Our Comprehensive Electrical Installation Services

At Southern Air, we offer a full spectrum of electrical installation services designed to meet the modern demands of your home or business. Our team handles every project, from minor additions to major system overhauls, with the same commitment to quality and safety.

New Wiring and Whole-Home Rewiring

For remodels, new constructions, and additions, proper wiring is the foundation of a safe and functional electrical system. Many older homes in the Charlottesville area have outdated wiring that can't handle today's power loads. We specialize in both new wiring installations and complete whole-home rewiring, replacing old aluminum or knob-and-tube systems with modern, high-capacity copper wiring that meets all current safety codes, enhances your property's value, and prevents electrical hazards.

Appliance Hook-Ups and Dedicated Circuits

High-power appliances like ovens, dryers, hot tubs, HVAC systems, and EV chargers require their own dedicated circuits to operate safely and prevent overloading your main electrical system. Our electricians install dedicated circuits that provide the stable, consistent power these appliances need, ensuring they function correctly without tripping breakers or creating a fire risk.

Interior and Exterior Lighting Installation

The right lighting can transform a space, enhance security, and improve energy efficiency. We install a wide variety of lighting solutions, including:

  1. Recessed and Track Lighting: For a modern, clean look and focused illumination.
  2. Chandeliers and Pendant Lights: To create a stunning focal point in any room.
  3. Ceiling Fans: For improved air circulation and comfort.
  4. Security and Landscape Lighting: To illuminate walkways, deter intruders, and highlight your property’s best features.
  5. LED Upgrades: To significantly reduce your energy consumption and lower utility bills.

Smart Home Technology Integration

Bring your home into the 21st century with our professional smart home installation services. We can seamlessly integrate a wide range of technologies to give you greater control, convenience, and energy savings. This includes installing smart switches and outlets, intelligent thermostats, automated lighting systems, and integrated home control hubs that you can manage from your smartphone.

Electrical Panel Upgrades and Replacements

Your electrical panel is the heart of your home’s electrical system. If your panel is outdated, uses fuses, or can no longer support your power needs, it’s time for an upgrade. A modern electrical panel provides superior safety with advanced circuit breakers, increases your home’s capacity for new appliances and technology, and is essential for any major renovation or addition.

EV Charging Station Installation

As electric vehicles become more popular in Charlottesville, having a dedicated home charging station is a necessity for convenience and speed. We install Level 2 EV chargers that can power your vehicle significantly faster than a standard wall outlet. Our electricians will ensure your charger is installed safely, is compatible with your vehicle, and meets all manufacturer and code requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions About Electrical Installations

How do I know if I need my home rewired?

Common signs include frequently tripped breakers, flickering or dimming lights, a persistent burning smell from outlets, or discolored switch plates. If your home was built before 1975 and still has its original wiring, an inspection is highly recommended.

Are permits required for electrical work in Charlottesville?

Many electrical installations, such as panel upgrades, new circuits, and extensive rewiring, require a permit from the local building department to ensure the work is performed to code. Our team handles the entire permitting process for you.

How long does a typical installation take?

The duration depends on the project. Installing a new light fixture or outlet may take an hour or two, while a full panel upgrade can take a day. A whole-home rewiring is a more extensive project that can take several days. We will provide a clear timeline with your estimate.

What are the benefits of upgrading my electrical panel?

Upgrading your panel increases your home’s electrical capacity, drastically improves safety by replacing outdated fuse systems with modern breakers, helps prevent overloads, and is often necessary to support home additions, EV chargers, or major new appliances.
