Trusted by Homeowners Across Central Virginia
Real experiences from real Richmond-area homeowners.
"I recently had an EV charger installed by Smartwire. They gave advice to reduce cost, showed up on time and did an excellent job, leaving the scene very clean. The cost was very reasonable. The technician Ethan was very knowledgeable and did a great job. Highly recommended."
"Smartwire saved us from a house fire! Smartwire was able to get us on the schedule for the next day after I called. It started out as a visit to diagnose a tripped breaker and bad main breaker, but upon further troubleshooting, we discovered multiple failures along the tripped circuit. We actually caught the beginning of a fire as we walked up the attic ladder. Smartwire had a crew here to fix the issue in less than an hour. The work was also even cheaper than quoted! We would definitely recommend Smartwire!"
