When something goes wrong with your wiring, you need a local electrician who can get there fast. MJM Electrical Service has been handling residential and commercial electrical work in Melbourne and across Brevard County since 2006. Whether you need a same-day electrician for an urgent repair, a licensed professional to upgrade your panel, or a reliable contractor for a full rewiring project, we are ready to help. We serve homeowners, landlords, property managers, and businesses throughout the area, and we keep same-day and after-hours appointments available for jobs that cannot wait.
Residential wiring. Commercial wiring. One number for both.

Flickering lights, dead outlets, and breakers that keep tripping are some of the most common calls we receive. These problems often point to something specific: a loose connection, a failing breaker, an overloaded circuit, or wiring that has worn down over time. When you call us out for a repair, we start with a diagnostic to find the source of the problem before any work begins.
We check circuits, connections, and the panel. If your outlets are unresponsive or your lights are dimming at random, we trace the issue back to its origin and give you a clear explanation of what is going on. We also look at GFCI and AFCI protection during diagnostic visits, since outdated or missing protection is a common code issue that turns up during routine troubleshooting.
We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test.
Adding outlets to a room, replacing a worn switch, or upgrading to GFCI protection are straightforward jobs that make a real difference in how a space functions. We handle outlet installation and GFCI outlet installation for kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas where code requires ground-fault protection. We also install dimmer switches, replace light switches, and add outlets where a room simply does not have enough.
For commercial spaces, the same work applies. Offices, retail locations, and rental units often need additional outlets or updated switch configurations as layouts change. All outlet and switch work is done to current code, with proper wiring methods and materials throughout.
One call brings an electrician to your door.
Not every electrician works the same way, and panel work is where that difference shows. A 200-amp panel upgrade is not just swapping hardware. It involves a load calculation, coordination with the utility if the service entrance needs to come up, and making sure every circuit feeding your home or building is properly sized and protected.
Older panels are a common issue in Florida homes built before the 1990s. Fuse boxes, undersized 100-amp services, and panels that have run out of breaker slots all show up regularly in Melbourne. We handle main panel replacements, service entrance upgrades, and subpanel installation for additions, detached garages, and outbuildings. When your panel is the limiting factor, upgrading it opens the door to dedicated circuits, EV chargers, and anything else that needs reliable capacity.
Reach out and we will start at the panel.
Whole-home rewiring comes up for a few reasons: knob-and-tube wiring that is decades past its useful life, aluminum branch-circuit wiring that poses a fire risk at connections, or a home addition that requires new circuits throughout. We handle all of it, from rewiring a single room to a full house.
The process starts with an assessment of what is in the walls and what needs to change. We work through attics, crawl spaces, and finished walls to run new wiring with as little disruption as possible. Grounding and bonding are addressed as part of every rewiring job, and we install arc-fault and ground-fault breakers where code requires them. This is the kind of electrical work neighbors pass along by word of mouth, and we take the quality of it seriously.
Refrigerators, dryers, microwaves, dishwashers, and similar appliances each need a dedicated circuit to run safely without tripping breakers or starving other circuits of power. We install dedicated circuits for all standard household appliances, and we size each circuit to match the load.
The same applies on the power-supply side for EV chargers and heating or cooling equipment. When a new unit is going in, it needs a properly sized dedicated circuit and, in many cases, a panel with enough capacity to carry the additional load. We handle the circuit and the panel work. We show up ready to work.
Calling an electrician does not have to be stressful, especially for work like this. Recessed lighting, under-cabinet lighting, ceiling fan installation, and light fixture replacement are some of the most common projects we handle for homeowners and property managers alike.
We install and replace ceiling fans with or without existing wiring in place. We wire bathroom exhaust fans, install smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, and run new circuits for LED lighting upgrades. Outdoor lighting is part of this too: porch fixtures, soffit lights, and pathway lighting all get the same attention to weatherproofing and proper grounding as any indoor job.
Exterior electrical work has to hold up to Florida's heat, humidity, and rain. We install weatherproof outlets, security lights, motion sensor lights, and landscape lighting using materials rated for outdoor exposure. Garages are a frequent request as well, whether that is adding a dedicated outlet, running new circuits, or upgrading the lighting inside.
Every outdoor installation gets proper grounding and bonding, and every outlet in a wet or damp location gets GFCI protection. Getting this right the first time matters more outdoors than anywhere else. We will make your wiring safe again.
Living and working on the Space Coast means dealing with conditions that push electrical systems harder than most. Hurricane season runs from June through November, and Brevard County sits in one of the most lightning-active corridors in the country. Year-round heat puts a steady load on air-conditioning circuits. Backyard pools are a fixture of life here, not an occasional luxury. The three services below come up constantly in this area, and we are set up to handle all of them.
