The rankings in detail
1Top pick
Number 1: Wire Wizard Electrical Services
5.0★Google rating from 388 reviews · verified July 8, 2026
What reviewers mention: fair pricing, ceiling fan installs, outlet installs, prompt response.
Wire Wizard Electrical Services holds the top position on this list with a 5.0 Google rating drawn from 388 reviews, the largest review count of any electrician on this page by a wide margin. A perfect average across that many reviews is what lifts it to number one in our ranking, which weighs the score and the crowd behind it together. Reviewers point to fair pricing, ceiling fan and outlet installations, and a prompt response when they called. Its base is a North Boundary Avenue address in DeLand, a local shop rather than a regional chain routing calls in from elsewhere. We looked up its Florida license, Certified Electrical Contractor EC13009487, and found it active with the state on July 8, 2026. Even a record this clean earns a written estimate before work begins, worth asking of any electrician on the first visit.
2
Number 2: RTD Electric, Inc
5.0★Google rating from 82 reviews · verified July 8, 2026
Service-area business serving DeLand and Volusia County, FL (no public storefront)
What reviewers mention: weekend availability, breaker repair, electrical troubleshooting.
RTD Electric ranks second with a perfect 5.0 Google rating across 82 reviews, the second-largest review count on this page. A flawless average paired with that solid review base is what puts it ahead of the strong 4.8-rated companies below, since rating counts first in our order and review volume second. RTD works as a service-area business covering DeLand and the surrounding Volusia County, so there is no walk-in storefront and jobs are booked by phone. Reviewers and its profile describe breaker repair and electrical troubleshooting, and its listed hours point to weekend availability, which is worth confirming when you call. Its Certified Electrical Contractor license, EC13007216, was active in the registry we checked on July 8, 2026. Skim its latest reviews to see whether that focus fits your job, and get the quote in writing before any work starts.
3
Number 3: Calkins Electric Construction Co
4.8★Google rating from 77 reviews · verified July 8, 2026
Calkins Electric Construction ranks third with a 4.8 Google rating from 77 reviews, the third-largest review count on this page. Within the cluster of 4.8-rated companies here, it lands highest because more reviews stand behind that average, and review volume is the tiebreaker once the rating matches. Its reviewers point to panel upgrades, smoke detector installations, thorough inspections, and prompt service. You will find it at a South Woodland Boulevard address in DeLand, a main road through town, which marks it as a local operation rather than a regional dispatcher. Its Certified Electrical Contractor license, EC13011912, was active with the state when we checked on July 8, 2026. For a panel or inspection question, it helps to read how the crew handled similar work and to get what the job covers and costs in writing first.
4
Number 4: ELITE ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING, LLC
4.8★Google rating from 75 reviews · verified July 8, 2026
What reviewers mention: fair pricing, recessed lighting installs, ceiling fan installs, meter box repair.
Elite Electrical Contracting ranks fourth with a 4.8 Google rating from 75 reviews, sitting just behind Calkins in the group of 4.8-rated companies and separated by only two reviews. Review volume is what settles that close gap, the honest reason for the order rather than any difference in rating. Reviewers point to fair pricing, recessed lighting and ceiling fan installations, and meter box repair. Its DeLand base is a Glenwood Road address. Its state credential is a Certified Specialty Contractor registration, license ES12001657, which the state showed active on July 8, 2026. That specialty registration covers a defined electrical scope rather than the broader Certified Electrical Contractor license most companies here hold, so confirm the work you need falls inside it. Call to ask about your specific job, and get the scope and price in writing up front.
5
Number 5: Vincent Anthony Electric
4.8★Google rating from 64 reviews · verified July 8, 2026
Vincent Anthony Electric ranks fifth with a 4.8 Google rating from 64 reviews. It is one of four 4.8-rated companies here, with Calkins and Elite above it and Path below. Those 64 reviews trail the two ranked higher and top the 53 at Path, which is how review volume settles it into fifth. Reviewers describe electrical upgrades, thorough diagnostics, clear explanations of the problem, and prompt service, the kind of detail worth reading in full before you book. It runs from a Cottage Hill Drive address in DeLand, with its own website linked in the card above. In our July 8, 2026 check, its Certified Electrical Contractor license, EC13008072, came back active. A steady 4.8 across this many reviews is a dependable signal, though it still pays to see how the company handles a job that goes sideways and to have the cost and scope written down first.
