Timmy's Electric Solutions has been the go-to electrical contractor for Apopka homeowners and businesses since 2000. That's 26 years of showing up, getting the work done right, and building a reputation one job at a time in Orange County. Whether you need a same-day repair, a full panel upgrade, or a licensed electrician for a commercial project, we're ready to help. We answer our own phones and show up in our own trucks. Residential or commercial, routine or urgent, we handle it all. Honest quotes. Code-compliant work. Reliable power.
We find it. We fix it. We test it.
That's how we approach every repair call, whether it's a flickering light that's been driving you crazy for weeks or a sparking outlet that needs attention right now. Electrical problems don't always announce themselves clearly, and chasing down the source takes real diagnostic skill. Our team works through the problem methodically, from the outlet or fixture back to the panel, until we know exactly what's wrong and what it takes to fix it.
Common repair calls we handle every day include:
We also install and replace GFCI and AFCI protection throughout the home, including arc-fault and ground-fault breakers at the panel. These devices are required by code in most living spaces, kitchens, bathrooms, and garages, and they're one of the most effective ways to reduce electrical fire risk. All repair and troubleshooting work is performed by licensed electricians who know the local code requirements. We'll trace it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
If you're not sure your panel can handle the load, that's exactly the right time to call us.
An undersized or aging panel is one of the most common issues we find in older Apopka homes and in commercial buildings that have added equipment over the years without a corresponding service upgrade. We handle the full range of panel and service work, from replacing a worn-out breaker to a complete 200-amp service upgrade, including service-entrance and meter upgrades when the utility connection needs to be brought up to current standards.
Our panel and service work includes:
We size the job honestly. If a panel replacement is what you need, we'll tell you. If a targeted repair is the right call, we'll tell you that instead. Reach out and we'll start at the panel.
Keeping a home safe starts with the wiring behind the walls, and that's where a lot of problems hide.
Older homes in the Apopka area often carry wiring that was installed decades ago and was never designed to handle the electrical load a modern household puts on it. Aluminum wiring, installed widely in the 1960s and 70s, is a known fire hazard at connections and requires remediation by someone who knows what they're doing. Knob-and-tube wiring, found in some of the oldest properties in the area, is another system that needs to be replaced before it creates a serious risk.
We handle:
No pressure and no gimmicks, just safe, solid wiring. We do the work to code, and we do it so it lasts. We'll handle the wiring so you don't have to.
From a single GFCI outlet to a whole-home rewire, we've seen it all, and the smaller jobs matter just as much as the big ones.
Outlet and switch work is some of the most requested electrical service we do. We install and replace standard outlets, GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, AFCI outlets in bedrooms and living areas, USB outlets, and 240-volt outlets for larger appliances. Switch work includes standard replacements, dimmer switches, three-way switches, and smart switch wiring.
Lighting installation is another area where we stay busy. We install:
Ceiling fan installation and replacement rounds out this category. Whether you're adding a fan where there was no existing fixture or swapping out an old unit for a new one, we handle the wiring and mounting so the job is done safely and correctly. We show up ready to work.
We wire homes and businesses every day, and we're good at it, especially when the job calls for something beyond the standard outlet or switch.
Dedicated circuits are a necessity for high-draw appliances. Dryers, electric stoves, ovens, and large kitchen appliances all need their own circuit to operate safely and efficiently. We run dedicated circuits and install 240-volt outlets for laundry rooms, kitchens, workshops, and anywhere else a single appliance is pulling significant load.
EV charger installation is a growing part of what we do. A Level 2 home charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit and a panel with enough capacity to support it. We assess your panel, run the circuit, and install the charger correctly so it's ready for daily use.
Whole-home surge protection is something every Florida homeowner should have. Lightning is a real threat in Orange County, and a single strike or even a utility surge can damage appliances, electronics, and wiring throughout the house. We install whole-home surge protection at the panel to stop that damage before it starts.
We also handle backup generator hookups and transfer switch installation. A properly wired transfer switch keeps your generator connected safely, protects utility workers, and keeps your essential circuits running when the power goes out. A workmanship guarantee on every wiring job backs up everything we do in this category. We'll handle the wiring so you don't have to.
When the electrician arrives, the real work begins, and that's especially true on an inspection or safety check.
A thorough electrical safety inspection covers the panel, the wiring, the grounding and bonding, the outlets and switches, and the protective devices throughout the home or building. We look for code violations, signs of overloading, outdated equipment, and anything that represents a real safety risk. If you've had a failed inspection or received a notice of code violations, we can identify what needs to be corrected and get it done.
Additional services we provide include:
Hot tub, spa, and pool wiring involves specific code requirements around bonding, GFCI protection, and safe distances from water. Florida's climate means outdoor pools and spas are common, and getting the electrical right on these installations is not something to cut corners on. We know the requirements and do the work correctly.
Every job we take on gets done to code. That's not a marketing line. It's how we protect the people who live and work in the buildings we wire.
