MNE Electric is based right here in Gulf Shores, at 1465 W Lagoon Ave, just off the Little Lagoon side of town. We’re your local electrician for homes, beach rentals and small businesses, and we get to Gulf Shores jobs quickly because we live and work here too. Whether you have an older raised beach house near West Beach Boulevard or new construction north of the Intracoastal Waterway, we keep your power safe, current and ready for whatever the Gulf sends your way.
Coastal living is hard on electrical systems. Salt air corrodes connections, summer storms bring power surges, and many older homes were wired long before anyone had an EV in the driveway or a full kitchen of smart appliances. We focus on the upgrades that matter most in Gulf Shores.
Areas We Serve in Gulf Shores
We work throughout Gulf Shores, including West Beach, the Little Lagoon area, the neighborhoods along Fort Morgan Road, homes near Gulf State Park, and communities north of the Intracoastal along State Highway 59. We also take on vacation rentals and condos near the beach, where owners need reliable work done between guest stays. Since our shop is in town, we can often schedule Gulf Shores appointments sooner than out-of-area contractors.
Service & Panel Upgrades in Gulf Shores
Many Gulf Shores homes still run on 100-amp services or older panels that weren’t built for today’s demand. If your breakers trip often, your lights dim when the AC kicks on, or you’re planning an addition, pool, EV charger or generator, you may need a service and panel upgrade.
We handle:
- 100-amp to 200-amp (or larger) service upgrades
- Electrical panel replacements, including outdated or recalled brands
- Meter base and service entrance replacement after corrosion or storm damage
- Subpanels for garages, workshops and ground-level storage under raised homes
- Permits and inspections with the City of Gulf Shores and Baldwin County
On the coast, we pay close attention to corrosion-resistant materials and proper placement so your new equipment lasts. Learn more on our service upgrades page.
EV Charger Installation in Gulf Shores
More Gulf Shores residents and rental guests are driving electric vehicles. A Level 2 charger in your garage or carport charges your car much faster than a standard outlet and can be a real selling point for a vacation rental.
Our EV charger installation service includes:
- An on-site check of your panel capacity, and a load calculation when needed
- Installation of a dedicated 240-volt circuit
- Mounting and connecting hardwired or plug-in Level 2 chargers (Tesla, ChargePoint, Emporia and other major brands)
- Weather-rated outdoor installs for carports and driveways exposed to salt air
- Permitting and inspection
If your panel can’t handle the extra load, we’ll tell you up front and lay out your options. See our EV charging page.
Whole-Home Surge Protection in Gulf Shores
Lightning and the power surges that come with Gulf Coast thunderstorms and hurricane season can damage TVs, appliances, pool equipment and smart home devices in an instant. Power strips only protect what’s plugged into them. Whole-home surge protection is installed at your electrical panel and protects the whole house.
We install:
- Panel-mounted Type 1 and Type 2 surge protective devices
- Surge protection paired with generator and transfer switch installs
- Surge protection for rental properties and small commercial spaces
It’s one of the most affordable upgrades you can make to a coastal home. Ask about adding it when we upgrade your panel. Learn more about whole-home surge protection.
