Electrician, Generator, HVAC and Solar Services in Chesapeake, VA

Electrical Panels, Breaker Boxes and Wiring

 

The electrical panel distributes power to circuits throughout the property. An outdated fuse box, damaged breaker box or undersized panel may have difficulty supporting modern appliances, HVAC equipment and other electrical demands. Repeatedly tripped breakers, visible corrosion, unusual sounds, heat near the panel and limited room for additional circuits are all reasons to schedule a professional evaluation. These conditions do not always require a complete panel replacement, but they should be inspected by a qualified electrician.

​

Gault Electric provides electrical-panel upgrades, breaker-box replacement, fuse-box replacement and electrical service upgrades in Chesapeake. Our electricians can examine the existing equipment and determine whether repair, component replacement or a larger upgrade is appropriate.

​

Our team also installs outlets, dedicated circuits and new circuit breakers. Home rewiring or kitchen rewiring may be recommended when existing wiring is damaged, outdated or unable to support planned improvements.

​

Lighting Installation and Electrical Improvements

 

Gault Electric installs indoor and outdoor lighting for residential and commercial properties. Our lighting services include recessed lights, chandeliers, under-cabinet fixtures, ceiling lights, floodlights, exterior fixtures, pole lights and lighting controls.

Outdoor lighting can improve visibility around entrances, walkways, driveways and commercial parking areas. Businesses can also contact Gault Electric for commercial lighting installation, lighting repair and LED lighting retrofits.

​

When additional lighting locations are needed, our electricians can install the wiring, switches, dimmers or timers required to operate the new fixtures. We can also troubleshoot lights that flicker, fail repeatedly or do not provide adequate illumination.

​

Commercial Electrical Services

 

Gault Electric provides commercial electrical services for offices, stores, restaurants, warehouses and other business properties in Chesapeake. Our commercial electricians can assist with planned improvements, equipment installation and unexpected electrical problems.

​

Commercial electrical work may involve lighting, panels, dedicated circuits, outlets, controls, equipment connections and backup-power systems. We also provide bucket-truck services for certain pole lights and elevated exterior fixtures.

​

When an electrical problem interferes with normal operations, our team works to identify the source and complete the appropriate repair while limiting disruptions to the business.

Selecting a Generator for Your Home

 

The right generator for a home depends on the equipment the household wants to operate during an outage. It must also be compatible with the property’s electrical system, fuel supply, available installation space and budget.

 

A smaller backup generator may support refrigeration, lighting, selected outlets, pumps and other essential circuits. A larger whole-house generator may be able to operate heating and air-conditioning equipment, kitchen appliances and most or all of the home.

​

Before recommending a home backup generator, Gault Electric can review the appliances and systems that should remain operational. Our team can also assess the electrical panel, available natural gas or propane supply, proposed generator location and transfer-switch requirements.

​

This evaluation helps determine which Generac backup generator can provide appropriate coverage without relying solely on a general online sizing estimate.

​

Commercial Standby Generators

 

Utility interruptions can affect business operations, communications, security equipment, lighting, refrigeration and other essential systems. Gault Electric provides commercial generator installation and service for businesses in Chesapeake.

 

Commercial backup-power planning begins with identifying the equipment that must remain operational and calculating the electrical demand. The installation may also require transfer equipment, fuel connections and an appropriate outdoor location.

 

Gault Electric can evaluate the facility and recommend a commercial standby generator based on the property’s essential systems and operating priorities. Routine maintenance following installation can help keep the equipment prepared for an unexpected outage.

​

Generac Generator Service and Repair

 

Standby generators need ongoing maintenance even when they have not recently supplied power during an outage. Preventative generator service can identify developing problems before the system is placed under a full electrical load.

 

Gault Electric provides Generac generator service, maintenance, troubleshooting and repair in Chesapeake. Our factory-trained technicians can inspect the battery, charging system, filters, spark plugs, controls, electrical connections and transfer equipment.

Generator repair may be needed when a unit fails to start, does not complete its regular exercise cycle, displays a warning code or shuts down unexpectedly. The problem may involve the fuel supply, battery, sensors, controls, electrical connections or transfer switch.

​

Our technicians can diagnose the generator and determine whether a component needs to be adjusted, repaired or replaced. Customers requesting service should provide the model number, serial number and a description of the problem when possible.

Regular inspection and operational testing help keep backup generators ready for severe weather and unexpected utility interruptions.
