We replaced the entire 400-amp service equipment at a commercial property on Fort Myers Beach after Hurricane Ian: every panel, circuit and disconnect had been submerged, and every piece had to go. We swapped it like for like for new Square D equipment and restored power. The service was an older three-phase, four-wire delta with a high leg, so the new gear had to match it.
The Town of Fort Myers Beach runs its own Building Services Division within Community Development, separate from Lee County. The Town applies the FEMA 50 percent rule in plan review, which can matter when electrical work is part of a larger repair or improvement.
Many property owners on Fort Myers Beach, especially commercial owners, are still recovering because of the cost and the restrictions involved in replacing equipment. Like-for-like replacement is what let this property’s service come back. Read the full 400-amp service replacement for the before and after photos.
The same careful approach applies at house scale: confirm the service size, the meter equipment and the grounding, pull the permit through the Town, and schedule the inspection through its private provider. If your mailing address says Fort Myers Beach but the parcel is unincorporated, Lee County permits the work instead, and we check which before applying.
The paperwork is the same: a permit through the Town’s portal and inspections by its private provider. What differs is the scope. When repairs and improvements together approach half the building’s value, the Town applies the FEMA 50 percent rule in plan review, so we ask early how the electrical work fits into the overall permit.
Flood-damaged commercial service equipment replaced like for like with new Square D panels and disconnects.
