In the late 1800s, the Tropical hotel was built in Kissimmee, situated on the shore of Lake Tohopekaliga. The hotel was three and a half stories high and had 80 guest rooms that could accommodate 180 guests. The visitors at the Tropical Hotel had the opportunity to go swimming, fishing, boating, and golfing. In 1897, J. Hamilton Gillespie had designed a nine-hole golf course on the property. The hotel was open only during the winter months when there were many tourists in town. When tourist season ended, the hotel staff closed the hotel, hopped on the train to go north to another hotel that they operated only during the summer months, and return to Kissimmee in the winter. The hotel had undergone several exterior paint changes and name changes over the course of its life. The Tropical Hotel changed its name to the Hotel Kissimmee but later changed it again back to the Tropical just before it burned down in April of 1906. The Tropical Hotel/Hotel Kissimmee can count President Chester A. Arthur, John Jacob Astor, Thomas Edison, and the Vanderbilt Family among it, prestigious guest.

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.
