Storm and Electrical Safety Tips for FishHawk Homes

Check with your HOA first. Planning a standby generator, outdoor equipment pad, or other exterior change? Get architectural review approval from your HOA before work starts. We are happy to provide the details your HOA needs.
Use generators safely. Run portable generators outside, far from doors, windows, and the garage. Never plug one into a wall outlet. A properly installed transfer switch or interlock keeps you and line workers safe.
Protect against summer lightning. Our afternoon storms bring a lot of lightning. A whole-home surge protector at the panel, plus point-of-use protectors for TVs, computers, and pool equipment, helps guard your electronics.
Plan for EV chargers and new loads. EV chargers, pool heaters, and added AC units need properly sized circuits. Have your panel capacity checked before you add a big load.
Check for water. If water reaches outlets, your panel, or appliances, keep the power off and have an electrician inspect before turning it back on.
Know your zone and sign up early. Look up your address on HEAT and sign up for HCFL Alert before June, not when a storm is already in the Gulf.
Stay clear of downed lines. Treat every downed line as live.

Neighborhoods We Serve

FishHawk Ranch is laid out in villages, and most neighbors describe where they live by village name. Here is where we work, grouped the way locals talk about it. Build years come from local real estate guides where available; otherwise the years are when the county recorded the plat, so most homes there are that age or a little newer. Before adding a standby generator or other outdoor equipment anywhere in FishHawk, check with your HOA's architectural review first.

The Original FishHawk Ranch Villages, Off FishHawk Boulevard and Osprey Ridge Drive

County records show the original FishHawk Ranch Phase 1 and Phase 2 plats were recorded from 1997 to 2004. Panels in these homes are now about 20 years old or more, a good time for a checkup and whole-home surge protection.

Eagle Ridge: A gated village near the main entrance, built in the early 2000s. Many homes sit on pond or conservation lots, a good fit for outdoor and landscape lighting circuits.

Heron Glen: One of the largest villages, off Osprey Ridge Drive, built about 2001 to 2004. A good fit for panel checkups and surge protection.

Vireo Ridge: Off Osprey Ridge Drive, built around 2003, with many pond and conservation lots.

Tanager Ridge: Near the front of the community by the nature trails, with smaller homes built from 2000 to 2003.

Martin Meadow: A gated village toward the middle of the community, built from 2002 to 2004.

Avocet: A gated village of 34 executive homes built from the mid 2000s to 2014. Larger homes often call for careful generator sizing.

Newer FishHawk Ranch Sections

Starling at FishHawk: Platted from 2010 to 2013 near FishHawk Boulevard. Newer homes, popular for EV charger installs.
