Electrical service for Tavares homes on Lake Dora, Lake Eustis and Lake Harris, from downtown to the edges of town.
Tavares has been the county seat of Lake County since 1887, and it calls itself America’s Seaplane City for the public seaplane base on Lake Dora at Wooton Park. The city sits between Lake Eustis to the north and Lake Dora to the south, with Lake Harris nearby and the Dora Canal linking Dora and Eustis, so a lot of Tavares life happens on or near the water.
Homes here range from older houses near downtown to lakefront streets and newer subdivisions and 55-plus communities on the edges of town. That means the electrical work ranges too: panel and wiring updates in older homes, outdoor and dock power for lakefront properties, and EV chargers and surge protection in newer ones.
