Asbury Electric specializes in custom residential electrical installations, bringing modern convenience and energy efficiency to your home.


Lighting Installation & Fixtures

Installing new lights in the house or yard isn’t always as simple as it seems. That’s why it’s one of the most common electrical jobs we are called upon to do. 

It takes a professional electrician to ensure adequate amounts of power when and where new or upgraded lighting systems must work correctly. 

New or additional lights inside the home may require more amps, while landscape lighting might require new outdoor outlets. Call Asbury Electric for a consultation before attempting the job on your own.

Many factors contribute to the completion of even a “simple” installation project, such as:

  • Ensuring the presence of the correct number of sockets to meet your needs
  • Checking all safety features are addressed
  • Providing sufficient circuits to minimize outages and maintain the safety
  • Selecting and installing the correct cables

At Asbury Electric, we guarantee that all our work will meet or exceed industry standards and local building codes, no matter the size of the job.  If you ever have a question or problem, call our Gloucester office, and we will complete a thorough inspection before making any necessary adjustments.

Our work isn’t complete until each, and every customer is 100% satisfied. And our team is ready and eager to serve you in communities throughout Hampton Roads, including but not limited to Williamsburg, Newport News, and Hampton.


Electrical Installation & Upgrades

Too often, homeowners make plans for upgrades without thinking about their electrical systems. Even something as simple as a new appliance could require upgrades to your system. Whether you need electrical service installation for new appliances or a complete system overhaul, planning ahead is essential. 

If you’re making improvements to your Williamsburg or Hampton Roads home, it’s probably a good time to call Asbury Electric about assessing your electrical system.  Additional lighting or changes in your HVAC system may require an increase in amps or a whole new electrical panel.

Reasons to consider an upgrade include:

  • You are adding square footage to your home
  • Your home is more than 20 years old or still has a fuse box
  • Your electrical panel feels warm to the touch or gives off an odd burning smell
  • You’re upgrading appliances that require additional amps
  • You need power strips in every room because there are not enough outlets
  • You’re installing a hot tub
  • You are installing new exterior/landscape lighting.
  • Your electrical panel trips frequently
  • You experience frequent power surges
  • You wish to reduce energy costs
  • You need a local electrician for outlet installation to add power access in key areas
  • To reduce the costs of homeowner insurance
  • To increase the value of your home

Count on the experts at Asbury Electric for your electrical system upgrades. Don’t waste time and money making improvements to your home or adding major appliances that your electrical system isn’t equipped to handle. 

Our licensed electricians can replace that old fuse box with an efficient new breaker panel, and we can advise you on the best plan for new lighting or outlet installation, too.


Installing a Whole-Home Generator

You count on a generator in times of emergency. And you don’t want to wait until that emergency happens to find out that your generator hasn’t been installed correctly. 

The first step in the installation is making sure that the unit is sized correctly for your home. Some companies throughout Hampton Roads may be more interested in creating a quick sale than providing you with the right equipment. That’s never the case at Asbury Electric. 

The professional generator technicians on our team will start by calculating your electrical load. With that information, they can help you to choose the right generator to provide your family with the power you need to stay safe and comfortable during a power outage.

Never be left in the dark again!

Asbury Electric offers Generac generator sales and services, providing you with a reliable backup power source and peace of mind during storms and outages.

Call Asbury Electric if you have questions about purchasing a new generator or if your existing generator needs to be serviced. We will perform a complete evaluation, including valve adjustments and a safety check. It’s our job to make sure your generator works reliably when you need it the most, and we take that job seriously.

Electrical Wiring and Rewiring

Your home’s electrical wiring is essential to functionality and safety. Faulty wiring can lead to unexpected shocks and even fires, so it’s important that it’s done correctly.

We pride ourselves on handling each job with precision, attention to detail, and superior craftsmanship, from electrical installations to remodels. Our dedication to our work earned us the honor of being a top-rated local and Angi’s top-recommended electrical contractor.

As needs change, homes grow, and technology advances, you may find yourself in need of electrical wiring for your home to accommodate changes. At Asbury Electric, we’re here to optimize your home for maximum enjoyment and comfort. Beyond initial installations, you can also reach out for help with:

  • Circuit breaker installations
  • Entertainment center wiring
  • Computer wiring
  • Hot tub wiring

If your next home project involves electrical wiring, we have the skills and experience to get the job done right.

Outdated and faulty wiring are the two biggest reasons to rewire your home. It’s a big project but a critically important one, especially if your home meets certain requirements. How do you know if your home needs rewiring? If any of the following problems are familiar to you, it’s time to give us a call.

Burnt Outlet Covers

Burnt outlet covers result from loose connections or degraded wiring. Burnt or discolored outlets are a significant indicator that your home needs rewiring. Loose connections mean electricity is escaping in the form of sparks, which can lead to fires and electrical shocks. When you notice burnt outlet covers, turn to us to fix the underlying issue.

Burning Smells

A burning smell in your home that you can’t place may result from a defect in your wiring. This smell indicates that one of those sparking wires that heated your outlets has also burned something within your walls that you can’t see. Contact us immediately if you detect this smell.

Flickering Lights

Flickering lights are more than just an annoying quirk of an old house. These lights demonstrate that your electrical wiring isn’t holding up to the job like it used to. Flickering lights may come from faulty wiring and damaged circuits, which indicate that your home is a candidate for rewiring.

Old Wiring

Homes built before the 1970s used different wiring standards than today and require rewiring for electrical safety. These homes were often wired with aluminum. While aluminum is cheaper and a known conductor of electricity, it doesn’t hold up as well as the copper used in homes today.

Aluminum expands when heated and contracts as it cools. The constant movement and activity eventually lead to loose connections as wires shift away from their connections and arc.

Aluminum is also prone to rust and corrosion. As the wiring breaks down over time, it restricts the flow of electricity.

Worried about faulty wiring or insufficient power in your home?

Asbury Electric’s residential wiring and rewiring services provide peace of mind and a reliable electrical system for your family.

GFCI Outlet Installations

A lot of home electrical safety requirements changed in the 1970s. In addition to making the change from aluminum to copper wiring, GFCI outlets also became a requirement. Ground-fault circuit interrupter outlets are explicitly designed to prevent electrocution, which is why they’re required at crucial points within your home, namely any place near water. GFCIs quickly detect power surges and shut off to prevent shocks.

Asbury Electric uses high-quality breaker panels with all copper bus bars and only copper wiring. This prevents issues from happening for decades to come. These outlets are required anywhere electricity and water are present, including:

  • Kitchens
  • Laundry rooms
  • Crawl spaces
  • Bathrooms
  • Garages

Our electricians can install GFCIs to bring an older home up to code or add GFCIs to a new addition. We also install these outlets for hot tub circuits or wet bar outlets.

Ceiling Fan Installation

Ceiling fans bolster the airflow in your home, keeping you cool. They also contribute to the overall aesthetic of your space. Our expert electricians install these heavy and bulky fans quickly, safely, and at a reasonable rate. We’ll do the job for you to prevent the risk of injury.

EV Car Charger Installation

Electric cars are becoming increasingly popular as technology advances. If you own one of these modern eco-friendly vehicles or are thinking about purchasing one, you will need a home electric vehicle (EV) charger.

While charging stations are an asset on road trips, you’ll likely want to charge your car from the comfort of your own home most of the time.

The experienced electricians at Asbury Electric are your local experts at EV car charger installations. We install simple chargers that plug directly into your existing system. Our electricians can also provide larger and more complex charger installations for your home. We’re here to assess your home’s electrical needs before performing the installation that is both safe and efficient.
