Life changed in myriad ways during the pandemic. Some changes brought opportunity and for motivated individuals, it was the ideal time to start a new business, including Chander Strong, who launched CSS Electric, LLC in 2020. 

Now a master electrician and electrical contractor, Chandler is the third generation of his family to work in the field, having followed in the footsteps of his dad, Scott, and his grandfather, Wayne, who were also electrical contractors.

CSS Electric is a true family business. In the field, the team consists of Chandler, his brother, Chase Strong, and his cousin, Beau Parish. Meanwhile, in the office, Chandler’s wife, Alexis, stays on top of all the scheduling and bookkeeping. 

Over the last five years CSS Electric has become known for detail-oriented, timely service and transparent pricing that make customer satisfaction a priority. Customers find they can rely on Chandler and his team, which leads to recommendations and repeat business.

Much of their work is residential, but the company also handles industrial and commercial jobs.

“If it relates to electrical work, we do it, and when we tell people we’re going to be there, we’re there,” says Chandler. 

Among the services offered are:

• Diagnosis and repair of electrical issues

• Installation of outlets and lights

• Spa hook-ups

• Pool equipment wiring

• EV charging stations  

• Low-voltage lighting

Chandler is excited that his industry is always changing and keeps up with the latest advances in technology to better serve his customers. 

A Florida native, Chandler has lived in Lake County his whole life and graduated from Leesburg High in 2013. Chandler and Alexis live in Lady Lake and are the parents of Layla, 6 and Waylon, 2. Their third child is due this month, but they decided to wait until the baby arrives to find out whether they’re welcoming another son or daughter to the family. 

The couple is active in their church, and Chandler also coaches his daughter Layla’s soccer team at Lady Lake Recreational, where he’s been a coach for five seasons.

CSS Electric, LLC is proud to be local electricians that the community can trust.

“Whether you need electrical installations, repairs, or upgrades, we have the expertise to handle it all,” says Chandler.
