Smith & Keene Electric Service - Chesapeake's Experienced Electrical Company

Our thorough electrical inspection checks your entire system for safety and code compliance. This includes testing outlets and GFCIs, especially important in our area where water intrusion can be a concern, inspecting your circuit panel for overloads, verifying proper grounding, and checking wiring connections that can cause flickering lights. We provide a detailed report and prioritize any safety issues, using parts from our local warehouse to expedite repairs.

As a full-service provider since 1947, we understand how home systems interconnect. Our plumbing inspection looks for leaks, drain issues, water pressure problems, and the condition of water heaters. Our unique perspective allows us to spot potential issues where plumbing and electrical systems meet, such as for sump pumps or water heater electrical connections, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of your home's critical infrastructure.

Flickering lights in our area are often linked to two common issues. First, loose wiring connections in outlets, switches, or your main panel can interrupt the electrical flow. Second, Hampton Roads' humid climate and storms can lead to moisture intrusion in outdoor fixtures or outlets, causing corrosion and poor connections. Our technicians are experienced with these local problems. We'll safely diagnose the source, often starting with a detailed inspection of your affected circuits and outdoor fixtures, and make the necessary repairs to restore stable, safe power.
