About Power ElectricChesapeake, VA's commercial electrical contractor
For more than 41 years, Power Electric Company has powered commercial, federal, government and industrial projects across Hampton Roads — from our home base in Chesapeake, VA.
Our story
Built in Chesapeake. Trusted across the region.
Since 1985, Power Electric Company has been built on a simple idea: commercial customers deserve an electrical contractor who shows up, does the job right and stands behind the work. More than 41 years and 2,000+ projects later, that is still how we operate.
Headquartered in Chesapeake's 23324 South Norfolk area, our crews work across all of South Hampton Roads — Chesapeake, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Portsmouth and Suffolk — and travel to the Peninsula, Western Tidewater, the Eastern Shore and northeastern North Carolina. In all, we serve 43 communities.
As a Virginia Class A Contractor, we handle the work that keeps businesses running: new construction and tenant fit-outs, lighting, panel and transformer upgrades, fiber and high-voltage terminations, electrical repairs, and standby generator installation — for commercial owners, industrial plants, and federal, state and local government facilities.
Power Electric is also a proud member of ABC Virginia — Associated Builders and Contractors — supporting safety, training and quality craftsmanship in the construction industry.
