New Home WiringResidential Electrical Services in Virginia Beach — What Homeowners Hire Us For
Ceiling fan installation is one of our most requested residential jobs. Whether you need a ceiling fan installed where a light fixture currently exists, a new fan run from scratch with no existing wiring, or a replacement fan hung on a vaulted ceiling, our licensed electricians handle it all — including the wiring, the rated ceiling box, and the fan itself.
Outlet installation and GFCI upgrades are another common call. We install new outlets anywhere in your home — kitchen, bathroom, garage, outdoor, or a new room addition. We add 240V outlets for dryers, ranges, EV chargers, and hot tubs. We replace ungrounded two-prong outlets with GFCI outlets to bring older homes up to code.
Recessed lighting installation in existing ceilings, under-cabinet lighting, and outdoor security lighting are all services we provide throughout Virginia Beach and Hampton Roads.