A storm can knock out power for hours or days. For Melbourne homeowners and businesses that cannot afford that kind of disruption, a whole-home standby generator is a practical investment, not an extravagance. We handle the electrical side from start to finish: transfer switch installation, panel connection, dedicated circuit, and coordination with the utility for the service hookup. We treat your home and its wiring the way we would our own, and generator work is no exception. Whether you are connecting a portable generator or installing a permanent standby unit, we make sure the hookup is safe, code-compliant, and ready before the next storm arrives.
Florida leads the country in lightning strikes, and Brevard County is squarely in that zone. A single nearby strike can send a surge through your panel that damages appliances, electronics, and the panel itself. Whole-home surge protection installed at the panel is the most effective defense available, catching surges before they reach your circuits. We install whole-home surge protectors and point-of-use protection where it makes sense, giving your home a layered defense against the kind of voltage spikes this area sees regularly.
We show up ready to work.
No matter what is going wrong with your wiring, pool and spa circuits are where code compliance and proper grounding matter most. Florida's year-round pool season means this work is in constant demand, and the consequences of cutting corners near water are serious. We install dedicated circuits for pool pumps, spa heaters, and underwater lighting, with GFCI protection on every outlet and piece of equipment that requires it. Bonding is handled to current NEC standards, which is not optional in a wet environment. If you are adding a pool, replacing equipment, or upgrading an older installation, we handle the wiring from the panel out.
We handle the full range of customers in Melbourne and across Brevard County. Homeowners call us for kitchen and bathroom electrical work, panel upgrades, and repairs. Property managers and landlords call for safety inspections, outlet replacements, and wiring issues in rental units. Businesses call for commercial panel upgrades, commercial wiring, and office or retail electrical work. Restaurants and warehouses have their own demands, and we are familiar with the load requirements those spaces involve.
Residential wiring. Commercial wiring. One number for both.
The same licensed electricians who handle a homeowner's breaker repair also handle a commercial tenant buildout. We keep the same standards on every job, regardless of size. This is work performed by licensed electricians who know what they are doing and stand behind it.
An electrical inspection gives you a clear picture of what is in your walls and whether it is safe. Buyers and sellers use them before a real estate transaction. Landlords use them to confirm rental units meet code. Homeowners with older wiring use them to find out what needs attention before a problem develops.
We walk through the panel, the branch circuits, the outlets, and the visible wiring. If we find issues, we explain what they are and what the options look like. An inspection often leads naturally into a conversation about panel upgrades or rewiring when the wiring is old enough to warrant it. Reach out and we will start at the panel.
Ready to get the power sorted? A Level 2 EV charger installation is one of the more common requests we get from homeowners who have recently switched to an electric vehicle. The electrical side involves three things: a panel capacity review to confirm your service can carry the additional load, a dedicated 240-volt circuit run to the garage, and a properly installed outlet or hardwired connection for the charger itself.
We handle all of it. If your panel needs room for the new circuit, we address that as part of the project. The result is a safe, code-compliant charging setup that works every time you plug in.
Electrician pricing depends on what the job actually involves, and we do not believe in quoting a number before we know what we are looking at. When you call, we talk through what you are seeing and what you need. When we arrive, we assess the work and give you a clear estimate before anything gets started. You know what you are paying for and why.
We pick up the phone and get it handled. That is how this works from the first call to the last test. Factors that affect the final cost include the size of the job, the condition of existing wiring, whether the panel needs attention, and what materials the work requires. There are no surprises after the fact.
One call brings an electrician to your door.

Call (321) 599-3556 and tell us what you are seeing. We will ask a few questions to understand the situation, give you a sense of what is involved, and get you on the schedule. The whole process takes a few minutes.
We confirm your appointment, give you a window for arrival, and show up with the tools and materials for the job. When we arrive, we assess the work and give you a clear estimate before anything gets started. You know what the job involves and what it costs before we begin.
It helps to have a basic description of what you are seeing: which outlets or circuits are affected, whether the breaker has tripped, and how long the problem has been happening. You do not need to diagnose the issue yourself. That is our job once we arrive.
Check your breaker panel first to see if a breaker has tripped. If resetting it does not restore power, or if the breaker trips again immediately, stop and call us. A partial power loss can point to a tripped main breaker, a failing breaker, or a utility issue, and some of those situations need a licensed electrician to assess safely.
Yes. We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, small businesses, retail spaces, and office buildings throughout Brevard County. The same licensed electricians who handle a homeowner's panel upgrade also handle commercial wiring and tenant improvements.
Yes. Property managers and landlords are a regular part of our customer base. If you manage multiple properties in the Melbourne area, we can serve as your single point of contact for electrical repairs and upgrades across all of them.
We give you a clear estimate before any work begins. If something comes up during the job that changes the scope, we tell you before we proceed. There are no surprises at the end of the visit.
