Your Expert Norfolk Electrician

Norfolk is not like any other city in Hampton Roads. Our close proximity to the world’s largest naval base and our unique coastal environment mean that local electrical systems face specific challenges. Salt-air corrosion can degrade outdoor wiring faster, and the historic nature of neighborhoods like Colonial Place often requires specialized knowledge of older systems like knob-and-tube or ungrounded aluminum wiring.


At Hatchett Electrical, we pride ourselves on being "Norfolk-strong." We know the local building codes, the permitting process at Norfolk City Hall, and exactly what it takes to modernize a historic property without losing its charm.

Comprehensive Residential Services

Your home is your sanctuary, and safety is our top priority. We provide a full range of residential services tailored to the needs of Norfolk homeowners:

  • Panel Upgrades & Replacements: Many older Norfolk homes are still running on 60-amp or 100-amp service. We can upgrade your system to 200 amps to handle modern HVAC systems, high-end appliances, and home theaters.
  • EV Charger Installation: As Virginia moves toward an electric future, we provide professional installation for Level 2 home charging stations, ensuring your vehicle is ready for the commute to the shipyard or the beach.
  • Historic Home Rewiring: We specialize in the careful removal of outdated wiring and the installation of code-compliant copper wiring and AFCI/GFCI protection.
  • Troubleshooting & Repairs: From dead outlets to mysterious "burning" smells, our diagnostic experts find the root of the problem fast.
