FAQs
What types of custom electrical solutions do you provide in Lynchburg?
We handle a full spectrum of services, from residential rewiring and panel upgrades to complex commercial design-build projects. Our team regularly installs custom lighting systems, backup generators, EV charging stations, data/low-voltage cabling, and automated controls. Because every property’s needs are unique, we begin with a site evaluation, create a tailored plan that fits your budget and code requirements, and then assign a dedicated project manager to ensure seamless execution. Whether you’re renovating a historic downtown building, outfitting a new retail space, or adding smart-home features to your house, we have the expertise and equipment to deliver a safe, reliable, and future-ready electrical system.
How does your design-and-build process work for custom projects?
Our process follows four structured stages: (1) Consultation: We meet on-site to discuss goals, power demands, and aesthetic preferences. (2) Design & Estimate: Using load calculations and CAD software, we develop detailed schematics and a transparent, itemized quote. (3) Installation: Licensed electricians coordinate with other trades to complete rough-in, wiring, and device installation while adhering to NEC, local Lynchburg codes, and any historic preservation guidelines. (4) Testing & Handover: We perform circuit verification, infrared scanning for hot spots, and final inspections with the city before providing you with as-built drawings and maintenance recommendations. This turnkey approach minimizes delays and cost overruns while giving you a single point of accountability.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Yes. All field technicians hold Virginia Journeyman or Master Electrician licenses and complete ongoing OSHA and NFPA 70E safety training. Our company carries $2 million in general liability, workers’ compensation for every employee, and bonding for public projects. We also maintain specialty certifications—including Generac factory training, LEED credentialing, and Level II thermography—to handle sensitive environments like medical facilities, data centers, and historic structures in Lynchburg. Documentation can be provided upon request, and every crew chief signs in at the jobsite with credentials visible to ensure full compliance and peace of mind.
Can you help with energy-efficient upgrades and smart-home integrations?
Absolutely. We partner with leading manufacturers such as Lutron, Siemens, and Leviton to design solutions that cut energy bills and add convenience. Services include LED retrofits with utility rebate assistance, whole-home surge protection, solar interconnects, battery storage tie-ins, and voice-controlled lighting or HVAC automation via platforms like Google Home and Alexa. Our electricians program scenes, schedules, and remote monitoring so you can track usage trends in real time. Most upgrades pay for themselves within 3–5 years through utility savings and increased property value, and we’ll help you navigate available federal tax credits or local incentives specific to the Lynchburg area.
What is your typical turnaround time for a custom electrical project?
Smaller residential upgrades—such as panel swaps, lighting redesigns, or EV charger installs—are often completed within 1–5 business days once permits are approved. Mid-size commercial build-outs range from two to six weeks, depending on material lead times and coordination with other trades. Large-scale industrial or multi-tenant projects can span several months; however, we provide a detailed Gantt chart and weekly progress updates to keep you informed. Because we stock common parts in our Lynchburg warehouse and maintain strong vendor relationships, we can fast-track urgent jobs without compromising quality or safety.
Do you offer emergency service or ongoing maintenance after installation?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency response throughout Lynchburg and surrounding counties, guaranteeing a licensed electrician on site within two hours for critical outages, grounding issues, or life-safety hazards. For long-term reliability, we offer customizable maintenance agreements that include annual infrared panel scans, breaker torque checks, GFCI/AFCI testing, generator load runs, and firmware updates for smart devices. Clients under a service plan receive priority scheduling, discounted labor rates, and digital maintenance logs accessible through our customer portal—helping you stay code-compliant and extending the lifespan of your electrical infrastructure.
