FAQs
What types of electrical systems can you overhaul or repair in the Lynchburg area?
We service residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical systems—including main service panels, branch circuit wiring, lighting systems, standby generators, motor controls, and energy-management equipment. Whether you need a complete service-panel replacement in a historic home or a production-line motor control overhaul at a local plant, our licensed electricians have the experience and equipment to handle the job safely and efficiently.
How do I know if my property needs an electrical system overhaul rather than a simple repair?
Persistent issues such as frequent breaker trips, dimming lights when large appliances start, outdated fuse boxes, aluminum branch wiring, or lack of capacity for new HVAC or EV chargers usually signal that a partial or full system overhaul is the safest long-term solution. During our free on-site assessment, we perform load calculations, infrared scanning, and code-compliance checks to determine whether targeted repairs will suffice or if a panel upgrade, rewiring, or service-entrance replacement is necessary.
What is the typical timeline for an electrical overhaul project?
Most residential overhauls—including service-panel upgrades and selective rewiring—take 1–3 days. Larger commercial projects may range from a week to several months, depending on square footage, complexity, and coordination with other trades. We provide a detailed Gantt chart before work begins, schedule inspections with Lynchburg City or Campbell/Bedford County officials, and keep critical circuits live with temporary power solutions whenever possible to minimize downtime.
How much does an electrical repair or system overhaul cost?
Minor repairs (replacing a faulty GFCI, repairing a single circuit) typically start at $150–$300. A service-panel upgrade to 200 A averages $1,800–$3,000, while whole-house rewiring can range from $8,000–$15,000, depending on size and accessibility. Commercial switchgear replacement or plant-wide motor control upgrades are quoted after a detailed site visit and engineering review. All estimates are itemized, include permit fees, and are valid for 30 days.
Do you handle permits and inspections for electrical work in Lynchburg?
Yes. We pull all required electrical permits through the City of Lynchburg or the appropriate county building department, coordinate rough-in and final inspections, and provide you with stamped approval documents for your records. Our master electricians stay current with the 2020 National Electrical Code (NEC) as adopted by Virginia to ensure every installation passes inspection on the first attempt.
What safety and warranty protections do you offer?
Safety is our top priority. All technicians are OSHA-10 or OSHA-30 certified, follow NFPA 70E arc-flash protocols, and use calibrated test instruments. We carry $2 million in general liability insurance and full workers’ compensation coverage. Residential and commercial clients receive a 5-year workmanship warranty and manufacturer warranties on all materials. Post-project, we provide a detailed inspection report and maintenance recommendations to keep your electrical system running reliably.
