Note to Florida residents

As you know, a few days ago, Florida experienced a period of frigid temperatures, with record-setting lows in many places. Temperatures between 15-25F with heat feels of 8-20F were plentiful.

If the plants in your yard suffered damage, cold burns, here are some tips.

1) Patience, don't do anything lightly.

2) If the leaves of your plants are currently brown or white, do not rush to remove them or cut the plant. Wait for those leaves to fall naturally.

3) With your nail or a small knife, gently scrape the stem of the plant at several different points. If when scrubbing you notice green inside, it means that plant tissue is still alive, the plant is still alive.

4) Pour plenty of water to the base of the plant, do not wet the leaves or the stems, only the base, until it drenches the soil/sand well. The cold we observed in Florida was extremely dry, and that severely dehydrated the plant.

5) The average date for the last frost in Florida is usually mid-March. Those dry leaves, still protecting the plant in case temperatures drop below freezing again for the next few weeks.

6) By the end of March, check if your plant presents new and green growth. Re-scratch the stem lightly with your nails or a small knife. The areas you notice green, are still alive, if you scratch and see brown or black by then you can already make a cut, pruning the plant to remove all the dead vegetative tissue.

7) DO NOT use compost yet, with these cold temperatures, the plant is dormant or semi-dormant, and the compost can do is burn the root system. Wait for the first week of April to subscribe for the first time.

Most patios look ugly, yes, because in Florida there is a lot of tropical plants being sown that are not adapted to temperatures below 32F.

But patience will be her best friend and her plants best friend.

If you follow all of these tips, and your plant does not show new growth by early April, sadly the plant died. Consider replacing with colder-resistant species, particularly for growing zone 9A and 9B. Everything zone 10-11 onward is going to suffer a lot every time temperatures drop below 32F.

Highly recommend Walka Electric !

Many people don’t realize this, but your electrical panel plays a big role in whether your home can be insured — or renewed.

As electricians, we often find panels that are:

•Overloaded with modern electrical demands

•Poorly organized or improperly modified over time

•Showing signs of overheating, corrosion, or loose connections

And in some cases…

🚨 The panel itself is on an insurance blacklist.

⚠️ Panels insurers commonly flag or deny:

•Federal Pacific (FPE)

•Zinsco / Sylvania

•Challenger

•Certain older Pushmatic and split-bus panels

Insurance companies view these panels as high fire risk, even if they “seem to be working fine.” We’ve seen homeowners forced to upgrade after receiving a cancellation or non-renewal notice.

🧠 Signs it may be time to upgrade your panel:

•Frequent breaker trips or flickering lights

•Not enough breaker space for new appliances or EV chargers

•Aluminum or mixed wiring concerns

•Rust, heat marks, or loose connections inside the panel

•A panel brand your insurer doesn’t approve

With today’s electrical loads — HVAC, pool equipment, home offices, and surge-sensitive electronics — many older panels simply weren’t designed for modern homes.

👉 If you’re unsure about your panel or want to avoid insurance surprises, a professional evaluation can give you clarity before it becomes an urgent (and stressful) issue.

📩 Message or call Walka Electric to schedule a panel inspection or discuss upgrade options.

We hit the highest heat index of the year today, and it’s a serious reminder of how tough these temps can be—especially for those of us working outside all day.

Our crew is staying sharp by staying hydrated, taking breaks, and watching for signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Please look out for yourself and others too—know the symptoms, and don’t push it in extreme heat.

Safety always comes first! 🌞💧🌿
