Your Expert Local Electrician for "Ham Town"

Smithfield is unique. Property owners here manage everything from sensitive, aging wiring in historic landmark manors to the high-capacity electrical demands of modern new constructions near the Cypress Creek Golf Course. Furthermore, our location nestled along the James and Pagan Rivers means local electrical systems must be resilient against the high humidity and coastal weather patterns unique to 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 Smithfield property safe, efficient, and modern.