6
Number 6: Path Electrical Contractors, INC
4.8★Google rating from 53 reviews · verified July 8, 2026
Path Electrical Contractors ranks sixth with a 4.8 Google rating from 53 reviews, the lowest review count within the 4.8-rated group, which is why it closes out that tier once volume breaks the tie. On the day we checked, a live local-pack pull briefly showed 4.9 from 54 reviews, the kind of few-minutes drift that is normal for Google data; we publish the 4.8 from 53 our primary source recorded and flag the wobble for transparency. Reviewers describe panel upgrades, wiring repair, outlet replacement, and responsive scheduling. It operates from a North Woodland Boulevard address in DeLand, and the card above links to its own site. The state showed its Certified Electrical Contractor license, EC13006086, active on July 8, 2026. If your job is panel or wiring work, the recent reviews are the fastest way to judge fit.
7
Number 7: HH Electric LLC
5.0★Google rating from 17 reviews · verified July 8, 2026
HH Electric carries a perfect 5.0 Google rating, though that average rests on 17 reviews, a smaller sample than the 4.8-rated companies above it. Because our order weighs review volume next to the rating, a flawless score built on fewer reviews lands here rather than near the top; a perfect average on a modest count can mark a genuinely strong newer operator or simply an early record. It still finishes ahead of the three businesses below it, beating Quality Electric on rating and Cochran on review count. It operates from a North Boston Avenue address in DeLand, with its own website linked in the card above. Reviewers point to fair pricing, panel and wiring repair, and a prompt response. We confirmed its Certified Electrical Contractor license, EC13013715, active with the state on July 8, 2026. Read the reviews yourself before you commit.
8
Number 8: Quality Electric of Central Florida
4.9★Google rating from 18 reviews · verified July 8, 2026
What reviewers mention: panel repair, panel replacement, remodel wiring, service upgrades.
Quality Electric of Central Florida ranks eighth with a 4.9 Google rating across 18 reviews. It sits just behind HH Electric, which holds a perfect 5.0 at a comparable review count, and just ahead of the two businesses below it, so the margins here are thin, decided by rating and volume together. Its listed web presence is a Facebook page rather than a dedicated site, so the card links its Google Business Profile for contact details. Its services point to panel repair, panel replacement, remodel wiring, and service upgrades, work that leans toward larger electrical projects rather than small fixes. On July 8, 2026, its Florida Certified Electrical Contractor license EC0003020 showed active with the state. With only 18 reviews on record, read them in full and ask directly about a job like yours before booking.
9
Number 9: Cochran Electric, Inc.
5.0★Google rating from 10 reviews · verified July 8, 2026
What reviewers mention: breaker panel replacement, permit pulling, clean work.
Cochran Electric ranks ninth on a perfect 5.0 Google rating, though it rests on 10 reviews, the smallest verified review count on this page. Our scoring also weighs how many people stand behind a rating, so even a flawless average settles near the bottom when the sample is this small. It still ranks ahead of Taranto Electric, whose larger review base is offset by a lower rating. The shop is owner-operated by a master electrician and runs from a Helen Avenue address in DeLand; with no dedicated website on file, we link its Google Business Profile for contact details. Reviewers note breaker panel replacement, permit pulling, and clean work on site. We found its Certified Electrical Contractor license, EC13010926, active with the state on July 8, 2026. A five-star record on 10 reviews can mark a careful small shop, so read each one closely before you decide.
10
Number 10: Taranto Electric Inc
4.7★Google rating from 18 reviews · verified July 8, 2026
What reviewers mention: utility pole installs, commercial panel service, parking lot lighting, prompt response.
