From the quiet, tree-lined streets of Founders Pointe to the stunning waterfront views along the James River, Carrollton is a community that perfectly balances small-town charm with modern coastal living. As one of the fastest-growing areas in Isle of Wight County, Carrollton’s unique landscape—stretching from the historic corridor of Route 17 to the custom estates of Eagle Harbor—requires an electrical partner who understands the specific needs of this thriving region.


Hatchett Electrical is that partner. Whether you are a homeowner in Cypress Creek needing a panel upgrade or a business owner near the James River Bridge requiring commercial support, we are just a call away.

Your Expert Local Electrician for Carrollton and Isle of Wight

Carrollton is unique. Property owners here deal with everything from the specific electrical demands of custom-built new construction to the maintenance of established homes near Smithfield. Furthermore, our proximity to the James River and Chuckatuck Creek means that local electrical systems must be resilient against high humidity and the salt-air coastal weather patterns of the 757.


At Hatchett Electrical, we combine local pride with world-class technical skill. We stay ahead of the curve, ensuring all our work complies with the Current National Electrical Code (NEC), keeping your Carrollton property safe, efficient, and modern.
