Find Your Forever Electrician

At Smartwire, we believe every homeowner deserves an electrician they can count on for life — someone who shows up on time, treats your home with respect, and gets the job done right the first time. Our licensed electricians in Greater Richmond are background-checked, OSHA 10-Construction certified, and bring years of experience to every job. Whether you need a quick repair, expert troubleshooting, or a full service upgrade, we’re here to make sure your electrical system is safe, reliable, and built to last.

How Our Residential Service Calls Work

Every home is unique — and so is every electrical job. To give you an accurate estimate up front that won’t change later, we start by seeing your setup in person.

Here’s what to expect when you call Smartwire:

  1. Talk or Text with a Real Local Person
    When you reach out, you’ll connect directly with someone from our Richmond-based team — no call centers or robots.

  2. We Send a Professional Electrician to Your Home
    Your electrician will review your concerns, explain what’s happening, and outline your options clearly before any work begins.

  3. Upfront, Honest Pricing
    Once we’ve seen the space — where wires run, what access points exist, and the root cause of the issue — we’ll prepare a detailed estimate before any work is completed.

  4. Expert Work, Done Right
    We complete your repair or installation safely and efficiently, test everything to ensure it’s working perfectly, and clean up before we leave.

  5. Peace of Mind, Guaranteed
    We stand by the quality of our work, and every Smartwire residential service is backed by our 12-month warranty on workmanship.
