Local Casselberry Electricians Ready When You Need Us
Spectrum Electric Inc. isn't a national chain; we're your neighbors. Our shop is right here on Seminola Blvd in Casselberry, and for over two decades, we've taken personal pride in serving the families and businesses in our community. We know the 32707 zip code because we live and work here every day.
We have deep, hands-on experience with the specific housing stock in Casselberry, much of which was built from the 1960s to the 1980s. These homes were equipped for a different era, often with 100-amp panels and sometimes with aluminum branch wiring. Today, your home's electrical system has to support a "Florida lifestyle": the AC running constantly, a pool pump, an EV charger, and multiple high-draw appliances. This modern demand places enormous strain on an infrastructure that was never designed to handle it.
This fundamental conflict between outdated systems and modern electrical loads is the root cause of most issues we see in Casselberry homes. Our methodical approach is to diagnose the underlying problem, rather than just treat the symptom, and educate you on the "why" behind our recommendations. At Spectrum Electric Inc., every project is performed by our licensed and insured team (FL # EC13008455) with the goal of being the last call you'll ever need to make for that issue.
We provide electrical services for Casselberry businesses along major corridors like SR 436 and 17-92, including those in Casselberry Commons. We understand that for retail, medical, and professional offices, electrical work must be non-disruptive. Our commercial electricians are experts at scheduling and executing projects efficiently to keep your operations running smoothly.
Electrical Services For Casselberry Homes
Our Casselberry customers call us for all kinds of residential electrical work. Here's what keeps our trucks busy:
Panel Upgrades
Many homes in Casselberry still have their original 100-amp electrical panels, which are now dangerously undersized for a modern family's needs. If your breakers trip frequently or you're planning to add an electric vehicle, it's a clear sign your system is overloaded. We perform methodical Panel Upgrades to 200-amp service, providing the power and, more importantly, the safety margin your home requires.
EV Charger Installation
Properly installing an EV charger is about more than just wiring an outlet. Our process begins with a formal load calculation to ensure your home's electrical service can safely handle the continuous 32-50 amp draw. We install fully permitted Level 2 EV Charger Installation systems for all brands, ensuring your setup is powerful, safe, and code-compliant.
Lighting and Ceiling Fans
From installing modern, energy-efficient recessed LED lighting to replacing a ceiling fan, our approach is centered on craftsmanship. We ensure every fixture is securely mounted, properly wired, and integrated seamlessly into your home's aesthetic and electrical system. We handle all Lighting and Ceiling Fans projects with the same commitment to long-term reliability.
Electrical Repairs
A dead outlet or a tripping breaker is a symptom of a deeper issue. These aren't just annoyances; they are your home's warning signs of potential fire hazards from arcing or overloaded circuits. Our electricians use advanced diagnostics, including thermal imaging, to find the root cause and perform a lasting repair, reflecting our "no callback" culture of doing the job right the first time.
Whole House Rewiring
Some older Casselberry homes contain hazardous wiring like ungrounded two-wire systems or aluminum branch circuits from the 60s and 70s. We are experts at identifying these risks and providing safe, code-compliant remediation. Whether it's a targeted repair or a full Whole House Rewiring, our first priority is the long-term safety of your family.

When to Call an Electrician in Casselberry
While a dead outlet is an obvious problem, many of the most serious electrical hazards present themselves with subtle warning signs. As part of our commitment to homeowner education, we feel it's our obligation to teach you what to look for, because ignoring these signs can lead to catastrophic failure or fire.
Call an electrician if you notice any of these in your Casselberry home:
Flickering or dimming lights
When your lights dim or flicker as a large appliance kicks on, it's a direct sign of an overloaded circuit or a weak connection somewhere in the system. A loose connection creates resistance, which generates heat, a primary cause of electrical fires. This requires immediate professional diagnosis.
Breakers that trip repeatedly
A circuit breaker is a critical safety device. If it trips once, it did its job. If it trips repeatedly, it is sending you a clear and urgent warning that there is a persistent overload or a dangerous fault on that circuit that must be investigated and solved.
Warm outlets or switch plates
There should never be noticeable heat coming from an outlet or switch. Warmth is a direct byproduct of electrical resistance from a loose or failing connection, which is a significant fire hazard. This is precisely the kind of hidden danger we look for with our complimentary thermal camera inspection.
Burning smell from outlets or panels
A burning smell from an outlet or your electrical panel is a critical emergency. Do not hesitate. Go to your panel, shut off the main breaker if you can safely do so, and call us immediately. This indicates that wiring is actively overheating and melting, and immediate action is required.
Two-prong outlets throughout the house
Many older Casselberry homes have ungrounded two-prong outlets, which offer no protection against electrical shock. Simply swapping them for three-prong outlets without running a ground wire creates a "false sense of safety" that is still highly dangerous. We correct this by installing proper grounding or GFCI protection, ensuring your family and your electronics are truly safe.
Your panel has a Federal Pacific or Zinsco label
If your home has a Federal Pacific Electric (FPE) Stab-Lok or a Zinsco/GTE-Sylvania panel, it is a documented safety hazard. These panels are notorious for having breakers that fail to trip during an overload, which can lead directly to an electrical fire. We strongly urge you to have us inspect these panels immediately to assess the risk to your home.

Customer Reviews
What Our Central Florida Customers 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.
Casselberry Electrician FAQ
How fast can you get to my Casselberry home?
We're located on Seminola Blvd in Casselberry, so most jobs in the 32707 and 32730 zip codes are within 10 minutes of our shop. For standard service calls, we typically schedule within 1 to 2 business days. Emergency calls are handled the same day, often within hours.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Casselberry?
Seminole County requires permits for most electrical work beyond simple fixture replacements. Panel upgrades, new circuits, rewiring, and EV charger installations all require permits. We handle the permit application and inspection scheduling as part of every job that requires one.
Is aluminum wiring in my Casselberry home dangerous?
The danger with aluminum wiring, common in Casselberry homes from the late 60s to early 70s, isn't the wire itself, but the connections. Decades of Florida heat cycles cause the aluminum to expand and contract at a different rate than the screw terminals on your outlets, leading to loose connections, arcing, and a serious fire risk. We use our thermal camera to find these hot spots and can make your system safe with modern, engineered solutions like AlumiConn connectors.
How much does a panel upgrade cost in Casselberry?
The cost for a standard 100-amp to 200-amp panel upgrade in Casselberry typically falls between $1,800 and $3,500. The exact price is determined by factors like the condition of your meter base and whether any code updates are needed to bring the whole system up to today's safety standards. We will provide a firm, upfront price in writing, ensuring there are no surprises.
