Older, established and close to the coast

Bayonet Point has about 23,800 residents on 5.7 square miles of land (Census ACS 2020–2024; 2024 Census Gazetteer). The median home was built in 1979, about 1% of homes were built since 2010, and about 72% are owner-occupied. Many homes are original block or frame ranches, which means aging panels, old outdoor wiring and services that weren’t designed for today’s loads.

Original wiring off US 19

About 54.0% of Bayonet Point homes went up before 1980, which is why we bring a thermal camera and a tester to every older-home visit. Warm breakers, loose neutrals and overloaded circuits don’t always show on the surface. If something needs attention, we explain what we found, why it matters and what it would take to fix, and we quote it in writing. If the system checks out, we tell you that too.

Bayonet Point park homes

With roughly 7.4% of homes in Bayonet Point being manufactured housing, we see plenty of outdoor service pedestals that are rusted, cracked or undersized. Replacing one is permitted work and usually involves coordinating with the utility. We handle the permit and the coordination and leave the feeder and panel inside the home properly protected.

Aging service equipment

With more than half of Bayonet Point’s homes built before 1980, the meter base, service cable and panel are often original. We check the whole service, not just the panel, and explain what needs replacing and why. We pull the permit, handle the inspection and coordinate the utility disconnect.

Hurricane prep for Bayonet Point homes

Bayonet Point takes in about 5.7 square miles of land (Census Gazetteer). Electric heat is the norm, at about 96% of homes (Census B25040). Plan which circuits matter most in an outage and wire a safe generator connection for them. Your zone depends on your exact address; the Pasco County Evac Finder will tell you. About 7% of homes are mobile or manufactured, and Florida’s Know Your Zone, Know Your Home guidance treats those homes as among the most likely to be evacuated in a storm, whatever the zone. After a storm, keep any flooded panel, outlet or meter off until it’s checked; see our flooded electrical guide.

Eave lighting in Bayonet Point

With permanent eave lighting, a Bayonet Point home gets year-round accent light and holiday color without ladders. We install it under the soffit and along the gables under the overhang, and run the garage gable up and down. The controller plugs into an existing garage outlet. We can set up separate front and back zones as an option.

Simple, durable installs: the track sits under the overhang where it’s protected, and the controller goes indoors in the garage. We test the outlet first and add GFCI protection if needed.

Whether you call it permanent holiday lighting or soffit lighting, it stays up all year. See how it works on our JellyFish Lighting page, compare options on permanent lighting, or read about JellyFish in Pasco County. You can also get a free design preview of your home.

Planning around the drive

Three utilities serve different parts of Pasco (your utility). We confirm yours from the bill and arrange any disconnect or reconnect with them. We book Bayonet Point jobs on set days and group nearby visits. No emergency service this far north.

Our labor is warrantied for 2 years (5 years on a Member Care Plan), and JellyFish parts carry their own 5-year warranty. Ask about Acorn Finance; approval depends on credit.

Bayonet Point questions

Do you serve Bayonet Point? Yes, for planned work like panels, service upgrades, generators, surge protection and permanent lighting, by appointment.

Should I add a generator inlet? If you have a portable generator, an inlet with an interlock is the safe way to power your circuits. We install it with a permit.

Can you light only the front of the house? Yes. Many people start with the front, and we can add the back later as its own zone.

Will the lights hold up to storms? The track is mounted under the overhang, which protects it. In a major storm, damage depends on what happens to the roof and fascia.

Is the housing in Bayonet Point old? Mostly pre-1980 (54%, Census), median 1979. Expect us to look closely at the panel and grounding first.

I rent in Bayonet Point. Can you still help? Yes. Roughly 28% of Bayonet Point households rent. For repairs we can start right away; for a panel or charger, the owner signs off.

Can you help with a mobile home in Bayonet Point? Yes. About 7% of homes here are mobile or manufactured (Census ACS). We work on their panels and meter pedestals and check community rules first.
