"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!"

"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."

"Murphy Family Electric is an awesome company with very competent technicians and reasonable rates. They make the whole process pretty straightforward. I had used them to get my Tesla charger in 2018 (Cost: $799 including material). I was so impressed with their work that when I had a complex electrical job - installing a new 120v outlet requiring a new wire from the circuit breaker - I did not get any quotes but just booked them. That job was done very professionally as well (Cost: $949). Fast forward to Mar 2025, my tesla charger had problems with over heating and intermittent power loss. I called Murphy Family Electric and they sent a technician the same day who came and adjusted/cleaned the connections and spent 30 mins fixing the problem. And to my surprise the company did not even charge me anything for this. So on top of everything else you can add absolutely fantastic customer service to their list of attributes."

"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.

"I've used Davis & Green for almost 10 years and I would never use anyone else. They are always professional, honest and do an amazing job every time. For the work I had done this time, there was no exception - Nick was my technician and he and his partner were on time, did the work efficiently and super professionally. They even provided honest advice and guidance as I prepare to put my house on the market. Every technician I have worked with over the years provides the same great experience and I will continue to recommend all my friends and family in the Richmond area to use Davis & Green for their electrical needs - no matter how big or how small."

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.
