Spectrum Electric
Commercial Electrical Services
Running a business in Central Florida means your electrical system can't be an afterthought. Whether you manage a retail storefront in Orlando, a medical office in Winter Park, or a warehouse near Casselberry, what happens behind your breaker panel directly affects how your operation runs every day. Outdated wiring, overloaded circuits, and aging panels don't just cause inconvenience — they create liability.
Spectrum Electric has been doing commercial electrical work in this area for over 25 years. We handle everything from panel upgrades in older commercial buildings to energy-efficient lighting retrofits, new construction wiring, and EV charger installations for commercial parking areas. When something goes wrong during business hours, we know every hour of downtime has a cost, so we respond quickly and work efficiently to get you back up and running with minimal disruption to your staff or customers.
Why Choose Us ?
Commercial electrical codes in Florida are more stringent than residential standards, and for good reason. Your employees, customers, and equipment all depend on a system that’s properly installed and regularly maintained. Spectrum Electric is a Florida State Certified Electrical Contractor (License #EC13008455), which means we’re held to the highest licensing standards the state requires for commercial work — not just the minimums.
We serve businesses throughout Orange and Seminole County, from downtown Orlando to Casselberry, Apopka, and Winter Park. If your building is older, showing signs of electrical strain, or you’re planning a renovation or expansion, a commercial electrical inspection is the right place to start. We’ll assess what you have, tell you exactly what needs attention, and give you a clear estimate before any work begins.
Commercial Electrical Services in Orlando
Electrical System Installation for New Buildouts
Tenant improvements, new construction, and complete fit-outs for commercial spaces. We work with your general contractor to handle rough-in wiring, panel installation, fixture placement, and final connections. We coordinate directly with Orange County and Seminole County inspectors to keep the project on schedule.
Commercial Panel and Switchgear Upgrades
If your building's electrical capacity can't support new equipment, additional tenants, or expanded operations, we upgrade your service to handle the load. Many older commercial buildings along SR 436 and the 17-92 corridor still run on panels that were sized for 1980s demands. We assess your current capacity, engineer the upgrade, and handle permitting and inspection.
Lighting Retrofits and LED Conversions
Commercial lighting upgrades reduce your electric bill and often qualify for Duke Energy and OUC utility rebates. We handle the design, installation, and disposal of old fixtures. LED conversions for a typical 3,000 to 5,000 sq ft retail or office space usually pay for themselves within 18 to 24 months through energy savings.
Commercial EV Charger Installation
More businesses in the Orlando area are adding EV charging stations for employees and customers. We install Level 2 and DC fast chargers in commercial parking lots, parking garages, and fleet facilities. We evaluate your electrical capacity, recommend charger placement, and handle the full installation including permitting.
Emergency Commercial Electrical Repairs
A tripped main breaker at a restaurant during dinner service or a power loss at a medical office during patient hours can't wait until morning. Our 24/7 emergency electricians respond fast and get your business back online.
Code Compliance and Commercial Inspections
Whether you're preparing for a health department inspection, an insurance audit, or a commercial lease renewal, our commercial electrical inspections document the condition of your electrical system and identify any code violations. We provide a detailed written report you can share with property managers, insurance carriers, or prospective tenants.
Preventive Maintenance Programs
Scheduled maintenance catches problems before they cause outages. We design maintenance programs around your operational schedule. Typical programs include thermal imaging of panels and connections, breaker testing, emergency lighting and exit sign verification, and documentation your insurance carrier may require.

Commercial Electrical FAQ
Can you work on my business after hours?
Yes. We schedule commercial work around your operating hours. Early mornings, late nights, and weekends are all options depending on the scope of the job. For restaurants and retail, overnight work is common.
Do you handle tenant buildout electrical work?
We do. We work directly with general contractors on tenant improvement projects, handling everything from initial rough-in wiring to final fixture installation and inspection coordination. We've done buildouts in commercial spaces throughout Orlando, Winter Park, and Casselberry.
How long does a commercial lighting retrofit take?
For a typical 3,000 to 5,000 sq ft office or retail space, most LED retrofits are completed in 1 to 3 days. Larger facilities like warehouses or multi-suite buildings take longer, but we phase the work to minimize disruption to your operations.
Do you offer maintenance contracts for commercial buildings?
Yes. We design preventive maintenance programs that include scheduled inspections, thermal imaging of panels and connections, testing of emergency lighting and exit signs, and documentation for your insurance or property management records. Most contracts run quarterly.
