If you live in an older home in Orlando, Apopka, or Casselberry, your electrical system might be working overtime just to keep the lights on. Many homes built before 2000 were fitted with 100-amp panels that simply cannot handle today's central AC units, high-definition TVs, and home offices.
At Spectrum Electric Inc., we are the folks you trust to keep your power running safely. We aren't a faceless franchise; we are a family-owned business serving Central Florida for over 25 years. With 250+ years of combined team experience and a state license (#EC13008455) to back it up, we ensure your home meets strict Florida electrical codes. We offer same-day service and free estimates because we know that when it comes to electrical safety, you shouldn't have to wait.Park, Baldwin Park, Thornton Park, or anywhere else in the Orlando area, we're just a phone call away.
If your circuit breaker trips every time you use the microwave and the toaster at the same time, your panel is telling you it's overloaded. A safe electrical system should be silent and invisible. Here are the most common warning signs:
Your panel is doing its job by cutting power, but it means you're drawing more electricity than it can handle.
Does the kitchen light dim when your AC kicks on to fight the Orlando heat? This indicates a serious voltage drop.
If your panel feels warm to the touch or has scorch marks, this is an immediate fire hazard.
An acrid, plastic smell near your panel or outlets requires emergency attention.
If your home still has two-prong outlets, it likely lacks proper grounding, suggesting you may need whole-home rewiring alongside a panel upgrade.
If your house is over 30 years old and still running on its original panel, it's likely overdue for a safety check.
This is the new standard for modern living. Moving from 100 to 200 amps gives you the capacity to run your central air, appliances, and devices without overloading the system. It's often required if you plan to install an EV charger or add a hot tub.
For large estates or homes with significant power demands, like multiple AC units, heated pools, and extensive workshop equipment, a 400-amp service ensures you never run out of power.
Running out of breaker space but have plenty of power? We can install a subpanel to create room for new circuits, perfect for garage workshops or home additions.
Certain electrical panels installed between the 1950s and 1980s have proven design flaws. If you have a Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok or a Zinsco panel, we recommend replacing it immediately.
These panels are notorious for breakers that fail to trip during a surge. Instead of cutting the power, they can melt and catch fire. Because of this risk, many Florida insurance companies will not renew policies for homes with these specific panels. We specialize in identifying and swapping these dangerous units for safe, code-compliant Eaton or Square D panels.
We assess your current load and discuss your future needs (like EV charging or a new HVAC system) to recommend the perfect panel size.
You don't need to visit the city office. We handle all required permitting with the city or county to ensure everything is above board.
Our licensed electricians carefully remove your old equipment and install the new panel, ensuring proper grounding and labeling. We treat your home with respect and clean up after ourselves.
We coordinate with the local building department to pass the final inspection, giving you proof that your home is safe and compliant.
