Electrical work in Orlando
Orlando sits in the heart of Central Florida's lightning belt. Homes range from 1920s bungalows near downtown to huge areas of recent suburban building, air conditioning runs most of the year, and hurricanes still reach this far inland.
Lightning is the main hazard here. One strike nearby can take out the panel, the air conditioning controls and several appliances at once, which is why surge protection at the panel is a routine recommendation and why you might find three unrelated things broken on the same afternoon.
Older bungalows need rewiring and service upgrades, while newer homes mostly need circuits added. Pools and screen enclosures are everywhere, and their wiring needs proper bonding. Electrical contractors in Florida are licensed by the state, and permits go through Orange County or the City of Orlando.
Most work here is about adding load: EV charger installation, an electrical panel upgrade to make room for it, and whole-home surge protection.
When to call urgently
- A burning smell near outlets, switches or the panel
- Visible sparking, arcing or scorch marks
- A shock from an appliance, switch, faucet or fixture
- Water reaching outlets, the panel or wiring
- A breaker that will not stay reset, or a panel that is hot to the touch
Local conditions
What do electricians get called for in Orlando?
We cover College Park, Thornton Park, Audubon Park, Delaney Park, Baldwin Park and Conway, along with the rest of the ZIP codes listed below.
Several things dead after one storm
A close strike can damage service equipment, the air conditioning controls and appliances together, sometimes leaving a burning smell with no clear source.
Whole-home surge protection
With lightning this frequent, a surge protector at the panel is one of the most requested preventive jobs, not an extra.
Cooling almost all year
Air conditioning runs most months, and the outdoor disconnect sitting in heat and humidity is where repeated tripping usually starts.
Hurricane damage inland
Hurricane winds reach well inland and tear masts and meter bases loose. A house that took water has to be checked before power goes back on.
Pool and screen enclosure wiring
Pool pumps, lights and enclosure wiring need correct bonding and protection, and older setups often don't meet current rules.

Available in Orlando
Which electrical service do you need?
Can I add an EV charger to my Orlando home?
Usually, yes. What decides it is whether the panel has an open slot and the service has room for a dedicated charger circuit. A licensed electrician runs a load calculation and tells you whether the panel needs an upgrade first, or whether a charger turned down or load management will do.
What does electrical work cost in Orlando?
It depends on the job. In newer homes the bigger costs are a charger circuit or a panel upgrade, priced on the distance from the panel and whether the service has room. A switch, outlet or fixture costs far less. You'll know the cost before the job starts.
Is there an emergency electrician for Orlando after hours?
Yes. Call any hour, day or night, and tell us what's going on. We'll get a licensed electrician out who takes emergency calls. If anything is sparking, smoking or wet, switch off that breaker first if you can reach it safely.