Taranto Electric rounds out this list at number ten with a 4.7 Google rating across 18 reviews. It ranks last mainly on rating: 4.7 is the lowest average on the page, and under our scoring that outweighs a review count that is not itself the lowest here. Taranto leans commercial and industrial, with listed work that spans utility pole installations, commercial panel service, and parking lot lighting, so it is worth a call when your project runs larger than a typical home repair. Its DeLand base is a North Woodland Boulevard address, and you can reach its site through the card above. The state showed its Certified Electrical Contractor license, EC13005753, active on July 8, 2026. For a commercial job, ask about similar projects it has handled, and pin down the scope and price in writing before anyone starts.
How did we verify these electricians?
Every electrician here was checked against live Google Business Profile data on July 8, 2026: the star rating, the number of reviews behind it, and the listed location or service area. We rank by criteria we publish, not by who pays, and no listing on this page is sponsored.
We start from Google Business Profile data because it is public, current, and hard to fake at volume. For each electrician we record the star rating, the total number of reviews, the listed address or service area, and the phone number, then confirm the profile is live on the day we mark the page verified.
Our scoring turns those signals into a rank. Rating carries the most weight, followed by review volume, so a perfect average built on a handful of reviews will not automatically outrank a strong average across hundreds. Response behavior, years in business, and license status also count when we have verified them. For this group of ten, every business holds a state license we confirmed and none published a founding date we could confirm, so those fields sat equal and the order came down to rating and review count. The full weighting lives on our methodology page. No electrician pays to appear here, and none can buy a higher position.
How can I find a reputable electrician in DeLand?
Start with signals you can check yourself: a steady Google rating across a real number of reviews, a DeLand address or clearly stated service area, and a specialty that fits your job. Then confirm the state license and insurance directly with the electrician before any work begins.
A high rating means more when it holds up across many reviews, so weigh the average and the volume together rather than trusting a perfect score built on ten ratings. Look for a local DeLand address or a clearly stated service area, a sign the electrician actually works nearby rather than routing calls from far off.
Match the specialty to your problem. The businesses here list work such as panel upgrades, breaker and wiring repair, ceiling fan and outlet installs, recessed lighting, and diagnostics, and not every electrician does all of it. Read a few recent reviews for how a company handles a job that goes sideways, not just the headline number. Confirm the license and insurance directly, and you can check any Florida electrical license yourself on the state DBPR website by name or number. Get the scope and the price in writing before work starts. Those steps protect you more than any ranking can.
What does an electrician charge per hour in Florida?
There is no single hourly figure, and we do not publish rate estimates without a verified local source. What you pay depends on the job, the parts involved, whether a permit is needed, and whether the visit is scheduled or an emergency call. Ask each electrician for a written quote first.
Electrical pricing varies too much to reduce to one hourly rate, and we would rather say that plainly than print a number we cannot stand behind. Swapping an outlet, adding a ceiling fan, chasing down a dead circuit, upgrading a panel, and rewiring a room are very different jobs, and each spans a wide range depending on materials, access, and how much of the work needs a licensed hand.
Emergency and after-hours calls usually cost more than scheduled visits. Panel upgrades and service changes often require a county permit and an inspection, which add to the total and to the timeline. The dependable way to know what a job will cost is to get a written estimate from more than one electrician before any work starts, and to ask whether the quote covers parts, labor, and permits. When we have verified pricing data from a credible local source, we will add it here rather than guess.
Why does a Florida electrical license matter for DeLand homeowners?
In Florida, electrical work is regulated by the state, and a certified electrical contractor has met licensing, insurance, and code requirements a handyman has not. All ten businesses here hold a license we looked up and confirmed active with the state on July 8, 2026.
Florida licenses electrical contractors through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation, and the license type tells you what a company is cleared to do. Nine of the ten here hold a Certified Electrical Contractor license, the full statewide credential, carrying an EC prefix. Elite Electrical Contracting holds a Certified Specialty Contractor registration, an ES prefix, which covers a defined electrical scope rather than the broader certified category. Both are current and active.
We looked up each license number directly on the state DBPR website and confirmed the entity name, the license type, and an active status on July 8, 2026. Each business card above shows its number, so you can repeat the check yourself in a minute. A license is not a promise of good work, and it does not replace reading reviews, but it does confirm the state holds this contractor to insurance, code, and continuing-education rules. Ask to see it, and confirm coverage, before work begins.
