These folks promised to come out and move a can light and a few electrical boxes for us and left us holding the bag not once, not twice, but three times. My wife has had to take off work to wait for them the past two instances - and all we get are excuses which boil down to being unprepared and discourteous. If you can't come, you should call and explain - but all I got was "oh, we sent you an email last night saying we had to reschedule." That email never made it to my inbox. So simple and straightforward (and courteous) to call and ensure your customer confirms receipt. Suggest you take your electrical needs elsewhere. read more

Some good, some bad. Called them on Saturday and they were able to come out to us on Monday. We scheduled an appointment for 2-3pm, the electrician came to the house at 10:30am (which is not ideal but worked out because I was not in a meeting for work at this time). The electrician was very nice and seemed very knowledgeable. I was a bit shocked at the hourly rate, $175/hour seems excessive but maybe that's the going rate for outdoor electrical. The electrician said he was going to fix a broken connector but didn't fix it. A bit frustrating since he showed it to me and we agreed he'd fix it. The bill says I was charged an additional $250 for liquid tight and wire and a new liquid right connector (which from my perspective and attached picture wasn't fixed). Overall, I'm grateful that they came but a bit frustrated of the results. read more

Vincent and his crew did a remarkable job with the installation of a sub panel and components for our new pool. He made many recommendations and was very thorough with the details on what was involved. They installed a 240v Hayward pool heater, 110v Jandy pool pump, wireless Jandy Iaqua-link low voltage system, ran 20amp service to my shed and back patio, and he relocated/wired up our hot tub. The work was clean and very professional. The knowledge he has is unbelievable. He worked with the other contractors to keep on schedule and also worked with the county to make sure all was inspected prior to covering/closing. I couldn't ask for a better company to do the job. The time it took to do things right the first time is always important. LV electric is one of a kind. If you ever want honesty, integrity and good pricing, you want LV. Thank you for helping us make our dreams come true! I will be needing some other things done. Will definitely use them again! read more

LV Electric has done a few projects for us over the years. We are always amazed at their professionalism and work. They went above and beyond by finding a major fire hazard then replacing the whole circuit panel within a couple of days! The county inspector inspected their work and was very impressed. He said, "Whoever did this, must take a great deal of pride in their work! Most electricians definitely don't take the time to be as thorough..." Thank you LV Electric! See you next time! read more

Called LV for a complex GFI problem. Amazing customer service. I found my new "go to" electricians!

We paid ~$900 to mount two chandeliers and get the tv room up, and the only thing that was satisfactory were the chandeliers. Not one thing that was done LV Electric in the TV room worked, and it should of been a pretty simple project. 1) recommended HMDI cables were too short 2) recommended IR Repeater did not work - had to return 3) solution to fix the short HDMI cables with extenders did not work, and frankly was not the best idea. Now I am convinced after running new wire myself, that they simply didnt want to re-do it, and looked for the quick fix. 4) The new IR emitter/repeated that was sold to us is defective , now leaving me with cabling in wall unsure whether it works or not, and leaving me with to purchase yet another one 5) Re-schedule time was a week later, leaving me with no option but to fix everything myself due to the upcoming holiday. 6) Dri - Wall Patch job in the TV room would be considered poor at best 7) Consistently late, 4 hours late one day. read more

Didn't do what they agreed to do. Said dimmers were included the. Billed for them separately. Send handymen to do the install, who went over the project with me then ignored everything we agreed to. read more

I have been using LV electric for several years and I have been very happy with their service. Various projects have included the installation of lights, video Ring cameras and troubleshooting electrical problems which were resolved. read more

We just had Vincent and his crew do work on our house in Alexandria. He helped correct and complete incomplete and incorrectly-installed work left by a previous contractor who was just too overbooked for his own good. Not only did Vincent and his crew show up on time every time they said they'd show up (if you've had experience with residential contractors, you know what I'm talking about), but they did their work efficiently - and cleaned up after themselves even while having to stomp through our snow- and mud-covered (regraded) back yard this winter to install electrical wiring, conduits, and panels for our new garage, as well as a new dedicated outlet for a portable generator. Whenever I had a question, Vincent was readily reachable for an answer, and if he was occupied, he gave me an accurate time frame as to when he could answer my questions or concerns. He walked me through all aspects of his work so that I would understand not only the elements that I'll see at the completion of the project, but also the hidden-from-view infrastructure and the how's and why's of what he was installing. His and his team's attention to detail exceeded my expectations, as an architect, of any contractor working on my projects. Their depth of knowledge and conscientiousness for the work they were installing were real, live, walking examples of my expectations that any homeowner, whether in the industry or not, should understand their house (and what goes into their house structure) the way they should understand how to operate their car - and not just take what they see and how the house operates for granted. If I could get these guys on my commercial projects, I know they'd do a great job. All in all - a really professional crew, and they're on my electrical short list for future projects. No wait - they ARE my electrical short list for future projects. read more

