Our team brings over 250 years of combined experience to every project.

Whether it's a simple outlet fix or complex rewiring, our local electricians get the job done right.
Electrical Services for Longwood Homes
We handle all types of electrical work to keep your family safe and comfortable in the humid Florida climate.
Panel Upgrades for Older Homes
Many pre-2000 houses have outdated 100-amp panels. We replace hazardous brands like Zinsco or Federal Pacific to help you pass 4-point insurance inspections. A modern 200-amp panel gives your house the safe power it needs. We pull the proper Seminole County permits for every panel upgrade job.
Whole House Rewiring
Old cloth or aluminum wiring poses a serious fire risk. We fish new copper wires through your walls carefully. You don't have to move out while we work. Old wires break down from the intense Florida heat over time. We remove the hazards and install safe materials.
EV Charger Installation
Charging at home is faster and cheaper than public stations, especially for the I-4 commute. We install Level 2 chargers for Tesla, Ford, Chevy, and every other EV brand. Most installations take 2 to 4 hours. Our team evaluates your panel capacity before we start and handles the Seminole County permit.
Lighting Design and Installation
Good lighting makes your living space feel bigger and safer. We calculate the electrical load before adding new circuits. Proper lighting completely changes how a room feels. We help you choose the right color temperature for every space. Every outdoor fixture gets a proper wet-rating to survive summer thunderstorms.
Ceiling Fan Installation
Florida summers demand constant airflow. We install ceiling fans in any room, whether you're replacing an old fixture or adding one where none existed before. We verify your ceiling box is fan-rated for safe mounting and handle all the wiring. A properly installed fan can make a room feel several degrees cooler and take pressure off your AC.
Electrical Safety Inspections
We dig deep into your home's wiring to find hidden hazards. Buying an older home comes with hidden surprises. We find the electrical problems before they become expensive disasters. Our team checks your grounding system and tests for proper GFCI protection. You receive a detailed report with photos.
Outdoor and Pool Electrical
Longwood residents love their outdoor living spaces. We install weatherproof outlets and landscape lighting around your pool deck. Your backyard should be a safe place to relax. We run dedicated circuits for pool pumps and hot tubs. Proper grounding keeps everyone safe while swimming.

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.
