From waterfront homes on Perdido Bay to condos along the Intercoastal Waterway, Gulf Shores Electrical handles every electrical need in Orange Beach. We specialize in the coastal challenges that come with living on the water including dock power, salt air corrosion, turtle friendly lighting, and storm ready backup systems.
Orange Beach has more private docks and boat slips per capita than almost anywhere in Alabama. Dock electrical is not the same as standard residential wiring. It requires GFCI protection on all circuits near water, corrosion resistant marine grade fixtures, and proper bonding and grounding to prevent electric shock drowning. These are not optional upgrades. They are code requirements that protect lives.
We install and service dock power pedestals, boat lift circuits, underwater lighting, and outdoor waterfront lighting systems that are built to withstand the harsh salt air environment. We also perform dock electrical inspections for buyers and sellers during real estate transactions.
Salt air is relentless on electrical systems. Panels, breakers, outlets, and fixtures corrode faster in Orange Beach than anywhere inland. We recommend annual inspections for any property within a quarter mile of the water.
Coastal Ordinance
Orange Beach city ordinance requires amber LED turtle friendly lighting for exterior fixtures in the sea turtle nesting zone. We are certified to install compliant fixtures and can help you determine what your property requires. Violations can result in fines.
