Terry's Electric

What Terry's Electric does

Terry's Electric, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned electrical contracting company founded in 1979 by B. Terence "Terry" and Jeanne Quigley, headquartered at 600 N Thacker Ave, Kissimmee, Florida. The company delivers commercial, residential, utility, and service electrical work across Central Florida, holding Florida state electrical contractor licenses EC-0001017 and EC-13012279. Its project portfolio spans public and private new construction, renovations, and 24/7 emergency service across K-12 schools, universities, fire stations, emergency operations centers, hotels, transportation facilities, substations, and research/manufacturing facilities.

The company's core offering is end-to-end electrical contracting: power distribution, interior and exterior lighting systems, fire alarm and emergency lighting, backup generators, specialized wiring for laboratories and advanced facilities, and increasingly smart-building and net-zero energy integration. Notable technical deployments include Florida's first net-zero energy high school (NeoCity Academy, 650 solar panels generating 228 kW), a 17-story hotel requiring 225 miles of wire and 7,470 light fixtures, and a NASA substation. The firm holds the ABC Eagle Award (2024), AIA Orlando Sustainability Award, and US Green Building Council Climate Champion Award.

Revenue is generated through project-based contracts won via competitive bidding on public infrastructure and direct engagement with general contractors (Wharton-Smith, Gilbane, Balfour Beatty, Turner Construction, Brasfield & Gorrie, CPPI, Williams Company, Pirtle Construction, Arnco Construction) and property developers. Quote-based pricing is determined by project scope and complexity. A separate residential service channel — phone and website-based service requests with 24/7 emergency response — provides recurring service revenue. The company is privately held with no external funding, no disclosed revenue, and no public listing.
