Timmy's Electric Solutions has been wiring homes and businesses in Apopka since 2000, and we know this community well. Whether you own a single-family home in Orange County, manage a rental property, or run a small business, we handle the full range of residential and commercial electrical work. From urgent repairs to planned upgrades, same-day service is available when the job can't wait. We answer our own phones and show up in our own trucks. Call (689) 362-1899 to get a quote or schedule service.
Honest quotes. Code-compliant work. Reliable power.
We find it. We fix it. We test it.
Electrical problems rarely announce themselves at a convenient time. A breaker that keeps tripping, a dead outlet in the kitchen, lights that flicker for no clear reason, or a burning smell near a switch plate are all signs that something needs attention. These are the calls we take every day, and we take them seriously.
When we arrive, we start with a thorough diagnostic. We trace the problem to its source, whether that is a faulty GFCI outlet, a failing breaker, a wiring connection that has worked loose, or something deeper in the circuit. We don't guess and we don't patch over problems. No pressure and no gimmicks, just safe, solid wiring.
Sparking outlets and burning smells are electrical hazards that should not wait. If you notice either, stop using the outlet or switch and call us. We'll trace it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
From a single GFCI outlet to a whole-home rewire, we've seen it all, and we bring the same care to every job regardless of size.
Outlet and switch work comes up constantly, for homeowners updating an older home, landlords keeping rental units up to code, and property managers handling tenant requests. We install and replace standard outlets, GFCI-protected outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas, dedicated circuits for specific appliances, dimmer switches, and upgraded switch plates. If an outlet is cracked, discolored, or stops holding a plug, it is worth replacing.
Lighting is one of the most visible upgrades you can make. We handle recessed lighting, LED retrofits, indoor fixture replacements, and exterior lighting including security lights, landscape wiring, and exterior fixtures for porches and garages. Ceiling fan installation and replacement is a common request in Florida, where moving air makes a real difference in comfort. Work performed by licensed electricians means the wiring behind every fixture meets code and is done right the first time.
We'll handle the wiring so you don't have to.
If you're not sure your panel can handle the load, that is exactly the right time to call us.
Older panels, fuse boxes, and undersized service entrances are common in homes that have not had electrical work done in years. Adding a large appliance, finishing a room, or running a new air-conditioning disconnect can push an older panel past its capacity. We perform load calculations, upgrade panels to 200-amp service, install subpanels, and replace fuse boxes with modern breaker panels.
We also install dedicated circuits for dryers, refrigerators, and the electrical supply side of air-conditioning equipment. If your home or building is going through a remodel or addition, we handle the service-entrance and meter upgrades that make the rest of the project possible. Permit-required work is handled properly from start to finish.
We pull the permit. We wire it to code. We stand behind it.
A workmanship guarantee on every wiring job means you are not left wondering whether the work will hold up. Reach out and we'll start at the panel.
Keeping a home safe starts with the wiring behind the walls, and in a region with housing stock that spans several decades, old wiring is a real and common concern.
Knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch-circuit wiring, and cloth-insulated cables were standard in their time but create fire and safety risks in modern homes. We perform whole-home rewiring for properties that need a full update, and we handle targeted aluminum wiring remediation and knob-and-tube replacement where only certain circuits are affected.
Electrical safety inspections are a practical step before a home purchase, before listing a property for sale, for rental property compliance, or when an insurance company flags a concern. We inspect the panel, visible wiring, outlets, and grounding to give you a clear picture of what is there and what needs attention. We show up ready to work.
Living in Apopka means dealing with Florida's weather on a daily basis. Hurricane season runs from June through November, and Central Florida logs more lightning strikes per year than nearly anywhere else in the country. Backyard pools are part of life here, and power reliability matters when temperatures climb and storms roll through. The three services below come up constantly in this area, and we handle all of them.
A power outage during a Florida storm is not a minor inconvenience. It can mean no air conditioning, no refrigeration, and no lights for hours or days. We wire and connect standby generators, install manual and automatic transfer switches, and run the dedicated circuits that allow a backup system to carry the loads that matter most. We handle the electrical side of the installation from the transfer switch to the panel, so the generator is ready when the grid is not. If you have been thinking about backup power, storm season is the right time to get it scheduled.
Central Florida's lightning frequency is not a statistic to take lightly. A single strike nearby can send a voltage spike through your home's wiring that damages appliances, electronics, and the electrical supply side of major equipment including air-conditioning systems. Whole-home surge protection installed at the panel level catches those spikes before they reach your circuits. It is one of the most cost-effective upgrades available for a Florida home, and we install it as a standalone job or alongside other panel work.
Pools are common in Orange County, and the electrical requirements for water-adjacent installations are strict for good reason. We wire pool and spa circuits to code, install the required GFCI protection, and handle the bonding and grounding that keeps swimmers safe. We also wire outdoor lighting for pool decks, patios, and outdoor living areas. Whether you are installing a new pool, adding a spa, or updating the electrical on an existing setup, we know what the code requires and we do it right.
