On the board
Where in Orange County can I book electrical?
The cities on the board today are Orlando (333,888 residents), Winter Park (30,444) and Maitland (19,511). 63% of the county's 1,528,002 residents live outside any city; for an address there, or in a city not yet on the board such as Apopka, send it first and HQ will say whether 1Stop can cover it.
Permits
Does electrical work need a permit in Orange County?
Orange County requires an electrical permit for any electrical construction, for installing any wiring, apparatus or equipment, and for any extension of or change to existing wiring for light, heat or power (section 9-86(a) of its code).
In unincorporated Orange County, permits come from the county's Division of Building Safety. Inside Orlando, Winter Park and Maitland, the city's own building department issues them, so the street address decides which office a electrical job goes through.

Urgency
When is electrical an emergency in Orange County?
The request form treats sparking, a burning smell or exposed wiring as an emergency. There is no emergency response target yet: HQ calls back to say whether 1Stop can cover it, and a target is published once an approved vendor covers electrical work in the county.
A unit with no power at all needs one question first: is the building next door dark too? If it is, the outage is probably the utility's. If only the unit is dark, it is an electrical call, urgent when a resident is affected. A dead outlet or a breaker that keeps tripping is same day.
Licensing
What license does a electrical vendor need in Orange County?
Electrical work takes a certified or registered electrical contractor license from the Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board.
For a property in Orange County, that means a certified license, or a registration that covers the property's city or county. 1Stop holds the license on file before it dispatches electrical work.
