FAQs
What kinds of electrical fixtures can Reliable Performance Electrical install or service in Winchester?
Our licensed electricians work with practically every residential and light-commercial fixture you might need, including ceiling and wall-mounted lights, chandeliers, recessed cans, track lighting, under-cabinet LEDs, bathroom exhaust fans, ceiling fans, dimmer switches, GFCI outlets, smart-home–compatible devices, and exterior/security lighting. If you have a specialty fixture, just let us know the model and we will verify compatibility with your wiring and local code before scheduling the job.
How long does a typical fixture installation or replacement take?
For a like-for-like swap (e.g., replacing an existing ceiling light with a new one), most projects are completed within 60–90 minutes once we are on site. More complex work—such as adding a new junction box, running wiring to a location that never had power, or installing multiple fixtures—can take three to six hours. During your free estimate, we evaluate attic/basement access, ceiling height, and panel capacity so you receive an accurate time frame before work begins.
Do I need a permit for new lighting or fixture work in Winchester, and do you handle the paperwork?
The City of Winchester requires an electrical permit for any work that involves running new wiring or significantly altering an existing circuit. Simple one-for-one replacements usually do not need a permit if the wiring remains unchanged. When a permit is required, Reliable Performance Electrical obtains it on your behalf, schedules inspections, and ensures the installation passes the National Electrical Code (NEC) as well as local amendments—so you never have to deal with the paperwork or inspectors yourself.
Can you recommend energy-efficient lighting solutions?
Absolutely. We stay current on ENERGY STAR®-rated LEDs, smart dimming systems, daylight sensors, and occupancy controls that can reduce lighting energy use by up to 70 percent. During our visit we evaluate lumen requirements, color temperature preferences, rebate eligibility through Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative or Dominion Energy programs, and payback periods. We then provide fixture and control options that balance upfront cost with long-term savings and improved lighting quality.
What should I do if a fixture suddenly stops working—do you offer emergency service?
If a fixture goes dark, first check the bulb, breaker, and wall switch for obvious issues. If those appear normal, turn the switch to the OFF position and avoid touching any wiring. Call our 24/7 emergency line at 540-XXX-XXXX. We dispatch a licensed technician any time, day or night, to diagnose problems such as loose connections, overheating sockets, short circuits, or water intrusion. Rapid response helps prevent fire hazards and restores safe lighting to your home or business.
What warranties or guarantees come with your electrical fixture work?
All labor is backed by our two-year workmanship guarantee—if any connection we make fails within 24 months, we repair it at no charge. Most of the fixtures we supply carry manufacturer warranties ranging from one to five years; we handle warranty claims for you. In addition, we are fully insured and bonded, so you have complete protection against unexpected damage during installation. Our goal is total peace of mind from the moment we step onto your property.
