"Cole Electric has good communication with the customer from your first inquiry, email & text follow up . They requested photos of what I need to address so they understand all aspects of the job. The office contacted me to say the electrician could arrive early. The 2 electricians were professional knowledgeable and addressed my concerns. The ceiling fan installed by someone else was missing screws on the down rod as well as other things not done correctly. They replaced the missing screws, rebuilt the fan and reinstalled it. No more wobble. The 2 under cabinet light fixtures were installed perfectly, no extra cables showing. You get what you pay for and Cole Electric electricians do the job right the first time. I recommend this company and will use them again."

"I got my first call from Brad, the owner of Baker Electrical, literally less than two minutes after I had posted my request for an electrician on Angi's List. I do most jobs around my house by myself, including most electrical work, but this job was going to be beyond my level of experience. Brad came out to my home the next day to take a look at what was needed and work up an estimate. During that visit it was clear to me that Brad was exactly the kind of guy I was looking for. When he returned to do the job a few days later, he confirmed, and surpassed my expectations. I could not have been more pleased with his work, his attention to detail and his interactions with me. I will definitely call Baker Electrical the next time I need something done, and I will be very happy to refer him to anyone that might be in need of quality electrical work."

"Opened door to breaker box to see if any were tripped. Did NOT remove panel or trace short at box. Removed switch cover plate and loosened switch in question. Told me it was a 3 way switch and so we went to another room and flipped some switches to find out that one of the switches was in the off position causing the lights to stay off. Pushed the switch and all was good. The effort took less than 30 minutes total. Invoiced $215. Nice guy but charge was excessive."

"Jeff arrived promptly at 8:00 am as promised and installed required permanent power for dehumidifier and lighting as part of crawl space encapsulation. Jeff is extremely knowledgeable and goes out of his way to ensure the customer is completely satisfied with the job at hand. He also installed a separate GFCI receptacle for my irrigation system pump. I paid for this portion of the job. Very impressive install from start to finish. I would definitely hire Jeff for other work."

"Everything went very well. James was fantastic! Very professional and friendly. Gave advice on how to fix minor electrical issues on my own. Goes above and beyond by letting u know other electrical problems found within the home (he took a picture and showed me....problem was in the attic). Overall, I would used this company again."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Norfolk, VA

A whole-house surge protector blocks voltage spikes from lightning, grid issues, or even large appliances before they can fry your wiring or electronics. By diverting excess current at the main panel, it shields everything from your HVAC to your phone chargers and can extend the life of pricey appliances. Homeowners in storm-prone regions or with older panels see the biggest payoff, but any home that relies on sensitive electronics benefits.

Most whole-house surge protectors work for two to three years. Low-level spikes—too small to notice—hit your panel every day and slowly wear down the internal components. Once the unit’s capacity is depleted, it can’t prevent a larger surge, so plan to replace it on schedule (or sooner if a major lightning strike occurs) to keep your electronics and HVAC equipment safe.

A surge protector begins guarding your circuits the moment an electrician snaps it into place. Whether the spike originates from a nearby lightning strike or your fridge kicking on, the protector shunts the extra current to ground before it can reach outlets or hard-wired systems, such as your AC. That instant response is why a small upfront cost can save thousands in appliance repairs.

The unit mounts on or next to your main electrical panel. Type 1 models sit on the supply side, catching outside spikes before they hit the breaker. Type 2 devices snap inside the panel and tame surges that start within the house. Either way, placement at the panel lets the protector guard every circuit at once.

Plan to swap the device every three to five years—or sooner if you upgrade your panel, add high-demand appliances, or notice flickering lights and tripped breakers. Relying on a maze of power strips is another red flag that your current setup isn’t keeping up. Replacing the surge protector at these milestones keeps your electrical system on safe footing.
