About Thomas Edison Electric — Orlando
A privately-owned, family-run electrical contractor competing against private-equity rollups by doing one thing better: showing up as a real local team.
Why we exist
Most of the well-advertised electrical companies you’ll see online aren’t local – they’re brands owned by national private-equity firms running call centers, scripts, and high-pressure upsells. We’re not that. Thomas Edison Electric is privately held, locally operated, and built on the belief that an electrician should be your neighbor, not a rotating contractor sent by a national 800-number.
From our Lake Mary branch we serve homeowners and small commercial clients across the Greater Orlando metro. Each tech on our truck lives within driving distance of where they work. They know which neighborhoods have aluminum wiring problems, where Federal Pacific panels are still in service, and which inspectors prefer which permitting steps.
Our standards (the ones we never bend)
- Licensed work only. Every job is performed under Florida electrical contractor license EC13015487. No “handyman” workarounds.
- NEC 2023 compliance. Every installation meets the current National Electrical Code and Florida Building Code. If it won’t pass inspection, we won’t install it.
- W-2 employees, not subs. Our techs are full-time team members. They’re insured under our policy, trained on our standards, and accountable to us, not to a job-board agency.
- Quotes in writing, before we start. No verbal estimates that magically grow on the invoice. The number you approve is the number you pay.
- Real photos, real reviews, real names. Everyone you see on this site is a real person who actually works here. No stock photos. No paid review services.
Meet our Orlando electricians
Our field team is small on purpose. Every electrician on the truck is a full-time W-2 employee, licensed under FL EC13015487, and personally accountable for the work they leave behind. We hire for craft and tenure – not turnover – which is why the same technician who installed your panel last year will be the one diagnosing your AFCI trip this year.
Each tech has a public profile listing their license, years of experience, specialties, and recent Orlando-metro jobs. No call-center middlemen. No anonymous “tech assigned at dispatch” surprises.
