What Orlando Homeowners Say

Spectrum was great. I called several companies for a quote to run electric from the house to backyard shed. Spectrum was one of the only ones who called me back and came our right away and gave me a quote. I felt like the wanted my business. We scheduled the work for a few days later both Alex and Jason showed up on time and were done when they said they would be. Very thorough, professional, made sure they did everything we needed, took time to answer any questions we had. I would definitely use them again and recommend them. Great company and great people.

FANATASTIC experience with Spectrum. The electrician was very efficient and thorough with the job. We got a new light fixture in our pantry and Alex walked us through all our options. When he was done with the installation, he troubleshooted it to make sure it was working exactly the way we wanted it. Before he left, he cleaned the area he was working in.

I highly recommend this company! Extremely professional, knowledgeable, and affordable!

A great experience with Spectrum Electric. Alex came out in person and estimated the work to be performed (rewire entire house). Besides being affordable, they've been very professional, and strong communication with us every step of the way. I would recommend them for any project large or small.

Spectrum has been out to our home three times now and has done incredibly work each time. They are prompt, professional and efficient. I first used them to update all recommendations from our home purchase inspection. They were able to test/update/replace every single outlet. This helped address a recent short we experienced in my sons room. Now I know we are up to code and my baby is safe! Most recently, I needed a new outlet out put in. They were busy but still made time to squeeze us in and now my freezer works ! I will surely use them for all of my electrical needs.

I couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome of the services performed by Spectrum Electric! They were amazing with explaining everything to me, repairing what needed to be done and making my kitchen light up! They were quick, on time, clean and were reasonably priced. I will definitely use them in the future and highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Electrical Questions from Orlando Homeowners

Get answers to the most common questions Orlando and Central Florida homeowners ask about electrical issues, repairs, and upgrades.

Flickering lights when appliances turn on usually indicates that your electrical circuit is being overloaded. Large appliances like air conditioners, refrigerators, and washing machines draw significant power when they start up, which can cause a momentary voltage drop. While occasional, brief flickering is normal, persistent flickering could signal loose wiring, an overloaded circuit, or an outdated electrical panel that can't handle your home's electrical demands. If you're experiencing frequent flickering, it's best to have a licensed electrician inspect your system. In many Central Florida homes built before 2000, panel upgrades are needed to accommodate modern electrical loads.

The clearest signs are breakers that trip frequently, a panel that's warm to the touch, or a panel branded Federal Pacific or Zinsco. Both of those brands have documented failure rates. If your home was built before 1990 and still has its original 100-amp panel, it likely can't handle the load of modern appliances, AC systems, and EV chargers. A licensed electrician can evaluate your panel and tell you whether an upgrade to 200-amp service makes sense. Most panel upgrades in Central Florida run between $1,800 and $3,500.

A breaker trips to protect your wiring from overheating. If it happens once, the circuit was temporarily overloaded. If the same breaker trips repeatedly, the cause is usually one of three things: too many appliances sharing one circuit, a short circuit somewhere in the wiring, or a failing breaker. In older Central Florida homes, the most common culprit is an undersized panel trying to handle loads it wasn't designed for. An electrician can test the circuit, identify the root cause, and fix it so you're not resetting breakers every week.

A full rewire for a typical 3-bedroom Central Florida home runs between $8,000 and $15,000. The price depends on square footage, number of circuits, accessibility of the wiring (single-story vs. two-story, attic access, wall construction), and how much of the old wiring needs to come out versus being abandoned in place. We provide a free on-site estimate with an exact written price before any work starts.

In Seminole County and Orange County, permits are required for most electrical work beyond simple fixture replacements. Panel upgrades, new circuits, rewiring, EV charger installations, and generator hookups all require permits. The permit process includes a county inspection to verify the work meets code. We handle the permit application and inspection scheduling on every job that requires one, so you don't have to deal with the county directly.

Warning signs of electrical problems include: frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, outlets or switches that are warm to the touch, burning smells near outlets or the panel, buzzing sounds from outlets or switches, sparks when plugging in devices, discolored or scorched outlets, and outlets that don't hold plugs securely. You should also be concerned if you experience mild shocks when touching appliances or if your lights dim when you use multiple appliances. These symptoms can indicate loose connections, overloaded circuits, or deteriorating wiring that poses fire and shock hazards. If you notice any of these signs, contact a licensed electrician promptly for an inspection.

Most residential Level 2 EV charger installations take 2 to 4 hours. The timeline depends on how far the charger location is from your electrical panel, whether your panel has an available breaker slot, and whether any panel upgrades are needed to support the additional load. If a panel upgrade is required, the combined job usually takes a full day. We install chargers for Tesla, Ford, Chevy, and every other EV brand.

Aluminum wiring was used in many Central Florida homes built in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The wiring itself isn't the problem. The issue is at the connection points where aluminum meets copper or attaches to outlets and switches. These connections can loosen over time, overheat, and create fire risk. Options include full rewiring (most thorough), COPALUM crimping at every connection point (less invasive), or replacing outlets and switches with ones rated for aluminum. An inspection is the best starting point to understand the scope of what your home needs.

For homes over 25 years old, an electrical inspection every 3 to 5 years is a reasonable schedule. If your home is over 40 years old and hasn't been rewired, inspections every 2 to 3 years are smarter. You should also get an inspection before buying or selling a home, after major storm damage, if you're adding significant new loads (EV charger, pool heater, hot tub), or if your insurance company requests a 4-point inspection. Our inspections include a detailed written report with photos.

First, check your main breaker. If it's tripped, flip it off completely and then back on. If the main breaker hasn't tripped, check your meter base for any visible damage or disconnection. If everything looks normal on your end, call your utility company (OUC or Duke Energy depending on your area) to report the outage. They'll check whether the issue is on their side. If the utility confirms power is being delivered to your meter but you still have no power inside, the problem is between your meter and your panel, and that's when you call an electrician.
