Electrical Contractor Colonial Heights VA | Call F. Scott Biggs Electrical Service

Our thorough electrical inspection for Colonial Heights homes includes checking your main service panel for proper amperage and safety, testing outlets and GFCIs, ensuring all wiring connections are secure, and verifying that your system meets current National Electrical Code standards. We pay special attention to issues common in our area, like evaluating circuits that may cause flickering lights. The goal is to identify any potential hazards or inefficiencies and provide you with a clear, prioritized report of our findings.

Flickering lights in Colonial Heights can stem from several causes, some simple and some more serious. It could be a loose bulb or a faulty light fixture, but it often points to a loose connection in your wiring or an overloaded circuit. Given the age of some homes in our area, outdated wiring is a common culprit. This is not just an annoyance; loose connections can arc and create a fire hazard. We recommend having it checked promptly. Our electricians can diagnose the root cause safely and recommend the right fix to ensure your home's electrical system is operating safely.

We help Colonial Heights residents prepare for storms and outages by professionally installing generator transfer switches. This critical device safely connects a portable or standby generator to your home's electrical panel, preventing dangerous backfeed into utility lines—a major safety risk for you and utility workers. Our licensed electricians ensure the transfer switch is correctly sized for your home's needs and installed to all local and national electrical codes, giving you peace of mind that your backup power will work reliably and safely when you need it most.
