Why Lake City Homeowners Choose Holly Electric
We live here
Our office is at 1981 SW Main Boulevard. The trucks you see on the road are ours. If you've lived in Columbia County more than a few years, you've probably seen them.
We're licensed
Holly Electric is a licensed electrical contractor in Florida and Georgia. Every job we do is up to code, and we pull permits when the work calls for them.
We're a Generac PowerPro Premier dealer
That's the top-tier dealer status Generac awards. It means our techs are factory-trained on Generac equipment, and we can sell, install, and service whole-home generators end to end. We also hold KOHLER's two top designations: Certified KOHLER Titanium Tier Dealer and KOHLER Titan Service & Maintenance, so whichever brand fits your home, we sell, install, and service it.
Hurricane season matters here
North Florida sits in the path of Atlantic hurricane systems, and Lake City is far enough inland that storms still bring sustained wind, power outages, and heavy rain. We install transfer switches and standby generators before storm season starts, and we service them year-round so they're ready when the grid goes down.
We answer the phone
Holly Electric Inc shows up on Google as open 24 hours, and that's not marketing copy. If your power goes out at midnight, you can reach us.
Neighborhoods and Areas We Serve
We cover Lake City and the surrounding parts of Columbia County, including:
- Downtown Lake City and the historic district
- Lake DeSoto and the surrounding neighborhoods
- Five Points and the I-75 corridor

If you're inside Columbia County, we can get to you. If you're in a neighboring county (Suwannee, Hamilton, Baker, Union, Bradford, Alachua), we still service the area. Contact us and we'll confirm.
Local Permits and Code
Most electrical work in Lake City requires a permit pulled through the Columbia County Building Department. Panel upgrades, service changes, new circuits, and generator installs almost always do. We handle the permit process as part of the job, including the inspection. You don't have to track that down on your own.
For commercial work, we coordinate with the building department on schedule and inspection so your project doesn't stall waiting on sign-off.
What Lake City Customers Tell Us
We've earned 4.5 stars on Google with more than 100 verified reviews from Lake City customers. Recent feedback covers what we'd expect: clean work areas, full testing before crews leave, and clear pricing. The work either holds up or we come back. That's the deal.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can a Lake City electrician get to my house?
For non-emergency work in Lake City, we typically schedule within a few days. For emergencies (no power, sparking outlets, burning smells), call us right away and we'll route a tech to you. Our office is in town, so drive time inside Columbia County is minimal.
Do you give free estimates?
Yes. For most residential and commercial projects in Lake City, we'll come out, look at the work, and give you a written estimate at no charge. Diagnostic work on an active electrical problem may have a service fee, which we'll tell you about before we come out.
Are you licensed and insured in Florida?
Yes. Holly Electric is a licensed electrical contractor in Florida and Georgia, and we're insured. Ask us for our license number when you call, and we'll provide it.
Do you install whole-home generators in Lake City?
Yes. We're a PowerPro Premier Generac dealer, which means we sell, install, and service Generac whole-home generators. The install includes the generator, the transfer switch, the gas hookup (natural gas or propane), and all permitting. We service the equipment after installation too.
What's the difference between a licensed electrician and a certified one?
A licensed electrician has met the state's experience, exam, and insurance requirements to perform electrical work legally and pull permits. Certification is typically a step earlier in the process (an apprenticeship credential, for example). For any work that requires a permit in Lake City, you need a licensed contractor.
