"I cannot say enough good things about the electrical work done by Cole Electric. I purchased a stackable washer/dryer but forgot to check that I had an outlet for the dryer close enough to where I wanted to place the units. This became critical because the installers were coming on Monday and this was the Friday before. Cole Electric was rated high on Angie's List so I called and Scott Cole answered. He had one of his electricians come out that same day to assess the job and give me an estimate. They said that they could get started at 0800 the next morning and arrived promptly at 0800 on Saturday morning. Since it was for a dryer, I needed to have a dedicated circuit added to my circuit box and new conduit and lines run. The entire job only took a short time including clean up (yes they cleaned up) and I was ready for the installers to hook up my units on Monday. They charged exactly what they estimated. I intend to use them again for some other electrical needs in my house. I have recommended them to many of my neighbors and friends. I wholeheartedly give them an "A" rating for the work they did for me."

"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."

"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."

"I have used Worley for a variety of projects with excellent results, but I particularly want to shine a light on the most recent toilet installation. Many years ago, another plumbing company told us that there was a problem pipe in a walls that clogged when we used the two fixtures upstairs for #2. To fix them would have cost us as much as $15000 between the actual repair and putting in new drywall and wallpaper. So, we had a couple of guys come to check out the problem, and they thought the problem was that the two upstairs toilets didn't have enough pressure, and there were modern ones using the same amount of water per flush but had much stronger flushes. Combined, they cost less than $1500. So, they installed them last week and they are working wonderfully! So, Worley's probably save as $13,000 or more. That would be reason enough to hire these guys."

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.
