    The man who answered the phone was very nice and was going to come out immediately. I ended up not needing them, but he was great over the phone and super helpful and the only company that I called on a Saturday evening willing to come out and help me in a timely manner.

    I have been working with Palmer for about a year now in a community that needs infrastructure upgrades throughout. John Reynolds and his team have been in the trenches (literally) and have provided amazing service, follow-up, and communication. Thank you!
    Response from the owner:Thank you, Christina! We truly appreciate your trust over the past year. John Reynolds and the team are committed to providing clear communication, reliable follow-up, and quality work, even in challenging infrastructure projects. We’re grateful for the opportunity to support your community.
    It was a real.pleasure having Andy from Palmer Electric come to assess our electrical box and outside wiring. He was prompt, pleasant, and professional. Andy explained everything thoroughly- what was needed to upgrade the electrical panel to make sure it wouldn't short out, and to make sure the wiring on the side of the house would be repaired or replaced to prevent chance of fire. All in all a great experience. Thank you!

    I had an electrical panel replaced. The panel we had was original to the house and it was installed by Palmer Electric in 1967. Everything from the estimate to customer service and installation were all top-notch and professional. Endre and Fritz had an eventful day with a thunderstorm where lightning hit a transformer two streets over. The Duke Energy lineman was called away to deal with that so they stayed past thier normal hours getting as much done as they could without service to the house. Duke was able to return around 2030 to get the service restarted. Hector and Jerry came in the next morning and finished everything up. They moved the sprinkler and pump boxes around so everything fit back in that part of the wall. They plugged any holes that were left and kept the area clean. The mix-up was between the Orange County inspector and Duke, that's what kept the service from being turned on until later in the evening. One thing of note: 59 years of "I know a guy" electrical work may act goofy after professionals come and do an install. Palmer took the time to figure out where these issues were and straighten them out.
    Response from the owner:Thank you, Samuel, for your thoughtful review! We’re honored that Palmer Electric has been part of your home since 1967. Endre, Fritz, Hector, and Jerry truly appreciate your recognition. We’re glad our team could work through the challenges, resolve the issues, and complete everything professionally.

    Larry and Carlos are incredibly professional and very thorough. They went above and beyond during their inspection and in making the requested repairs in record time, coming in on a holiday to resolve our emergency issue. In short, they worked magic! Their work was of the highest quality, and we are so thankful!!
    Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words. While we truly appreciate the review, it appears it may have been intended for a different Palmer Electric. We want to make sure the correct company receives your feedback.

    Palmer Electric is hands down the best service company we have ever worked with! I have been blown away with the professionalism, quality, and service provided by Carlos and his team, Larry, and Daniel in the office. I am in the final stages of selling a property and Carlos led his team to do a thorough electrical inspection and fix a list of requests from the buyers. He found many things that the house inspector overlooked, and we were able to take care of many issues to bring the property up to code - safety wise. But what is more impressive, is that Carlos heard arcing from the main panel, realized we had a much bigger issue, communicated all of this quickly! He caught was noone else did and probably saved the property from a much bigger isseu! Larry professionally and immediately facilitated ALL of the behind the scenes maneuvering to get power restored in the same week. I know this was a record timewise, and while it might not be repeatable every time for issues outside their control- Larry took it upon himself to do all that was possible to align the utilities and the city, to make it the shortest possible duration. AND Carlos and his team went so far above and beyond to fix all the issues and restore power correctly. He met with pool technician, solar technician and all worked together to make sure all the systems would be working as needed! They are a top notch operation all around and would highly recommend. We have met many vendors in selling two houses in the Desert this spring and these guys are a standout in EVERY WAY!
    Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words. While we truly appreciate the review, it appears it may have been intended for a different Palmer Electric. We want to make sure the correct company receives your feedback.

    Palmer electric were exceptional jean and Jack did an amazing job they fix everything with care and they clean up after themselves. They explained what was happening to the electric. One thing I was surprised. I never saw black people working for Palmer electric before. Palmer you need to send the black workers out more to neighborhoods that you think that only white people will be accepted. And don't tell me that don't happen in your company. These 2 men are excellent workers. And Palmer electric. They need a raise of pay. Excellent jobs was done today . The job was done at Summit pointe Apartments
    Response from the owner:Sharon, we’re glad Jean and Jack provided excellent service and took the time to explain everything clearly. We appreciate your praise of their work and professionalism. Thank you for choosing Palmer Electric

    Palmer electric did a complete home rewire with updated service and electrical panel. We were very satisfied with all the work that was completed. Gene And Jack did a fabulous job and even picked up after themselves were very impressed with the small amount of drywall repair that was left even though it was a block home and not easy to rewire. I would highly recommend Palmer Electric and their team.

