Water Heater & Pump Power Installation
Installed dedicated GFCI-protected power for outdoor pump and a dedicated circuit for new water heater. Added new breakers in panel and verified proper voltage.
Job in St. Augustine Beach
The insurance inspection report indicated that circuits in the panel were made of cloth. However, upon inspection of the panel, it was discovered that all the wires in the panel were thermoplastic. The wire in question was thermoplastic with a cloth jacket on the outside, which is not a concern as the thermoplastic jacketing material is acceptable.
Breaker Panel Upgrade & GFCI Protection Installation
To improve accessibility and maintain code-compliant protection, we removed the existing dual-function breakers from the exterior electrical panel, as the panel is not readily accessible for resetting. We installed six GFCI receptacles to provide ground-fault protection for the four bathrooms and the microwave circuit. Finally, we installed two new 20-amp standard breakers in the electrical panel and tested all circuits to verify safe and reliable operation.
GFCI Installation
The home lacked essential GFCI protection in key areas, creating a safety concern for a short-term rental. We installed GFCI outlets in the kitchen for the microwave and in all four bathrooms, ensuring enhanced electrical safety and compliance with standards.

Rider Electric was recommended to us by the person who did our home inspection. This was an excellent choice. Eric and Dylan were thorough and took time to answer all our questions and explain things about our electrical system. I highly recommend them. We will definitely contact them if we have any work that needs to be done in the future.
