"James came out to price install of a box to plug in my portable generator. After we started talking and me asking questions James was able to give me an outstanding price on a whole house Generac generator with panel upgrade and included a whole house surge protector. They ran into additional costs with running the gas line but James kept to his word and honored the original price! The crew were professional and proficient in their work! Marcie was outstanding with communication and explaining any questions I had! I would definitely recommend this company and would use J&M for any future electrical needs!"

"Electrical Solutions was wonderful and I can't recommend them enough! David answered the phone when I called and was able to get someone out the next afternoon (no easy feat, every other company I called told me it would be a month or more before they could come out!) And it's not because this is not a busy company, his phone was ringing off the hook! He just understood how important it was to get someone out soon and made it happen for me. I expected to have to clean up after the electrician was done, but I could not have been more wrong! The electrician completely cleaned up after himself and left everything as neat as a pin. I had no idea what the job was going to cost (as I mentioned, I was practically desperate) and I was thrilled and so grateful when I got their bill. Very, very reasonable for the work done. I will never call another electrical company and I recommend you don't either!"

"Installed ceiling fixture and 2 new wall switches. don't know if I could have gotten the job cheaper because I hired the first one who came because I was OK with the price. I filed the request late Wednesday night and he called, came over, and did the work Thursday morning. Be warned, he tried to sell me a electric box surge protector for $500. I did not get that because I don't know if I need that. Also, offered a maintenance plan but I did not get that either."

"Simply put, Scott does electrical amazing work. Not only was he fast, his work was precise and cleanly executed. Showed exceptional electrical knowledge (as expected) and was very thorough in pricing, in the work. Saved me quite a bit of money for DIY suggestions too. Even went as far to replace a broken switch during a Bathroom lighting install! My wife and I plan on hiring again no questions asked."

"The electrician showed up on time and eager to get started. He swiftly eliminated the breaker box as being at fault, and systematically tracked down two separate faults...one at an outlet and another at a switch in the attic. I'm an electronics technician by trade, so I know a little bit about electricity, but these problems had eluded me for weeks...the Murphy Family Services electrician found both problems in less than an hour. If I ever have electrical problems again in the future, I'm not wasting time troubleshooting on my own...I'm contacting Murphy!"

"Over all, very well.  I called on 7/20 for an estimate and received a prompt call back from the owner.  We arranged to have the work done the next day.  I discussed the job with the owner, Mike, and he made several suggestions which made the installation better and a little less expensive.  On Saturday, the electrician, Jeff,  called about 15 minutes prior to arrival and showed up on time for the work.  He was extremely neat, covered all the bedroom furniture, thoroughly cleaned up after he was finished and answered every question we had along the way.
Overall, Cole Electric did quality work at a fair price and we will certainly use them again.

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Petersburg, VA

To select and hire an electrician for your light switch installation, start by evaluating candidates as you would for any skilled position. Ask detailed questions, request a written quote, and verify their licensing credentials. This careful screening prevents unexpected fees and ensures every aspect of the installation, including any drywall repairs, complies with code.

A light switch can malfunction due to compromised wiring or overheating conditions. Faulty connections and excess heat diminish the switch’s performance. If you hear crackling, popping, or hissing sounds when toggling the switch, this indicates active electrical faults that pose a safety hazard and demand immediate professional inspection. Prompt attention prevents further damage and ensures reliable operation.

Installing a light switch takes 30 minutes or less, on average. The installation time depends on the switch type, with dimmer switches requiring additional time compared to standard on-off switches. While the hardware replacement might be completed in 15 minutes, it's essential to adhere to safety protocols, like turning off the circuit breaker and verifying there's no power, for a safe and code-compliant installation.