    Techs Joe and Anthony were wonderful. They replaced my damaged outlet and took the time to check all the nearby outlets to make sure this was an isolated problem. I was having knee surgery just 5 days later and J and A took away my worry about the outlet. I called the office and requested that they be listed as my preferred techs from now on. If you need electrical help use Palmer Electric. They have great prices and great techs.
    Response from the owner:Thank you, Sue, for your kind and thoughtful review! We’re so glad Joe and Anthony provided thorough care and peace of mind before your surgery. Your trust means so much to us, and we’ll be sure to note your preference. Wishing you a smooth recovery!

    Palmer came to install a 50 amp inlet to my house(for a generator plug in). Was able to get them scheduled quickly after I had gotten the job quoted. The techs that install my inlet were phenomenal and very well knowledgeable at the job and beyond. I was very pleased with the work and will continue to use palmer for any of my bigger projects later down the road.

    I had a bad neutral between the transformer and my house. They listened to what was going on and said it was not a problem they could fix. Palmer advised me how to contact OUC to get this resolved. That kind of integrity is refreshing.
    Response from the owner:Thank you, Tristan! We truly appreciate your kind words. Our goal is always to provide honest guidance, even when the issue falls outside our scope. We’re glad we could point you in the right direction, and we’re here if you ever need us in the future!
    I used Palmer Electric for the first time today and couldn’t be more pleased. From the dispatcher, Bobby, to the electrician, Thomas, the entire process was seamless and pleasant. Bobby ensured that the job requested was scheduled to my schedule and followed up with me. Thomas was on time, personable, and qualified to do the work. He took extra steps not required, but, did so to ensure the best job was done. The price charged was fair and I won’t hesitate to use Palmer Electric in the future.
    Response from the owner:Thank you, Douglas! We're so glad your first experience with Palmer Electric was a great one. Bobby and Thomas are truly dedicated to delivering excellent service, and we’re thrilled they made the process smooth and thorough. We appreciate your trust and look forward to serving you again!

    From the estimator to the person who arranged my permits and the two electricians who did the work, I could not be happier with this company. Instead of trying to oversell me a bunch of upgrades I didn’t need by telling me I’d need them to be code compliant, they gave me an honest, competitive quote, fulfilled by competent technicians and they fixed my issue. If my mom needed an electrician, these are the guys I’d hire.

    • Garage door opener electronics
    • Security and smart-home equipment
    • Televisions and computers

    Do I Need a Whole-House Surge Protector in Florida? Is it worth it? Pros, Cons & Benefits

    Lightning Protection System Winter Garden FL

    Lightning can cause electrical damage even when it does not strike your home directly. Nearby strikes can create powerful surges that travel through utility lines and enter your electrical system. Whole-home surge protection helps reduce that risk, but it does not replace a complete external lightning protection system or guarantee protection from a direct strike.

    Whole Home Surge Protector for Lightning Protection

    A whole-home surge protector adds protection at the electrical panel, helping limit excess voltage before it reaches circuits throughout your home. For sensitive electronics, point-of-use surge protectors can add another layer of protection closer to the device. Palmer Electric can help you understand how these layers work together and which approach fits your Winter Garden home.

    Whole House Surge Protection FAQs for Winter Garden Homeowners

    Smart Home Security Systems in Orlando & Central Florida

    For many Winter Garden homeowners, yes. Central Florida storms, lightning activity, utility switching, and power restoration can all create voltage spikes. Whole-home surge protection adds a layer of defense at the electrical panel to help protect connected equipment throughout the home.

    Yes. A nearby lightning strike can create a power surge that travels through utility lines and other electrical pathways into your home, potentially damaging appliances, electronics, HVAC equipment, and other connected devices. Whole-home surge protection can help limit that excess voltage before it reaches your equipment.

    Yes. When utility power is restored after an outage, voltage fluctuations or surges can occur. A whole-home surge protector can help limit excessive voltage before it travels through your Winter Garden home’s electrical system.

    They can. Newer homes often rely on sensitive electronics, smart-home technology, high-efficiency HVAC controls, and modern appliances that can be vulnerable to voltage spikes. Whole-home surge protection helps add another layer of protection for these systems.

    Often, yes. Before installation, an electrician should evaluate the panel condition, grounding and bonding, available space, and overall electrical setup to determine the safest and most appropriate installation method.

    Yes. A voltage spike can happen without causing a complete outage. You may not notice the surge when it occurs, but it can still damage sensitive electronics or gradually shorten the life of connected equipment.

    They can still be useful. Whole-home surge protection works at the electrical panel, while quality point-of-use surge protectors can add another layer of defense for sensitive or valuable electronics inside your Winter Garden home.

    Many whole-home surge protectors include a status light or indicator showing whether the device is operating properly. If the indicator changes, turns off, or displays a fault, have the unit inspected by a qualified electrician. If you are unsure whether your surge protector is still working, it is also a good idea to have it checked before storm season or after a major electrical event.
