Trusted College Park Electrician Services
As local electricians, we appreciate the unique character of College Park's 1920s bungalows and historic brick streets. We also understand the serious risks hidden within their walls, from brittle knob-and-tube wiring to ungrounded circuits. Spectrum Electric Inc. is your neighborhood expert for these specific challenges in College Park and the greater Orlando area. Because our trucks are dispatched from Casselberry, we provide a rapid, professional response when you need emergency help.
Our team’s methodical approach is built on decades of experience working in homes just like yours. We understand that modernizing an older property's electrical system is a craft that requires protecting its architectural charm. Whether your home is near Lake Ivanhoe or Princeton Street, we have the expertise to ensure its electrical system is safe and robust. We are electrical specialists; for a job like a whole-home rewire that requires opening walls, we focus on the critical wiring and then coordinate with trusted drywall professionals to handle the cosmetic repairs, ensuring every aspect of the job is done right.
Electrical Services for College Park Homes
We believe an informed homeowner is a safer homeowner, but we draw a firm line at the electrical panel. While some home maintenance is straightforward, electrical work carries serious risks of fire and shock if not performed correctly. From targeted repairs to comprehensive system upgrades, we have the professional training and diagnostic tools to handle the complexities of your Central Florida home’s wiring safely and correctly.
Panel Upgrades for Older Homes
In many local homes, the original 100-amp panel is simply not equipped for the demands of a modern Florida lifestyle, running the AC, pool pump, and kitchen appliances all at once. We educate homeowners on why upgrading to a 200-amp service is a critical safety investment, not just a convenience. This prevents chronic overloading and reduces the risk of fire, ensuring your home’s electrical foundation is safe and built to last.
Whole House Rewiring
We are specialists in remediating the specific hazards found in historic homes, from the brittle, ungrounded insulation of knob-and-tube to the fire risks associated with improperly terminated aluminum branch wiring. Our primary goal is bringing your home up to modern safety standards, which also ensures it can pass the stringent 4-point inspections required for Florida homeowners insurance. Our craftsmen take immense pride in using techniques that protect your home's original plaster walls and historic character during the upgrade.
EV Charger Installation
Properly installing an EV charger begins with a professional load calculation to determine if your home's panel can handle the continuous 32-50 amp draw. We manage the entire process, from determining if a service upgrade is needed to installing the dedicated 240V circuit and handling all permitting with Orange County. Our work is not finished until we’ve walked you through the operation of your new charger, ensuring your installation is safe, compliant, and ready for use.
Lighting Design and Installation
When updating a mid-century home, our lighting designs do more than just illuminate a space. They respect and enhance its unique architecture. For all exterior lighting, we strictly use UL wet-location rated fixtures. This is a non-negotiable safety standard for us, as Central Florida’s intense humidity will quickly corrode and short-out inferior fixtures, creating a serious shock hazard.
Ceiling Fan Installation
A ceiling fan provides essential air movement during Orlando's long, hot seasons, but it must be installed with safety as the top priority. We always install heavy-duty, fan-rated electrical boxes that are anchored directly to the ceiling joists. A standard plastic lighting box is not designed to support the weight and constant vibration of a fan, and using one creates a serious risk of the entire unit falling. A standard replacement usually ranges from $150 to $250.
Electrical Safety Inspections
If you are uncertain about the safety of your home's wiring, we can provide definitive answers. Every one of our service calls includes a complimentary thermal camera inspection of your panel and accessible wiring. This advanced diagnostic tool allows us to see hidden hazards, like heat building up at a loose connection, before they fail. We then provide a detailed report that educates you on the 'why' behind our safety recommendations.
Outdoor and Pool Electrical
Given Florida's frequent lightning strikes, we advocate for a layered approach to protecting your home. We install true surge protection devices at the panel to stop massive external surges, and we install whole-home generators for uninterrupted power. For your outdoor living spaces, we adhere strictly to code, ensuring all pool equipment is bonded and all circuits are GFCI-protected to prevent electric shock drowning. This is a commitment to safety we never compromise.

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.
