Homes and wiring in Orlando

Orlando mixes 1920s bungalows around its downtown lakes in College Park and Delaney Park, mid-century concrete-block homes, and large newer communities like Lake Nona and Baldwin Park. Central Florida's summer lightning and hurricane season drive most electrical calls.

Block homes from the 1950s through the 1970s may have original panels and few outlets per room. Pools are common, and pool pumps, heaters and lighting all need proper circuits, GFCI protection and bonding.

Weather, seasons and the utility

Central Florida has some of the highest lightning activity in the country, and Orlando's summer afternoons bring almost daily thunderstorms. Hurricane season runs June through November; inland Orlando avoids storm surge, but Hurricane Ian in 2022 caused serious flooding in parts of the metro, and Milton in 2024 caused widespread outages. Heat and humidity keep air conditioners running most of the year. Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC), a municipal utility, serves the city, while Duke Energy serves much of the surrounding area, so the utility process depends on your address.

Local issues electricians see

  • Lightning and surge damage
  • Hurricane-season generators and outages
  • Pool equipment circuits and bonding
