Terry’s Electric, Inc. (TEI) was founded in 1979 by B. Terence “Terry” and Jeanne Quigley. For 40 years, this Kissimmee-based company has provided the Central Florida community and beyond with commercial, residential, and utility electrical work and service. They are a family company that prides themselves on quality and safety. Here is an overview of some of their projects and services.
Commercial
Terry’s Electric has been trusted with major installations at hotel, retail, resort, school, office, government, healthcare, warehouse, and retail locations all around Florida. Office projects include Toho Water Authority’s LEED-certified headquarters building, while resort projects have included the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa and Universal Orlando’s new Cabana Bay Resort. TEI collaborates closely with all contractors on a commercial project from pre-construction, through bidding, to procurement.
Residential
Terry’s Electric is here for residents, too. From single, custom homes to multi-family units and apartments, they are proud of the reputation they have developed with large-scale builders, as well as the product they provide for smaller family homes. They work with their customers from the planning stages when installing devices and wiring in a new home. They are also happy to provide home up grades such as security systems, surround sound pre-wire, etc.
Service
In addition to large- and small-scale installation, Terry’s Electric can repair electrical wiring in a home, office, or business. They strive to complete fast, quality service at a fair price. No job is too small, and they are only a phone call away 24/7. Common services include power restoration, preventative maintenance or repair, renovations, and code issues. If necessary, they will troubleshoot a situation until it is solved.
Utility
On a much larger scale, utilities companies throughout the state hire Terry’s Electric to install and upgrade their substations and equipment. They are prepared to work on high voltage substations, such as KUA’s Hansel Substation in Kissimmee, and FPL’s Mars Substation in Cape Canaveral, safely and efficiently. They also construct new substations, make renovations on live substations, and expand or replace substations. TEI has invested heavily in their Utility Division with the addition of a fleet of bucket trucks, diggers, cranes, and lifts, which are necessary for work on street lighting, parking lighting, meter exchanges, underground duct banks, underground cabling, and pad mounted transformers. TEI is also diligent about keeping up with continued education, training, and certification for their utilities crews.

At their July board of directors meeting, the Downtown Kissimmee Area Council awarded the June Back the Blue Award to Officer Eddie Cruz with the Problem Oriented Policing Unit at Kissimmee Police Department. Officer Cruz is a member of the SWAT Team and is dedicated to training younger officers. He has volunteered train officers on bicycle policies and to coordinate civilian role-players during the annual active shooter training. Officer Cruz also takes time to mentor youth in our community through the Boys and Girls Club, the City of Kissimmee Summer Camp, and the Police Explorer Program.
As the Back the Blue recipient, Officer Cruz was awarded a unique challenge coin designed by 2019 Chairman of the Kissimmee Chamber board Rob Rosen, and $100 in gift cards to Downtown entertainment and dining establishments. The Back the Blue program began this year as an initiative of Chairman Rosen. Each month the Downtown Kissimmee Area Council and Osceola Resort Area Council honor Law Enforcement Officers of the Month from the Kissimmee Police Department and the Osceola County Sheriff’s Office, respectively.
Governor Ron DeSantis signed House Bill 1099 allowing certain restaurants in Downtown Kissimmee’s Redevelopment District to be issued a special liquor license by the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco of the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR).
The bill only applies to “bona fide restaurants” in the district that occupy at least 1,800 square feet of contiguous space. Also, eligible restaurants must be equipped to serve meals to at least 80 people at one time and derive at least 51 percent of their gross food and beverage revenue from the sale of food and nonalcoholic beverages during the first 60-day operating period and each 12-month working period.