When the electrician arrives, the real work begins, and EV charger installation is a job where preparation matters.
Florida's EV adoption is growing steadily, and Apopka homeowners are adding Level 2 home chargers at a pace that reflects that trend. A Level 2 charger requires a dedicated 240-volt circuit and a panel that has the capacity to support it. Before we run a single wire, we check your panel's current load and available breaker space. If an upgrade is needed, we handle that first. If the panel is ready, we run the dedicated circuit, mount the outlet or hardwire the charger, and test the connection before we leave. The whole process is straightforward when it is done by someone who knows the work.
We wire homes and businesses every day, and we're good at it, which means we work across a wide range of property types and customer situations.
Residential customers include homeowners tackling a remodel, buyers who just closed on an older home, and landlords keeping rental units safe and code-compliant. Commercial customers include small businesses, office suites, retail spaces, and warehouse facilities that need reliable power and proper wiring. We also work on new construction and additions, where the electrical rough-in needs to be done right before the walls close.
Beyond Apopka, we serve customers throughout the surrounding area including Ocoee, Winter Garden, Zellwood, Plymouth, Mount Dora, Maitland, Altamonte Springs, and Forest City. If you are in the Orange County area and need an electrician, call us and we will tell you if we can get there.
Electrical work varies in scope, and the cost of a job depends on what we find, what materials are required, and whether permits are involved. We do not quote a number before we understand the job. What we do is give you a clear, honest estimate once we know what the work involves, with no obligation to proceed until you are comfortable.
Same-day service is available for urgent situations. After-hours calls are welcome when something cannot wait. Scheduling a non-urgent job is straightforward: call, describe what you need, and we will get something on the calendar that works for you.
For urgent situations like sparking outlets, burning smells, or a panel that will not reset, call (689) 362-1899 right away and describe what you are seeing. We offer same-day service for urgent calls and will tell you honestly how quickly we can have someone on site. Some electrical hazards should not wait, and we treat them accordingly.
Discoloration or scorch marks around an outlet face, a burning smell near a switch plate, an outlet that sparks when you plug something in, or a receptacle that no longer holds a plug firmly are all signs that replacement should not wait. Stop using the outlet and call us. Work performed by licensed electricians means the replacement is done to code and tested before we leave.
Flickering or dimming lights are often a sign of a loose connection, a failing breaker, or a circuit that is being pushed past its capacity. In some cases it points to a problem at the panel rather than the fixture itself. We trace the issue back to its source rather than guessing, and we test the circuit after the repair to confirm it is stable.
Generator installation on the electrical side involves installing a transfer switch, running the dedicated circuits that connect the generator to your panel, and verifying that the panel has the capacity to carry the loads you want to back up. We handle the full electrical scope of the installation, and the work is permitted and inspected. If you already own a generator and need it connected correctly, we handle that too.
Central Florida ranks among the highest in the country for lightning strikes, and a single nearby strike can send a damaging voltage spike through your home's circuits. A panel-level surge protector catches that spike before it reaches your appliances, electronics, and wiring. It is one of the most cost-effective electrical upgrades available for a Florida home, and we install it as a standalone job or alongside other panel work.
Pool and spa electrical installations require dedicated circuits for the pump and equipment, GFCI protection at all required locations, and bonding and grounding of all metal components near the water. These requirements exist because water and electricity are a serious combination, and the code around them is strict. We know the requirements and do the work correctly whether you are adding a new pool, installing a spa, or updating an existing installation.
A repair targets a specific fault, such as a failed outlet, a bad connection, or a tripping breaker, and is scoped to fix that problem. A rewire involves replacing the branch-circuit wiring throughout part or all of a home, typically because the existing wiring is a safety risk or no longer meets code. We assess which approach is appropriate for your situation and explain the reasoning before recommending a scope of work.
Knob-and-tube wiring was not designed for the electrical loads a modern household places on it, and its insulation degrades over time in ways that create fire risk. Aluminum branch-circuit wiring expands and contracts with heat in ways that loosen connections, which can cause arcing at outlets and switches. Both systems require remediation by someone who understands what they are dealing with, and we handle both.
GFCI protection is required in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, outdoor areas, and anywhere near water. AFCI protection is required in most living spaces and bedrooms under current code. Yes, we add both to older homes that were wired before these requirements existed. The upgrade improves safety significantly and is often required before a home sale or rental inspection.
Homes built decades ago were designed for far fewer electrical devices than a modern household runs. The circuits were sized for that lighter load, and the panel may not have the capacity to add more without an upgrade. We perform load calculations, add dedicated circuits where needed, and upgrade panels to support current demand without overloading the system.
From everyday repairs to full panel upgrades, generator hookups, surge protection, pool wiring, and EV charger installation, we cover the electrical work that Apopka homes and businesses need. We have been doing this work locally since 2000, and every job comes with the same commitment to doing it right.
We find it. We fix it. We test it.

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.
