Careful electrical work for Mount Dora’s historic homes, lakefront properties and newer neighborhoods.
Mount Dora sits on a plateau about 184 feet above sea level overlooking Lake Dora, and its downtown was laid out in a town plan dating to 1884. The Mount Dora Historic District, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2009, covers about 210 acres and some 62 blocks, and the vast majority of its historic buildings are homes, from vernacular cottages and bungalows to landmarks like the 1893 Queen Anne-style Donnelly House.
Historic homes are wonderful to live in and demanding to wire. Many have been updated piecemeal over a century, and we often find old circuits, add-ons and ungrounded wiring behind the walls. We modernize carefully, keep visible changes to a minimum, and help you check with the city before exterior work, since renovations in the historic district can require city review.
Outside the historic core, Mount Dora also has newer neighborhoods and active-adult communities, and we serve those too, always with flat, upfront pricing.

What Mount Dora homeowners ask us for most, each with flat, upfront pricing.
We trace problems in older wiring, correct unsafe add-ons, add grounding and GFCI protection, and rewire where needed, with as little disruption to plaster, trim and finishes as we can manage.
Electrical Repair & Troubleshooting ›Historic and mid-century homes often have panels too small for modern AC, kitchens and EVs. We upgrade panels and service, and we help you plan meter and equipment locations that work for historic-district review.
Electrical Panel Upgrades ›Period-appropriate porch and exterior lighting, interior fixture upgrades, and landscape lighting for lakefront and garden homes.
Lighting Installation ›Fans installed on properly rated boxes, which older ceilings often lack, with safe new wiring where needed.
Ceiling Fan Installation ›A surge protector at the panel helps protect the AC, appliances and electronics throughout your home during storm season.
Whole-Home Surge Protection ›Standby generators with automatic transfer switches, placed and sized with your home and any historic-district requirements in mind.

Yes. The Mount Dora Historic District is mostly homes, many of them a century old. We repair and modernize older wiring, add grounding and GFCI protection, and upgrade panels with as little visible change as possible.
Interior electrical work needs a permit like anywhere else. Exterior changes in the historic district, such as moving a meter or adding a generator, can require city review. We can help you check with the city before we plan the work.
We cannot say for any one house without looking, but very old wiring methods can still turn up in century-old homes. We inspect, explain what we find, and give you a flat price to replace anything unsafe.
It depends on the job. We use flat, upfront pricing, so you see the exact price before any work begins. Members of our R. Howe Home Membership pay less on every service.
