Lealman has some of the oldest housing in Pinellas County. The median home dates to 1968, and many still have their first fuse box or panel. That’s why a lot of our late calls from here start with “a fuse keeps blowing,” “the outlet’s warm” or “half the lights went out when the AC kicked on.” Call (727) 476-7079 any hour. We’re about 7 miles away in Seminole, and we’ll give you an honest arrival estimate and our after-hours rate before we dispatch. Licensed electrical contractor EC#13014717.
Call (727) 476-7079. Emergency calls are answered 24/7.
If there’s smoke, fire or a shock injury, call 911. If you can reach the main breaker or main fuse pull from a dry spot, shut it off. Keep clear of wet equipment and downed lines.
Old systems, modern loads
Lealman has about 20,600 residents, and its median home was built in 1968 (Census ACS 2020–2024). Most are 1950s–’70s block houses. Here’s what fails at night, and why:
- Fuse boxes where someone put in a bigger fuse to stop it blowing. That removes the protection for the wire. If you’ve done this, leave the circuit off and call.
- Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels with breakers that may not trip when they should
- Small services never sized for central AC, a modern kitchen and a window unit in every bedroom
- Aluminum branch wiring in some mid-’60s to early-’70s homes, where loose connections overheat at outlets and switches. Warm cover plates or a burning smell with no visible cause are warning signs.
- Meter cans and exterior panels rusted through by decades of humidity
Once it’s safe, we’ll tell you plainly whether a Lealman panel upgrade or rewiring belongs on your list. We’ll quote it later. Nobody has to decide at midnight.
For landlords and property managers
When a tenant reports sparks, no power or a burning smell, you need someone who’ll pick up. With your approval, tenants can call us directly. We make it safe, fix what we can that visit and send you photos, what we found and an itemized quote for anything bigger, so you can decide before more work is done.
Manufactured homes
Lealman has several manufactured-home communities. Service equipment and feeders on these homes follow their own code rules, and your community may have rules too. Tell us when you call and we’ll come prepared.
Shops on 34th Street and 54th Avenue
Auto shops, contractors and light-industrial businesses along 34th Street N and 54th Avenue N lose money every hour a circuit is down. We handle: – Dead or tripping circuits on compressors, lifts, welders and saws – Hot panels or subpanels – Yard, shop and lot lighting that’s out – Storm damage to service equipment
We get you running where we safely can and schedule follow-up shutdowns for nights or weekends. See commercial electrical service.
Storms and outages
- Whole street dark? Report it to Duke Energy in the app or at duke-energy.com. If it’s only your home, call us.
- Mast or meter can torn off? Duke owns the drop and the meter. The mast, weatherhead, meter can and panel are yours. We repair them, file the permit and coordinate the reconnect.
- Flooded equipment stays off until a licensed electrician has checked it. Duke may require repairs and an inspection before reconnecting.
- Generators connect through cords or a listed inlet and interlock, never a backfed dryer outlet. See generator installation and whole-house surge protection.
Permits: Pinellas County
Lealman is unincorporated, even though most addresses say St. Petersburg. Repairs that need a permit go through Pinellas County, and we file them and meet the inspector.
What happens when you call
A person answers, asks what’s happening and whether anyone is at risk, tells you how to stay safe and quotes the after-hours rate. On site, we find the cause, make it safe and fix what we can. Bigger repairs get an itemized quote. Hours: emergency calls 24/7; office 7 AM–5 PM, plus weekend service.
Not urgent?
One dead outlet or a light that won’t come on can usually wait for a regular-rate visit. Book online.
Warranty and financing
Our repairs carry a 3-year workmanship warranty, or 5 years for Member Care Plan members. For a panel or rewiring job: Financing available through Acorn Finance, subject to credit approval. Check your options without affecting your credit score.

Lealman emergency FAQ
A fuse keeps blowing. Can I put in a bigger one? No. A bigger fuse lets the wire overheat. Leave the circuit off and call us.
My outlet cover is warm and there’s a faint burning smell. Is that urgent? Yes. Turn off that circuit, or the main if you’re not sure which circuit it is, and call. It can be a loose connection, sometimes on aluminum wiring.
I’m a landlord. Can my tenant call you directly? Yes, with your approval. We’ll send you photos and a written summary.
My mail says St. Petersburg. Who issues the permit? Pinellas County, because Lealman is unincorporated.
How fast can you get there? We’re about 7 miles away. We’ll give you an honest estimate based on the hour and the calls ahead of yours.
Do you charge more after hours? Yes. We tell you the rate before we dispatch.
