"Youssef installed our EV charger. He is a Master Electrician who is professional, knowledgeable and experienced in everything electrical. He explained everything, including why the hardwired charger w Is more appropriate and cost efficient than the portable charger for our home. Our charger was wired and ready for use in less than 2 hours. Youssef gave excellent recommendations for safety and efficiency. His very competitive price for the installation was worth it and I highly recommend Atlas and Youssef for any electrical needs."

"I hired ESV, Inc. to install a new range hood, and a install new light and switch in the master bedroom closet. In addition they fixed two light boxes in our town home's basement that were not properly connected with electrical boxes. From the moment sent my inquiry to when they left, the communicated effectively the estimate and scheduling of the visit, were on time for the work, and their two electricians that came to do the work provided exemplary service from start to finish. I'd hire them again in a second."

"I am a happy customer and will recommend Cody Malone Services! Even though I got a slightly cheaper quote from someone else, I chose Steve based on two things: past reviews and his willingness to stop by my house to give a quote. His deputies Jeremy and Demeric did all the work. They were very polite, professional and hard working young men and have a bright future ahead. They also wore masks all the time which I really appreciated. On last day, I asked Jeremy to do a bit of extra work to replace a switch but he didn't ask extra money for it, which I liked, and so he/they earned the tip. I have recommended Steve to couple of my friends already and will definitely hire them for all my future electrical/lighting projects."

"Ortiz electrical did an excellent job diagnosing my electrical issues. Once the issues were diagnosed, they offered a reasonable price to complete the repairs. They completed the repairs efficiently while demonstrating what was being repaired and why. The bonus, they cleaned up their mess afterwards. I will save Ortiz electrical services card and definitely call them for any future electrical repairs."

"The technician who came to my house was friendly, but his
work was adequate at best. He left debris around the areas where he worked and
claimed to be unable to install a bathroom vent fan (something the next company
I called did easily), but he did install the floodlights and porch light.
However, he hung the porch light too low (it no longer
cleared the screen door when opened) and damaged part of the porch ceiling. He
didn?t report the damage to us, so I discovered it later.
I contacted the company and the manager first tried to tell
me that the tech hung the light at the same height as the old one. The light is
on a chain and the height is easily adjustable; the tech left the screen door
open to avoid hitting the light, again leaving an issue to be discovered after
he was gone. He knew it was too low, he just didn?t bother to adjust the
length.
More troublesome than that, the manager offered to, at most,
send someone out to glue back the layers of plywood that the tech had torn out
in mounting the new light, making a point to tell me ?we don?t do any patching
or painting.? Only when I said that his proposed solution was inadequate did he
agree to come out and look at it. After he saw it, he agreed to have someone come
to patch and paint it (something that two days before he told me was just not
possible).
Now here we are nearly two months later and the repair is
still not complete. The initial coat of patch compound is there, but the
sanding and painting remains to be done. Nor have I had any contact from the company
to explain the delay, let alone apologize. Granted the weather has been bad for
some of that time, but nowhere near all of it.
A business that cares about the quality of its work will
rush to put right any damage they inadvertently cause, and offer a sincere
apology along with the needed remediation. Kolb has shown me nothing but
indifference and ? grudgingly and only when pushed ? a minimal effort to
provide an easy repair.

UPDATE: On the day this review posted, the handyman returned to finish the repairs. He completed them quite well, leaving the porch ceiling even better than it had been. He also explained the personal circumstances that had delayed him. While I still would have liked an email or phone call to explain the delay (it has the effect of letting the customer know you haven't forgotten), I am satisfied with the final outcome."

"Excellent. James has been providing electrical services for us for five years+. All of his work was completed as promised, on time, and NEVER had to be redone. We would never have anyone else provide electrical service for us. His next assignment from us will be to move our dining room chandelier and upgrade outlets in our garage."

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

Yes, a licensed electrician is essential for this project. Running an electrical service from the road to your house involves connecting to utility power lines, complying with national and local electrical codes, and safely handling high-voltage systems. 

Licensed professionals understand proper wire sizing, grounding requirements, and voltage drop calculations needed for safe installation. Most jurisdictions require permits and inspections that only certified professionals can obtain. The safety risks and potential for property damage make this project inappropriate for DIY attempts.

Overhead installations are less expensive than underground options. For a 1000-foot run, overhead service costs between $8,000 and $15,000, while underground service ranges from $10,000 to $25,000. 

Overhead lines require less labor and fewer materials since they don't need trenching or conduit. However, underground lines offer better protection from weather events and aesthetic benefits. Your decision should balance your budget constraints with long-term reliability and visual preferences.

You might need to upgrade your electrical panel depending on your power requirements. If your existing panel cannot handle the additional load from the extended service, upgrading to a 200-amp service (costing $750 to $2,000) may be necessary. 

A licensed electrician can evaluate your current system and determine if an upgrade is required. Factors include what you'll be powering at the end of the line, existing electrical demand, and whether voltage drop over the distance will affect performance.

Running electric service from the road to a house requires electrical permits from your local building department, costing between $500 and $2,000 depending on your location. You may also need excavation permits for trenching work if installing an underground service. Your utility company will have its own application process for connecting to its grid. A licensed electrical contractor can handle all the necessary permit applications as part of their service, ensuring your installation meets all local code requirements.
