Question Answers

What electrical services do you offer for older homes in Chatham?

We specialize in updating older homes to meet modern safety and convenience standards. Our services include full home rewiring, adding new receptacles to reduce reliance on extension cords, upgrading electrical panels, and installing new lighting fixtures. With our background as certified electrical inspectors, we ensure all work meets current Virginia building codes, addressing common local issues like outdated wiring that can't handle today's appliance loads.

You mention being a certified electrical inspector. How does that benefit me as a homeowner?

My dual role as a practicing electrician and a certified inspector for the City of Danville provides a significant advantage. It means I have an in-depth, up-to-date understanding of the National Electrical Code and local amendments. For you, this translates to work that is done right the first time, passes inspection smoothly, and ensures the long-term safety and reliability of your home's electrical system. It's peace of mind built into our service.

My outdoor lights aren't working, and I suspect a damaged underground cable—can you help?

Absolutely. Damaged underground cables are a common issue in our area due to soil conditions, landscaping, or wildlife. We handle outdoor lighting repairs by safely diagnosing the fault, often using specialized equipment to locate the break without extensive digging. We then repair or replace the damaged cable and reconnect your lighting, ensuring it's properly protected and grounded to prevent future problems. We also install new, energy-efficient outdoor lighting systems designed for our local climate.