We pull permits when the work requires them. We follow the National Electrical Code and Florida's local amendments. We don't take shortcuts that save time on our end but create problems for the customer down the road. When we're done, the work is inspectable, the connections are solid, and the system is tested.
We pull the permit. We wire it to code. We stand behind it.
That commitment applies to every job, from a single outlet replacement to a full-service upgrade on a commercial property. It's the standard we've held to for 26 years, and it's not changing.
Property managers, business owners, and commercial clients have different needs than a homeowner with a tripping breaker. Downtime costs money. Code compliance is non-negotiable. And the electrician needs to show up when they say they will and get the work done without disrupting operations any more than necessary.
We work across a range of commercial settings, including:
Commercial electrical work we handle includes panel upgrades, dedicated circuits for commercial equipment, commercial wiring for tenant improvements and buildouts, and code compliance repairs before inspections. We communicate clearly on scope and timeline, and we don't leave a job site with open questions about what was done and why.
Electrical pricing depends on the scope of the job, the materials required, and the time involved. A straightforward outlet replacement is a different conversation than a panel upgrade or a whole-home rewire. What stays consistent is how we handle the estimate.
Before any work begins, we walk through what we found, what needs to be done, and what it costs. No surprises at the end of the job. If additional work turns up once we're in the walls, we tell you before we proceed, not after. You decide how to move forward with full information.
We don't believe in padding a quote or adding charges that weren't discussed. The price we quote is the price you pay for the work that was agreed on. Call (689) 362-1899 for a quote and we'll give you a straight answer on what the job involves and what it costs.
Some electrical problems can wait for a scheduled appointment. Others can't.
Sparking outlets, burning smells, a panel that won't reset, or a complete loss of power in part of your home or business are situations that need attention now, not next week. We offer same-day service for urgent calls, and we're available for electrical emergencies when they happen. If you're not sure whether your situation qualifies as an emergency, call us and describe what you're seeing. We'll tell you honestly how quickly you need someone on site.
For non-emergency work, same-day and next-day scheduling is often available. We know your time matters, and we work to get to you quickly without making you wait through a long scheduling backlog. Call (689) 362-1899 to find out when we can be there.
We're based in Apopka and do most of our work right here in the community and across Orange County. Over 26 years, we've worked in the older neighborhoods near downtown Apopka, in newer developments on the edges of the city, and in commercial properties throughout the county.
Beyond Apopka, we regularly serve:
We know the housing stock in this area. We know where the older wiring tends to show up, what the common panel issues are in homes built in different decades, and what the local inspection requirements look like. That local knowledge makes a difference when a job has complications. Reach out and we'll start at the panel.
We have been serving Apopka and Orange County since 2000, which puts us at 26 years in this community. That time adds up to a lot of local knowledge about the housing stock, the common wiring issues in different neighborhoods, and what the local inspection requirements look like.
Work is performed by licensed electricians who know the local code requirements and take the job seriously. We answer our own phones and show up in our own trucks, so the people you talk to and the people doing the work are part of the same local operation.
We work throughout Orange County and regularly serve Ocoee, Winter Garden, Zellwood, Plymouth, Maitland, Altamonte Springs, Longwood, Forest City, and Mount Dora. Customers just across the county line into Seminole and Lake County are welcome to call and we will confirm whether we can reach them.
We give you a straight answer on what the work involves and what it costs before anything begins. If something unexpected comes up during the job, we tell you before we proceed. No pressure and no gimmicks, just safe, solid wiring and honest communication from the first call to the final test.
Yes. Cleaning up after the work is part of the job, not an afterthought. We remove debris, patch any access points that were opened for wiring runs where that is within scope, and leave the space in a condition you can use right away.
We maintain our diagnostic equipment and tools as a matter of professional practice. Accurate testing is how we confirm that a repair is actually complete and that the circuit is safe, so the equipment we use to do that has to be in good working order.
We are a locally owned operation, and we work with other local businesses, contractors, and property managers throughout Orange County on a regular basis. When a general contractor or property management company needs a reliable electrician, we are the crew they call.
Timmy's Electric Solutions has served Apopka and Orange County since 2000, and the work has always been the same: show up on time, do the job right, and treat the customer honestly. Residential or commercial, routine installation or urgent repair, we're ready to help.
Call (689) 362-1899 to request an estimate or schedule a service call. We answer our own phones and we'll give you a straight answer on what the work involves and when we can get there.
We pull the permit. We wire it to code. We stand behind it.