For most residential work, yes. We need access to the panel, the affected circuits, and the areas where work will be performed. For commercial or rental properties, a property manager or authorized representative can be present in place of the owner.
Electrical costs depend on what the job actually involves. A panel upgrade cost depends on the size of the panel and the condition of the existing service entrance. A repair call depends on what the fault turns out to be. We give you a straight estimate based on the real scope of your project, not a vague range.

How do I know if my panel needs an upgrade?
Common signs include breakers that trip frequently, a fuse box instead of a breaker panel, a 100-amp service in a home with modern appliances, or no room to add new circuits. If you are planning to add an EV charger, a generator hookup, or a major appliance, a load calculation will tell you whether your current service can carry it. Call us and we will talk through what you are seeing before scheduling anything.
What causes a breaker to trip repeatedly?
A breaker that trips over and over is usually telling you something. The circuit may be overloaded, there may be a short or ground fault in the wiring, or the breaker itself may be failing. In some cases, the load on the circuit has simply grown beyond what it was designed to carry. We diagnose the cause before recommending a fix, because replacing the breaker without addressing the underlying issue rarely solves the problem for long.
Is electrical work in Melbourne permitted and inspected?
Most electrical work beyond simple fixture swaps requires a permit and a code inspection in Brevard County. We handle the permit process as part of the job. Inspected work gives you documentation that the installation meets current code, which matters for insurance purposes and when you sell the home.
Work Performed by Licensed Electricians
Every job we take on is handled by licensed electricians who know the code and stand behind their work. From a single outlet repair to a full panel upgrade, the same standard applies.
How do I know if the wiring in my older home is still safe?
Homes built before the 1980s may have knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch-circuit wiring, or inadequate grounding. These are not automatic emergencies, but they do carry risks that modern wiring does not. An electrical safety inspection will tell you what is in your walls, what the actual risk level is, and what, if anything, needs to change.
What are the signs that a home needs rewiring?
Persistent flickering, outlets that feel warm, a burning smell near switches or the panel, breakers that trip without obvious cause, and two-prong outlets throughout the house are all reasons to have the wiring assessed. Age alone is not always the deciding factor, but wiring from the 1960s and earlier deserves a close look, especially in a climate like Brevard County's where heat and humidity accelerate wear.
What does a whole-home generator hookup involve?
The electrical side of a generator installation includes a transfer switch, a connection to your main panel, and a dedicated circuit sized for the generator's output. For permanent standby units, we coordinate with the utility for the service connection. The transfer switch is the critical piece: it isolates your home from the utility grid when the generator is running, which is required for safety and for compliance with utility rules.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
We keep same-day appointments available for repairs and urgent work, and we take after-hours and weekend calls when the job cannot wait. If you have a problem that needs attention today, call us and we will do our best to get someone to you.
Do I need to be home when the electrician comes?
For most residential work, yes. We need access to the panel, the affected circuits, and the areas where the work will be performed. For rental properties or commercial locations, a property manager or authorized representative can be present in place of the owner. Just let us know the situation when you call and we will make sure the visit is set up correctly.
What should I do about outlets that feel warm or make a buzzing sound?
Warm or buzzing outlets are worth taking seriously. A warm outlet can indicate a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or wiring that is arcing inside the wall. These conditions can lead to a fire if left unaddressed. Turn off the circuit at the panel if you are concerned and call us. This is not a situation to watch and wait on.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We give you a clear estimate before any work begins, based on the actual scope of your project. If anything changes, we tell you before we move forward.
How does surge protection work, and do I really need it in Melbourne?
A whole-home surge protector installs at your main panel and catches voltage spikes before they reach your circuits and appliances. Brevard County sits in one of the most lightning-active regions in the country, and a single nearby strike can send a surge through your panel that damages electronics, appliances, and the panel itself. Whole-home protection is the most effective defense available, and point-of-use protection at sensitive equipment adds a second layer.
What is required to install a Level 2 EV charger at home?
A Level 2 charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, similar to a dryer or range. We start with a panel review to confirm your service has the capacity for the additional load. If the panel is at or near capacity, we address that as part of the project. The result is a safe, code-compliant charging setup installed in your garage with the correct outlet or hardwired connection for your charger model.
How do estimates and pricing work?
Electrical costs depend on what the job actually involves, and we do not quote a number before we know what we are looking at. When you call, we talk through what you are seeing. When we arrive, we assess the work and give you a clear estimate before anything gets started. If something comes up during the job that changes the scope, we tell you before we proceed. You know what the work involves and what it costs before we begin.
Every electrical situation is a little different, and the best way to get a straight answer is to call us directly. We will ask a few questions, give you a sense of what is involved, and get you on the schedule.
