What Chinchor Electric does

Chinchor Electric, Inc. is a family-owned, full-service electrical contracting company headquartered in Orange City, Florida. Founded by Timothy Z. Chinchor in 1986 and incorporated in 1991, the company provides industrial electrical, traffic signalization, and water/wastewater treatment plant electrical services to commercial, industrial, and government customers throughout the State of Florida, with a workforce of 195 employees and a portfolio of 2,000+ completed projects over its 30+ year operating history.

The company operates three core service lines. The Industrial Electrical Division handles commercial and industrial contracting, including new construction, retrofits, maintenance, and service calls, staffed by Master Electricians and Journeymen Electricians. The Traffic Signalization Division executes highway lighting, traffic signal, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), and drilled shaft base work, leveraging specialized aerial equipment reaching up to 71 feet and FDOT Traffic Signal Prequalification held continuously since 2003. The Water & Wastewater Treatment Plant services line delivers specialized electrical work on pump stations, generators, lift stations, Motor Control Centers, Variable Speed Drivers, and PLC-integrated power and control distribution systems. Underlying technical capabilities include communication and integration control infrastructure, I/O logic systems, and turnkey fiber optic, digital, and analogue installation—originally developed through theme park ride integration work at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure from 1991 to 1999 and later repurposed for utility and roadway applications.

The business operates on a project-based revenue model, contracting directly with government agencies, utilities, and general contractors as both prime contractor and subcontractor. Long-tenure customer relationships are a defining feature, including 15+ years of service to Volusia County Signal Division and a partnership with Florida Surety Bonds since 2003. The company plans geographic expansion with a second office in St. Augustine and serves named customers including Danus Utilities, Toho Water Authority, Hillsborough County, City of Altamonte Springs, and a base of regional general contractors and engineering firms.
