"First of all, Greg Emert answered the phone on January 2nd (New Years Day observed holiday). He was honest about his workload and called back later in the day when he couldn't make it. He showed up early today as promised, and quickly isolated and repaired the problem. He charged me a fair price and didn't try to make it into a large project. Very decent guy, very professional. I'd hire him again."

"Zach and Crew put in a new electric panel in our home. They were so thorough and explained everything to my husband and I, The panel was marked so we knew where every circuit breaker went too. They also did added electrical wall units, hooked up baseboard heater, redirected electric work from an outside porch. Their prices are reasonable and you don't have to call them back because it is done right the first time around!!!"

Wisler Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric proudly serves Roanoke and surrounding area, all of Franklin County, and everyone located around Smith Mountain Lake. \n \nWhen our dad Daniel Wisler put our name on his business back in 1986, he committed to doing what was fair and right. He led by example and he taught us to do the same. He taught us to stand up, work hard through adversity, and to take responsibility for our mistakes. It's not easy, but it's the difference between a business that survives and a business that thrives. \n \nWislers' foundation of beliefs lights our way, from policies we live by to the people we hire.

FAQs for electrical service projects in Salem, VA

Always start by confirming the pro’s license number, insurance coverage, and experience level. Visit the electrician’s website, scan recent customer reviews, and verify credentials with your local labor department. Request proof of liability insurance and at least two references that you can contact. These quick checks take only a few minutes but go a long way toward ensuring safe, code-compliant work and protecting your home in the event of an issue.

Grouping several electrical jobs into one appointment means you pay a single service-call fee and one set of travel expenses. Instead of asking a pro to return three separate times for outlets, switches, and fixtures, have everything tackled in one visit. The electrician stays productive, and you avoid extra trip charges, often shaving a sizable chunk off the final bill without compromising quality.

DIY electrical work can be dangerous and, in many areas, illegal without a license. One miswired connection risks shocks, fires, or expensive damage. Licensed electricians carry the right tools, follow local code, and know how to shut down power safely before they start. Hiring a pro may cost more upfront, but it protects your home, family, and insurance coverage in the long run.
