"I had a great experience with Baker Electrical. He called me back very promptly after I submitted my request and discussed my issue with me, setting up clear expectations of prices prior to coming out. We had a few different issues and he helped us figure out the best solution. He's knowledgeable and very helpful. We will definitely be returning for business in the future."

"Upon arriving on time Bryon introduced himself to me and gave me his business cards then ask me what could he do for me? Let me start off by saying that there aren't to many service technicians or repairmen that will explain to you what they are doing without making you feel that you are interrupting their work. Bryon provided me with an estimate that included all my discounts prior to making any repairs, after the installation/repair he cleaned up the area and hauled off all old electrical wiring and cables. My wife and I were very pleased with his service and will continue to use Mr. Electric in the near future! Thank you Mr. Electric!"

"Did a good job. I think if a 120v outlet is fixed. In 10 seconds, it should be $20.00 instead of 350.00. Especially if the other work done total is over $1.000.00, and you?re all done in 1 hour. Just my opinion. 3 stars for the price. The work is 5 stars."

"Brian was very professional and was able to resolve the issue quickly. However, it was a simple circuit that had 3 outlets supported by a 4th outlet that was a GFCI. I just purchased the home and was not familiar with this type of set-up. So when the 3 outlets went out we did not know there may be a 4th that had a reset button (which was in the garage). Brian found the issue reset the GFCI, and explained the problem and possible future safety hazards. The reason I did not give 5 stars and not 5 is because he charged me $200. I thought that was a bit high considering. I will use him again in the future and have already referred him to a friend."

"Got the additional power outlet installed in the bathroom within 3 days of my request. Jason came and gave me available options and I chose the least expensive option without having to run new wiring from the panel. I will call Jason again for future electrical jobs."

FAQs for electrical switches, outlets & fixtures install or repair projects in Portsmouth, 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.
