Bay County & South Walton (30A)
Based in Panama City, FL 32405 — providing prompt, owner-operated residential electrical service from Lynn Haven and Mexico Beach to scenic Highway 30A.
Core Power & Protection Systems
Guesswork load calculations and messy surface wiring have no place in your home. Every installation is load-calculated, permitted when required, and wired with clean, code-compliant precision.
Level 2 EV Charging Stations
Electric vehicles place continuous heavy demand on your home’s electrical service. Craig performs a proper NEC Article 625 load calculation on your existing panel before installing dedicated 40A to 60A circuits for Tesla Wall Connectors, ChargePoint Home Flex, and universal J1772 chargers—ideal for year-round garages and 30A rental properties.
Whole-House Surge Protection
Northwest Florida experiences some of the heaviest lightning activity and utility switching surges in the country. Plug-in power strips cannot stop a major coastal surge from frying expensive AC compressors, smart appliances, or tankless water heaters. Craig installs heavy-duty Type 1 and Type 2 Surge Protective Devices right at your main electrical panel.
National Electrical Code Article 230.67 requires whole-home surge protection on service upgrades—and adding one to an existing panel is one of the smartest investments a Florida homeowner can make.
Panel & Subpanel Upgrades
Corroded coastal meter cans, overcrowded breaker boxes, or outdated panels (such as Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or Challenger) create fire hazards and homeowner insurance headaches. Whether you need a full 200-amp main service replacement or a 125-amp subpanel relocation for a remodel or workshop, every circuit is cleanly dressed and balanced.
- Resolves flickering lights, warm breakers, and nuisance tripping
- Satisfies Florida 4-point home insurance inspection requirements
- Clearly labeled circuit directories so you always know every breaker
Generac Service, Repair & Generator Hookups
When tropical storms knock out Gulf Coast power, your backup generator has to work safely the first time. Simmons Electric provides experienced Generac standby generator service and repair, transfer switch wiring, and code-compliant portable generator power inlets with mechanical panel interlocks.
Never rely on illegal "suicide cords" during an outage. A proper exterior inlet box and breaker interlock let you power chosen house circuits safely while protecting utility line workers.
Diagnostics, Lighting & Repairs
You don’t need a massive remodel to call a licensed master electrician. Craig takes pride in solving frustrating electrical problems quickly, explaining every issue in plain English, and handling everyday residential upgrades right the first time.
Electrical Troubleshooting & Diagnostics
Dead outlets, tripping breakers, flickering rooms, or sudden water heater and appliance power loss. Craig traces the root cause methodically using safe, practical testing—and explains exactly what went wrong before repairing it.
Ceiling Fans, Chandeliers & Lighting
Fan-rated box bracing, interior and coastal damp-rated patio ceiling fans, foyer chandeliers, recessed LED retrofits, under-cabinet task lights, and smooth LED dimmer switches.
Switches, GFCI Outlets & Breakers
Replacement of loose, warm, or worn receptacles, kitchen/bath/exterior weather-resistant GFCI protection, AFCI arc-fault breakers, 240V dryer/range outlets, and RV power pedestals.
Bath Exhaust Fans & Lighted Mirrors
Quiet humidity-control bathroom exhaust fan replacements, heated anti-fog LED vanity mirrors, sconce relocations, and dedicated 20A bathroom grooming circuits.
Smart Doorbells & Security Floodlights
Hardwired Ring, Blink, and Nest video doorbell installations, chime transformer voltage upgrades, smart Wi-Fi switches, and motion-activated exterior security floodlights.
Shopping Consultation & Remote Advisory
Unsure which coastal-rated fan, fixture, EV charger, or electrical material to buy before installation? Craig offers pre-purchase Shopping Consultations and Remote Electrical Advisory Assistance for homeowners and absentee 30A owners.

Panel-mounted Type 1/2 Surge Protection is strongly recommended in Bay & Walton Counties to guard AC boards, appliances, and EV chargers.
Work Directly With The Licensed Electrician.
When you call Simmons Electric LLC, you don’t get routed through a high-pressure call center or handed off to commissioned sales technicians looking to upsell unnecessary replacements. You speak and work directly with Craig Todd Simmons—a Florida-licensed electrical contractor serving Bay and Walton Counties since 2007.
Homeowners across Panama City and 30A consistently recommend Craig for two reasons: methodical troubleshooting and clear, honest explanations. Whether tracking down an elusive circuit fault, hanging a coastal ceiling fan, or wiring a 200-amp service panel, he takes the time to explain what is happening in your system and fixes it using safe, practical, code-compliant methods.
