Electrical reviews in Richmond, Virginia

I had an electrician come over three times to install light fixtures, repair an outlet, and set up a microwave. The price seemed fair, and the work was done really well. After finishing up, they even cleaned up all their mess. I found that texting them to set up appointments after the first call was the easiest and most convenient way for me.

Shawn showed up 10 minutes ahead of schedule for our hard-wired EV charger installation at 8 am. The installation took around 2 hours and everything went smoothly! The work is covered by a 5-year warranty. I'm very happy with the final outcome and will definitely consider Melvin's Electric for future electrical projects.

I am very happy with the service! From the scheduling to the actual work, everything went smoothly. The technician, Shawn, showed up right on time and confirmed some details with the office before starting to run new wiring. Although he had to make some holes in the drywall, he did it neatly and carefully, which means the drywall can be reused for easier repairs. He even took the time to clean up after he was done. It was a bit challenging to find an electrician for my project, but I’m really glad everything worked out. I will definitely call on them again!

We had power issues in our bedroom, with only half of it receiving electricity. After trying to replace the outlets and switches on both sides of the affected outlet without any luck, we decided to call for help. Shawn arrived quickly and was able to identify the problem right away. He repaired the outlet efficiently, and his team displayed a high level of knowledge and professionalism. I would definitely recommend their services to anyone needing electrical work.

Melvin's Electric did an outstanding job of replacing our electrical panel, integrating a surge suppressor unit, and a generator interlock. They went above and beyond, adding extra circuits and outlets as per our request. Shawn, Clayton, and Oliver successfully corrected many errors from a previous installation that was done almost three decades ago. This included the proper electrical ground bonding to our water and propane systems. A generator outlet was installed meticulously and they even crafted a custom generator extension cord. They tested the entire installation and confirmed it was functioning correctly. They also provided comprehensive training on how to switch over to the generator. Their workmanship was very thorough and professional, which was evident in their seamless coordination with the power company and the building inspector in Richmond. We couldn't be happier with their service.

Melvin's Electric is a fantastic company! They installed 7 light fixtures, 16 dimmable can lights, and 2 ceiling fans for us. They also set up separate switches for the fans and their lights, created a ground for our garage lighting, and put in new fixtures. The team did an amazing job. Clayton and Oliver were very friendly, the pricing was excellent, and the quality of work was outstanding. Plus, they even made friends with our dogs! Overall, we had a wonderful experience and will surely reach out again for our next project!

I was working on a DIY project in my laundry room in Richmond and thought I might have drilled into a wiring guard plate by mistake. I used a home services website to find an emergency electrician, and Melvin's Electric was the first to respond within minutes of my request. Oliver showed up within the hour, was friendly, and very professional. He checked out everything, confirmed I hadn't hit the guard, and also fixed a few other electrical issues we were having. We plan to call them for all our future electrical work. Highly recommend!

I had an amazing experience with an electrician. An appliance repair technician mentioned that our breakers might need replacing due to a potential fire hazard. The electrician responded quickly to our concern. They offered a free estimate and scheduled a visit that worked for us. When Shawn arrived, he thoroughly inspected the breaker box and confirmed that everything was in good shape. Unlike many other services that would have suggested unnecessary replacements and charged a fortune, this team was both courteous and knowledgeable. They didn’t charge us anything at all, which was such a relief. The peace of mind we gained was truly invaluable. Best service ever!
