Trusted Electricians Serving Maitland, FL
Choosing a Maitland electrician is about more than just finding someone to connect wires; it’s about entrusting your family's safety to an expert who understands our local homes. At Spectrum Electric Inc., we're your neighbors, operating right from Casselberry for a fast response. Our team's deep experience means we don't just fix problems. We provide lasting, code-compliant solutions built on a foundation of uncompromising safety.
We are intimately familiar with the homes around Lake Lily Park and in Dommerich Estates, many of which were built with electrical systems that can't safely handle a modern Florida lifestyle. We specialize in identifying and correcting the specific hazards common to this housing stock, like aging aluminum wiring or obsolete breaker panels. Our electricians approach every upgrade with the care of a craftsman, meticulously modernizing your home's electrical backbone while preserving its original character.
Electrical Services for Maitland Homes
From troubleshooting a single faulty outlet to executing a complete system rewire, our licensed electricians are equipped to protect your home. We see it as our professional obligation to provide solutions specifically designed to withstand decades of Central Florida’s punishing heat cycles and the constant threat of lightning. Your family’s safety is the non-negotiable standard that guides every repair and installation Spectrum Electric Inc. performs.
Panel Upgrades for Older Homes
An outdated electrical panel isn't just an inconvenience; it's a significant fire risk. Many older homes still have 100-amp boxes or, even worse, dangerous FPE Stab-Lok panels that are documented to fail. We replace these liabilities with robust 200-amp or 400-amp systems that satisfy insurance requirements and provide a safe, reliable foundation for your home’s power. This upgrade is critical to prevent not just nuisance trips, but a catastrophic electrical fire.
Whole House Rewiring
Hazardous wiring, like old aluminum or brittle cloth-and-rubber, is a ticking clock. The problem with aluminum isn't the wire itself, but its tendency to expand and contract, loosening connections and creating dangerous arcing. Our job is to eliminate that risk. We meticulously run new copper wire using specialized techniques that minimize disruption, allowing us to make your home safe without turning your life upside down.
EV Charger Installation
An EV charger is a high-draw appliance that demands a professional installation. Our process begins with a formal load calculation to ensure your home's panel can safely handle the continuous 32-50 amp draw. We then install a dedicated 240V, 50-amp circuit, handle all permitting, and fully commission the unit. This is an engineered addition to your electrical system, done right to protect both your vehicle and your home.
Lighting Design and Installation
Thoughtful lighting transforms a house into a home, but it must be done safely. We design and install everything from recessed LED fixtures to complex smart home systems. Critically, our process always starts with a proper load calculation. We ensure your new lighting enhances your home without dangerously overloading the circuits in your electrical panel. That's a crucial step many installers skip.
Ceiling Fan Installation
In Maitland, a ceiling fan is essential for comfort. However, safety dictates it must be mounted to a fan-rated ceiling box that can support the weight and vibration. We always verify this critical detail before installation. A properly secured fan not only runs safely and quietly but also improves air circulation, taking some of the load off your AC system and helping to lower your energy bills.
Electrical Safety Inspections
For older homes, our detailed electrical inspections are an essential service. We go beyond a simple checklist, using tools like thermal imaging cameras to uncover hidden hazards before they fail. Our comprehensive reports document any code violations or safety risks, giving you the clear information you need to satisfy insurance requirements and, more importantly, ensure your family is protected from unseen dangers.
Outdoor and Pool Electrical
Your outdoor space should be a source of enjoyment, not a safety hazard. We specialize in pool and landscape electrical systems, adhering strictly to code. This means using "while-in-use" weatherproof covers, ensuring proper GFCI protection, and confirming equipotential bonding on your pool to prevent shock risks. We build outdoor systems designed to safely withstand years of Florida's sun and rain.

Our electricians are career professionals, not handymen. This depth of expertise allows us to perform advanced diagnostics, using tools like thermal imaging cameras to pinpoint the true source of a problem. We believe in long-term accountability, which means we solve the root cause of an issue, rather than applying a quick fix that will only fail later.

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.