LV electric is great. The team was very friendly, on time and more importantly honest. I got great work done at very reasonable prices. I will be calling them for all of my electrical needs. I recommend them without hesitation. read more

Recently we needed to have electrical service before a new appliance could be installed in our home. We sought customer reviews of LV Electric (LV) on their website as well as other companies. LV had many excellent reviews for response speed, competency and quality of work. On the strength of those satisfied customer reviews we engaged LV's services. Unfortunately, the work they did was not up to code nor quality of ethical standards. We contracted with LV to upgrade a 120 amp outlet with a 240 amp to accommodate the installation of a new kitchen range. Two men came to our home and installed the required range plug, however, we quickly discovered that the box needed for the 3 prong plug was not secured by anything but drywall. The box should have been installed so that it was supported by a wall stud, not mere drywall. The range installers needed to plug and unplug the range several times. When unplugging the range plug out of the socket, the outlet box pulled out of drywall. LV cut a corner on their work that was potentially a hazard. Also during their work in the kitchen, they disconnected the microwave. When we contacted LV about the problem, they informed us: 1) the microwave needed a dedicated line, 2) the additional work was not covered by the original quote, and 3) they were too busy to return to the house to fix the problem. I feel that the original workers could have told us that the dedicated microwave line was wrong and fixed it during the initial visit (we would have gladly paid the additional charge beyond the original job quote for an outlet- strict adherence to the original job order was never an issue). Instead, after LV's visit we had a range that couldn't be installed and a non-working microwave. Electricians' work is hidden behind walls, so the homeowner must trust in competent, licensed, and bonded workmanship. Potential new customers rely on reviews such as this on the company website as we did. LV Electric did shoddy work and refused to correct the problem. LV Electric's work for us was unprofessional, substandard and hazardous. We could never recommend them to others. read more

We were very pleased with the work done. Had several light fixtures installed by Arthuro who was on time, worked at a good pace, and was very considerate. All the fixtures were installed very well and everything was cleaned up afterward. We would recommend LV and will definitely call them again for our next project. read more

Great team! Vincent gave a thoughtful and accurate estimate of the work and the team worked to get our kitchen and bathroom lighting coordinated and installed in a way that was even more effective than we had anticipated. We are more than pleased with our new lights, switches and design!! read more

I had LV Electric install a 50amp outlet in my garage. It was nice to see them put down plastic before cutting into the ceiling, and then patching the holes afterward. A lot of electricians would have left the holes for the homeowner to fix. No issues, and they did a good job. read more

Based on previous Yelp reviews I decided to give them a call about getting a whole house surge protector. Vincent called me back the next morning and after a discussion on a couple solutions he emailed me two specific models for me to choose. I made an appointment soon afterward and his guy was on time and done fairly quick. All in all a great experience. read more

These guys are awesome, prompt, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. I had a short somewhere in my basement, and Jerry came out to throughly check my outlets and switches. He explained everything he was doing along the way, offered tips for wiring best practices, and just provided an overall excellent customer experience. I am definitely giving them a call for any and all future electrical needs! read more

Called Vince with an issue with my Halloween lights display. He was very prompt and discovered the cause. He made the repairs and now the kids in my neighborhood will not be disappointed. His rates are comparable with others in the area. I will be using him again in the future. read more

Vince and the guys have done excellent work for us over the past few years. They are attentive, clean, and detail oriented. They installed multiple old work lights in our previous Leesburg home, diagnosed and corrected faulty wiring, and installed a number of new fixtures for us. Highly recommended! read more

These guys are fantastic. Vincent came out and gave me a quote for recessed lighting in my family/living rooms. He was very nice and kept me informed of what I needed and how to arrange my lights. We scheduled (on 6/30) to have the lights installed on the 9th of July as that was his earliest availability. They patch the drywall with a single layer of spackle and you are to finish the rest and have it painted (most people don't even do the first patch!). I called a paint and crown molding company and they were only available on the 4th and 5th of July and wayyy later after that. I called Vincent to see if there was anyway he could squeeze in the recessed lighting on the 3rd of July to ensure the paint and crown molding guys could do their job on the 4th and 5th. Vincent was very accommodating and was able to get me scheduled in on the 3rd!! That is what great customer service is about! On the 3rd, Arthuro and Raul came to my place and started working right away, they were very polite and very knowledgeable! They kept my carpet and furniture very clean using drop cloths and plastic sheets. I was a bit skeptical as they made holes in the ceiling about how the patching would look. Arthuro was extremely nice and seemed to know his stuff very well, he was quick as well! After they finished installing the lights with dimmers and two switches in one room and a single switch and dimmer in another room, they proceeded to do a great job patching up! The job was absolutely clean, and I could not have been happier. I got the right amount of lights without being 'pushed' for more. This company is a pleasure to work with and I look forward to using and recommending them to my family and friends! Looking forward to having lights installed on the deck and possibly more recessed lighting in my bedrooms. Thank you Vincent, Arthuro, and Raul for a job well done!! read more

Great work and Great prices.. Work was done Professionally and neat. Very pleased with all around experience using LV Electric.

