wait. We will be straight with you about timing.
