"First of all, Greg Emert answered the phone on January 2nd (New Years Day observed holiday). He was honest about his workload and called back later in the day when he couldn't make it. He showed up early today as promised, and quickly isolated and repaired the problem. He charged me a fair price and didn't try to make it into a large project. Very decent guy, very professional. I'd hire him again."

"I originally had a serviceman from Wooldridge Heating, Air, and Electric to evaluate our noisy, wobbling ceiling fan. It took a 12 ft. step ladder to reach, which I'm not able to do myself, anymore. Once it was determined that the motor was going bad in the fan, I asked them to return and replace it with a new one we bought. They two workers sent were prompt, polite, and very efficient. They had the old fan down and the new one in place in less than an hour. That included transferring a remote control receiver into the new fan canopy. They even took away the old defective fan. Very good service and at a very reasonable cost."

It's not easy, but it's the difference between a business that survives and a business that thrives. \n \nWislers' foundation of beliefs lights our way, from policies we live by to the people we hire.

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

In Roanoke, frequent mistakes include skipping permit applications, using non-code-compliant materials, and overloading circuits. According to the City of Roanoke Permit Center, improper grounding and failing to schedule required inspections are also common issues. Always review the Virginia electrical code before starting, and consult a licensed electrician for any work involving your main service panel to avoid costly errors.

Helpful?

After completing electrical work in Roanoke, schedule routine checks every six months for breaker panels and outlets, as recommended by the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation. Look for signs of wear, such as warm outlets or flickering lights. For homes with older wiring, consider a periodic inspection by a licensed electrician to ensure compliance with the latest electrical code and to prevent hidden hazards.

Helpful?

For electrical projects in Roanoke, always select materials that comply with the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code. Licensed electricians often recommend using THHN wire for conduit runs and Romex for interior wiring. For outdoor work, weatherproof junction boxes and PVC conduit are preferred. Consult the City of Roanoke Permit Center for approved materials, and use a voltage tester to confirm safety before starting any project.

Helpful?

In Roanoke, most electrical projects—such as new wiring, panel upgrades, or installing an EV charging station—require an electrical permit from the City of Roanoke Permit Center. According to the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation, inspections are mandatory at specific project stages. Be aware that permits expire if inspections aren't scheduled within six months, so coordinate closely with local inspectors to avoid delays.

Helpful?

In Roanoke, DIY electrical work may save money, but it can risk code violations or failed inspections if not done to the Virginia electrical code. Hiring a licensed electrician ensures compliance, proper permitting, and often includes a workmanship guarantee. The City of Roanoke Permit Center requires licensed professionals for certain tasks—like main panel upgrades—so always verify project requirements before deciding.
