Electrical Systems Designed for Long-Term Performance
Master-level expertise for every commercial and residential upgrade
R.E. Yates Electric Inc. is a master-licensed electrical contracting firm established in 1988, bringing 38 years of industry experience and serving Lake County and surrounding areas since 2015. The company operates as a union shop with a seasoned team trained to deliver code-compliant work on every installation, from panel modernization in older homes to complex distribution systems for expanding retail and hospitality projects. Permit handling included, so you don't chase inspectors or navigate municipal code alone.
Central Florida's older housing stock often requires panel upgrades to support modern appliances, whole-home surge protection against frequent thunderstorms, and EV charging circuits rated for high power draw. On the commercial side, restaurant and retail operators need robust distribution systems that power kitchen equipment, HVAC, and digital signage without nuisance trips or voltage sag. You're looking for electrical infrastructure that scales with your operation and passes inspection the first time.
R.E. Yates manages the entire workflow—design, permitting, installation, and final inspection—so you receive documentation proving your system meets National Electrical Code and local amendments. Free estimates help you plan budgets and timelines before committing to a project.

What a Code-Certified Electrical Project Entails
Every job begins with a site assessment where the team reviews existing service capacity, panel condition, and load requirements. R.E. Yates pulls permits, schedules inspections with the authority having jurisdiction, and coordinates shutdowns to minimize downtime for commercial clients. OEM-grade components—breakers, conductors, and protective devices—are specified to match the calculated demand and environmental conditions of the installation.
You'll know the timeline, the required access points, and the testing procedures before work begins. Transparency in scheduling and clear explanations of code requirements mean fewer surprises during the inspection phase.
The scope includes services that keep your facility running and legally compliant:

John and team are amazing! They work on multiple projects for our company. They can wire just about anything from an ancient boiler to a custom light fixture. They stepped up and worked 16 hours one day at a restaurant to get fire suppression system operable to pass fire safety test with city and get permits. They always do a great job and whatever it takes to make customers happy.

Master-Licensed Expertise and Union Craftsmanship
R.E. Yates Electric Inc. is staffed by union-trained electricians who work under a master-licensed contractor, ensuring every crew member meets rigorous training standards and follows safe work practices. That structure means consistent quality across installations—whether you're upgrading a single-family panel or wiring a multi-unit commercial kitchen. The company has served Tavares and surrounding areas for nearly four decades, building familiarity with local inspection protocols and utility interconnection requirements.
Accountability shows up in documentation: you receive as-built drawings, test reports, and permit sign-off that prove your system was installed to code and inspected by the municipality. When future service or expansion is needed, that paper trail saves time and removes guesswork for the next contractor or building official.
