"I feel so much better knowing that I have protection now after the lightning strike we got. This company was professional and before something happens to your home or property I suggest you look into hiring them your home is definitely worth more than it cost to install protection"

"I would like to recommend Joshua Smith as a Tesla installer and overall electrician. He did a great job for my wife and I on the installation of our powerwall 3 and car chargers within our garages as well as trouble shooting some other electrical problems at our new home at Smith Mountain Lake. Additionally, he answers phone calls and shows up on time. Again, we highly recommend Joshua."

"The problem turned out to be a burned out small electric door switch. I believe the price was way too expensive for the service performed and the price of the door switch. What more can I say? It got done."

"Well, the system is great! It took a while to get the system installed due to paper work for grant and bank loan. Finally got system up and running on 10/5/16.  The system provides complete energy for our house and business. And we don't have to pay the electric company, in fact they will be paying us for any overflow production. 

If your are interested is installing, you better hurry because the demand is increasing dramatically and the waiting time for installation will take a while.


Brian Brown from Renewable Engineered Systems is our provider. Very easy to work with and they are a local company with a very professional attitude.  His contact phone number is 276-226-0228"

"Excellent! I worked with Live Electric before and didn't hesitate to call them for this project. The timing throughout the project was tricky because we/he had to coordinate with the construction contractor and Live Elect. had to come out several times at different points during the job. Anthony and his team were extremely accommodating and worked very well with the bath contractor to plan and complete the work within the project timelines. Before and during the project, Anthony took the time to help design the lighting plan which ended up being more complex than I thought it would. He even came by with a portable power station to power up the light fixtures I had bought to help me understand/visualize the amount of light we needed in the finished bathroom. He saved us a lot of money and trouble! For example, I thought we needed and quot;layers of lightand quot;/recessed lighting in addition to vanity lights -- he advised that the recessed lights were not necessary and might even cause and quot;shadowsand quot; (and he was right!). The original fixtures I bought ended up not being enough light over the vanity and I would have been very disappointed in the end, but because he took the time to walk through the lighting with me, we switched the fixtures around and adjusted their placement and now they are perfect and we are very pleased with the overall lighting in the bath.
Live electric took the time to cover their path with drop cloths (stairs, hallways, entry to attic, etc.) and so didn't leave a spec of dirt behind. They took all the trash away. Also, they didn't leave any damage to the new drywall (which is unusual) and so all the lighting and fans look great, placement is perfect and very professional. The lighting provided the finishing touch on our beautiful bathroom and I have Live Electric to thank for it.

"This company is obviously nationwide and hires local contractors.  I trusted Agies List that all contractors are licensed, bonded and have background checks.  This person was a handyman and not qualified to wall mount, conceal wires, add electrical outlet.  He  spend five hours in my home, for a job that should have taken two hours and left the area in a disaster.  The TV was hung close to the ceiling, the wires were hanging down from the TV, and the receiver was sitting on top of a plaster box because the cord was too short.  He was obviously not qualified to install TV wall mounts.  I have photos.    As soon as he left, I called Best Buy Geek Squad.  They were able to come out the next day and mount the TV professionally.  I have used the geek squad in Virginia and they are highly qualified.  They charge more than this nationwide company but you get what you pay for.  I called Angies List the day after the disaster and said i did not want to rate this company but I wanted to talk to a manager. No one called me to apologize. I have cancelled my membership.  Do not use this company unless you can be assured that the local contractor is qualified and is licensed.  You should never let anyone into your home that has not had background checks.

"Andrew and his company did an amazing job with our solar system install.  They met with us, explained our options, and delivered exactly the system we were looking for.  He was always prompt, courteous, and professional.  The system looks great on our home.  The install is very clean(which was one of my wife's big concerns).  The attention to detail that they paid to our project was amazing.  They went above and beyond what was required.
I can't say yet how much electricity our system will generate since it was just installed.
I will definitely call Andrew again when I am ready to expand our system further or add Solar water heating for our pool.

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Covington, homeowners are prioritizing smart home upgrades like programmable thermostats, automated lighting, and whole-house surge protection to increase both convenience and safety. LED lighting retrofits, outdoor security lighting, and electric vehicle charging stations are also in demand. Many residents are updating electrical panels, adding GFCI and USB outlets, and modernizing wiring to handle weather-related power fluctuations common in the area’s mountain climate.

Helpful?

When reviewing quotes in Covington, be wary of contractors who offer unusually low or high estimates, pressure you to sign quickly, or demand full payment upfront. Watch for vague project descriptions, missing written contracts, or reluctance to discuss code compliance. Avoid professionals unfamiliar with local building codes, historic home requirements, or weather-related challenges. Trustworthy electricians should communicate clearly and provide references from local Covington clients.

Helpful?

In Covington, frequent breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, burning odors, or warm outlets can signal serious electrical hazards. Older homes with aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, outdated panels, or two-prong outlets are at higher risk. Water damage, rodent-chewed wires, or storm impacts can worsen issues. If you notice shocks, non-working outlets, or persistent electrical problems, address them promptly to prevent costly repairs or fire risks.

Helpful?

Covington offers a diverse range of electrical specialists, including residential contractors for home wiring, panel upgrades, and historic home modernization. Commercial electricians handle business and industrial projects, while emergency service providers address urgent repairs and storm damage.

Helpful?

Upgrading electrical systems in Covington improves safety by reducing fire risks, especially in older homes with outdated wiring. Modern panels and wiring support reliable heating and cooling, essential for the region’s changing weather. Energy-efficient lighting and smart features lower utility bills and add convenience, while outdoor electrical improvements make it easier to enjoy scenic spaces. These upgrades also help maintain property value and preserve historic charm.
