Safety inspections are required by JEA when the power of a residence/property has been off for over a year. As for Commercial properties for over 6 months.

Rewires are required mainly for houses built before 1950 and sometimes after. Cloth wire and knob and tube wiring are types of wiring that home owner insurance policies will not cover and pose fire hazards as well. Cloth sheathed wiring was used in the 50’s and 60’s and mostly were 2-wire systems that didn’t have a ground wire.

Service upgrades are required usually when you have an older house that might have the original 100 AMP service and your house electrical needs have outgrown the service you have. 

Brands Like Sylvania, Challenger, Federal pacific, Pusha Matics(Connecticut Electric) Bulldog, Fused panels, Zinsco, Trumbull, Wadsworth. The list continues to grow each year in the state of Florida. Also, the residence may need more breakers spaces. You cannot replace panel for one with higher amps than the size of the service cable that is existing. Higher amps mean’s you need a service upgrade.

This type of cable was used during this time for lighting, switches and receptacles. The problem with it is the single strand wire (smaller gauge) was wrapped around terminal screws on switches and receptacles and it has a tendency to become loose.

Which in turn creates heating and melting with potential of starting a fire. This is why the Florida homeowner insurance companies usually won’t insure.