We handle electrical work across the board, from a tripped breaker at midnight to a full panel upgrade before a major renovation. The table below breaks down what each service covers, who it fits best, and what is worth knowing before you call. Work is performed by licensed electricians, and every job is quoted clearly before we start. If you have questions about a specific situation, call us and we will walk you through it.
| Service | What the Job Involves | Common Situations | Worth Knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits | dryer and range circuits, 240-volt appliance wiring, workshop and garage circuits, panel capacity check | anyone adding a large appliance, converting a space, or setting up a workshop | We size the circuit correctly from the start so the wiring supports the load safely for years. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair | breaker replacement, fuse panel service, repeated trip diagnosis, arc-fault breaker upgrades | homes where a breaker trips repeatedly or will not reset | A breaker that keeps tripping is telling you something. We find the cause before replacing parts. |
| Wiring & Circuit Installation | new branch circuits, knob-and-tube remediation, aluminum wiring repair, whole-home rewiring | older Apopka homes with outdated or unsafe wiring conditions | Grounding and bonding are addressed as part of rewiring work, not treated as an afterthought. |

How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be upgraded?
A few signs point clearly toward a panel that has reached its limits. If breakers trip regularly under normal use, if you are adding a major appliance or EV charger and the panel has no room, if the panel is more than 30 years old, or if you notice warm or discolored breakers, it is worth a conversation. We assess the panel and give you a clear picture of what it can and cannot handle before recommending any work.
What causes a breaker to trip repeatedly?
A breaker that trips over and over is usually responding to one of three things: a circuit that is carrying more load than it was sized for, a wiring fault somewhere on the branch, or a failing breaker that can no longer hold its rated amperage. We test the circuit and trace the cause before replacing anything. Swapping a breaker without understanding why it tripped is not a fix.
Is the electrical work permitted and inspected?
Yes. Panel replacements, service upgrades, new circuits, and other work that requires a permit are pulled and inspected through the proper channels. That means the work is on record with the county, your property is protected, and there are no surprises if you sell or refinance. We handle the permit process as part of the job.
Work Performed by Licensed Electricians
Every job, whether it is a single outlet or a full panel replacement, is handled by licensed electricians who know the code requirements for Orange County work. We do not cut corners on compliance.
Is older wiring in an Apopka home safe?
It depends on what is there and its condition. Knob-and-tube wiring and aluminum branch wiring both carry specific risks and require professional evaluation. Deteriorated insulation, ungrounded outlets, and connections that do not meet current code are concerns we look for during an inspection. If the home has older wiring, an electrical safety inspection gives you an honest picture of what you are working with.
What does a home need for a Level 2 EV charger?
A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit and a panel that has the capacity to support it. We check the panel first to confirm there is room, then run the circuit to the garage or parking area and install the charger. The job is permitted and inspected so the installation is on record. If the panel is already at capacity, we discuss the options before any work begins.
Why do outlets or switches sometimes stop working?
A dead outlet is often a tripped GFCI somewhere upstream, a loose connection at the outlet or junction box, or a wiring fault on the branch circuit. A switch that stops responding can have a similar cause, or the switch itself may have failed. We trace the circuit from the panel to the device to find the actual source rather than guessing.
Upfront Quotes With No Surprise Fees
We tell you what the work costs before we start. If something unexpected turns up during the job, we stop and explain it before doing anything additional. The price we quote is what you pay for the work that was agreed on.
What do flickering or dimming lights usually mean?
Occasional flicker when a large appliance kicks on can be normal if the panel is handling a sudden load. Persistent flickering, dimming that happens without an obvious cause, or lights that flicker across multiple rooms point to a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or a panel that is struggling under the load. Those are situations worth having an electrician look at rather than waiting to see if they resolve on their own.
Are warm or buzzing outlets something to worry about?
Yes. A warm outlet or one that buzzes or crackles is a sign of a loose connection, an overloaded circuit, or wiring that is arcing. Those conditions can cause damage to appliances and create a fire risk over time. If you notice heat, sound, or a burning smell near an outlet, stop using it and call us. That is not a situation to monitor and revisit later.
Same-Day and Emergency Availability
Sparking outlets, a panel that will not reset, or a burning smell are not situations that should wait until Monday. Call us and describe what you are seeing, and we will tell you honestly how quickly someone needs to be on site.
How does surge protection work, and is it worth it in Central Florida?
Central Florida ranks among the highest in the country for lightning strike frequency, which makes whole-home surge protection a practical investment rather than an optional upgrade. A panel-level surge protector intercepts voltage spikes before they reach your wiring and appliances. It works differently from a point-of-use power strip and covers the entire home, including appliances that are not plugged into a strip. We install them with proper grounding and bonding so the surge path is controlled.
Do I need to be home when the electrician comes?
For most jobs, yes. We need access to the panel, the affected circuits, and the work areas. If you are coordinating for a rental property and cannot be present, a property manager or trusted contact who can provide access and answer questions about the space works well. We confirm the appointment window in advance so you can plan around it.
How do estimates and pricing work before any work begins?
We give you a clear estimate before any work starts. We walk through what we found, what needs to be done, and what it costs, so there are no surprises on the invoice. If something changes once we are in the walls, we tell you before we proceed. For larger jobs like a panel upgrade or rewire, we typically need to see the property before quoting a firm number.
Every electrical situation is a little different, so call us at (689) 362-1899 and we will talk through what you are dealing with and give you a straight answer on what it takes to fix it.
