Trusted Electricians Serving Winter Park, FL
Your Winter Park home has a story and a character we deeply respect. Whether it's a 1940s bungalow near Park Avenue or a sprawling estate, we know its beauty often hides an aging electrical system. From brittle Knob-and-Tube wiring to outdated panels, these unique properties have electrical needs that demand true expertise, and that's why Spectrum Electric Inc. is the trusted choice for our neighbors.
As your local electricians, our Casselberry shop is just a short drive down 17-92, allowing us to respond quickly to your needs in Winter Park. But our real value isn't just proximity; it's our deep, hands-on familiarity with the specific electrical systems in your neighborhood. We’ve diagnosed and repaired everything from failing Federal Pacific panels in 1960s-era homes to the unique challenges of aluminum wiring, bringing decades of focused craftsmanship to every job.
Electrical Services for Winter Park Homes
Winter Park's mix of historic properties and newer construction means we see a wide variety of electrical work. Here's what we handle most often:
Panel Upgrades for Older Homes
Many older Winter Park homes were built with 60 or 100-amp electrical panels, which are dangerously undersized for today's needs. Attempting to power modern kitchens, EV chargers, and home offices on these systems leads to tripped breakers and fire hazards. At Spectrum Electric Inc., our first step is to educate you on the "why" behind an upgrade. We then replace these obsolete panels with a robust 200-amp service, giving your home a safe, reliable electrical foundation for decades to come.
Whole House Rewiring
If your home was built before the mid-1970s, it may contain hazardous wiring. We routinely encounter Knob-and-Tube wiring with brittle, crumbling insulation that poses a significant fire risk, and aluminum branch circuits from the 60s and 70s where connections loosen over time, causing arcing and heat. Our team's methodical approach is to fully replace these systems, ensuring your family's safety while meticulously preserving the integrity and character of your Winter Park home.
EV Charger Installation
Adding an EV charger is more than just installing an outlet; it's a major addition to your home's electrical load. Our process at Spectrum Electric Inc. always begins with a formal load calculation to determine if your panel can safely handle the continuous 32-50 amp draw. We install Level 2 chargers for every make, including Tesla and Porsche, ensuring the new circuit is properly sized, permitted, and built to provide safe, reliable charging for years.
Lighting Design and Installation
Thoughtful lighting transforms a house into a home, and we take great pride in our craftsmanship. We properly brace and install heavy chandeliers in historic dining rooms, strategically place recessed lighting for modern kitchens, and design durable landscape lighting to accent your property's mature oaks. Every installation is wired for long-term reliability and safety, ensuring your home is not only beautiful but also code-compliant.
Ceiling Fan Installation
Proper air circulation matters in Florida, and ceiling fans help reduce AC costs while keeping rooms comfortable. We install fans in any room, ensuring proper electrical support and secure mounting, especially important in older homes where ceiling structures vary.
Electrical Safety Inspections
Buying or selling a Winter Park home? An electrical inspection reveals the true condition of the wiring, panel, and connections. We provide detailed reports that help buyers understand what they're getting and help sellers address issues before listing.
Outdoor and Pool Electrical
Winter Park properties often feature pools, outdoor kitchens, and elaborate landscaping that all require proper electrical work. We handle pool pump wiring, outdoor outlet installation, landscape lighting, and everything else your outdoor living space needs.

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.
Winter Park Electrician FAQ
Can you rewire a historic Winter Park home without damaging the walls?
In most cases, yes. We use fishing techniques to route new wiring through existing walls, attics, and crawl spaces without cutting large holes. Some older Winter Park homes near Park Avenue and the Interlachen neighborhoods have plaster walls that require extra care, and we adjust our approach accordingly. We'll tell you upfront during the estimate if any drywall work will be needed.
How much does electrical work cost in Winter Park?
Costs vary by job. Panel upgrades run $1,800 to $3,500. EV charger installations cost $800 to $2,200. Whole-house rewiring for a typical Winter Park home ranges from $8,000 to $15,000+ depending on size and wall construction. We provide a free written estimate with exact pricing before starting any work.
Do you handle 4-point electrical inspections for insurance?
We do. Many Winter Park homes are 40+ years old, and insurance companies increasingly require 4-point inspections that cover the electrical system, roof, plumbing, and HVAC. We handle the electrical portion and provide a detailed report with photos that your insurance company or agent can use.
How far are you from Winter Park?
Our shop on Seminola Blvd in Casselberry is about 10 to 15 minutes from most Winter Park neighborhoods. We're in the Winter Park area regularly and can usually schedule service within 1 to 2 business days. For emergencies, we respond the same day.
Do you pull permits for work in Winter Park?
Yes. Winter Park has its own building department separate from Orange County, and they require permits for most electrical work beyond simple fixture replacements. We handle the permit application and schedule the city inspection so you don't have to deal with it.
