  • “Outstanding company to work with. Recently did a complete replacement of lights in our office building, replacing old fluorescents with new efficient LED lights. A major change in the inside appearance and a huge savings on the electric bill. Smartwire reached out to us as Dominion Power was offering huge rebates to convert. The team at Smartwire handled everything from start to finish and the job was completed in six days with no disruptions to staff at all. Can't say enough great things about the entire staff at Smartwire. If you are looking for an efficient, courteous electrical contractor, look no further Smartwire is all that. You won't be disappointed!”