Danny and his crew were very helpful with our electrical problems. They took the time to explain to me the root cause as to why my outlets were melting, and even took the initiative to inspect the other outlets in our house. He identified multiple other problems and fixed them as well. They are also very responsive to calls! We found our go-to electrician in the area!! read more

Vince was quick to respond to my call, provide a professional and reasonable quote and schedule the work for recessed lights for my living room. He covered the area to avoid a mess and cleaned up the room before he left. The only recommendation I have for him is to finalize his strategy of what needs to be done before doing major alterations. We ended up having a couple of unwanted holes in the ceiling that he had to patch up and I believe they could've been avoided had he thought through this ahead of time. All-in-all, great experience so would definitely recommend to others. read more

I should have known something was up when Vincent's own guy was detailing how bad it is working for him. Also, he smiled and chuckled when I told him what Vincent quoted me. I should have listened to my gut. Vincent is a wiseguy who lied to me about the cost of something and then did the work and charged me more. Classic bait-and-switch move. He also lost his cool and then tried to apologize to keep me as a customer. HA! Buyer beware... read more

I paid $390 to fix a shorted receptacle. I would use another one next time.

A friend recommended them and said they did a good job putting in some recess lights. I called, talked to a friendly guy, and set up a free estimate for the next evening . They never showed. It's 2 days later and have never heard from them. Not sure what happened, but not using them! read more

Used these guys for some nuisance electrical issues around the house. They took care of all the issues, and provided helpful information for preventing them from happening again, and how to troubleshoot them if they do. Greatly appreciated that, since two of the three issues were much more minor than anticipated! I am taking one star off because they were over 45 minutes late and did not call to let me know. If I had been on a tighter schedule I would have had to cancel and reschedule them, but luckily i was working from home all day so it was not a huge issue. I would certainly use them again. read more

LV Electric, LLC is a company with integrity! Vince visited our home, gave us an estimate(s) based on the things needed and wanted. What I really appreciated is the frank communication. A professional at his/her trade can tell you anything. Unless you have knowledge of the particular issue at hand, you find yourself at another's mercy. I believe this company prides itself on being open and honest. We actually had some very shoddy work done in the past which left our house vulnerable to fire! We were clueless, until Vince actually showed us the incorrect wiring that was done in two rooms. As I mentioned ... unless you have knowledge of electrical work, you are at another's mercy. This company does excellent work!!! They installed lighting and did some re-wiring on Monday 12/16. We are already planning to have them come back in January for some other work. I have been recommending this company to friends since our first estimate and I have a strong feeling that I will continue to do so in the future. read more

Called Vince and his colleagues to install a chandelier 20ft up in our hallway, he was on site really quick and the job was complete within 30mins. Top man and great work very happy and highly recommended. Thanks to yelp and the other reviewers read more

Vincent and co were prompt and friendly. We had 4 items to be hung involving very high ceilings and over stairs. Did a great job and were the most reasonably priced electrician I could find in the area and I did some homework. Would highly recommend and will use again! read more

Contacted LV Electric (lvelectricity@gmail.com) and got prompt response to all questions. Set up on site visit for estimate of work to be done: installation of 7 recessed lights and one light in a closet. Price was very reasonable. Work done on 12/12/13 and was very pleased. Work area left clean and all trash removed. Communicated during work to ensure everything was being done to satisfaction. Even did minor drywall repairs, where necessary, which was a real plus; just need to have sanded and painted now. Will definitely recommend and use again! read more

I used them twice and thought everything was ok until we had strange issues with our alarm system. Called the Alarm Company and they said LV had taken a shortcut and drawn power for our doorbell they installed from the alarm system. Called them to come out and they did not show twice. Kept trying to get him out but all he would do is send texts back to my number saying we told him it was working. It worked after he left but it took time for the alarm system to get destroyed by what he did. Luckily we had a warranty on the alarm system which was replaced. Called another electrician and he reinstalled the doorbell. So I would not recommend anyone use this company and will be taking this matter to court to recover the initial fees. read more

I have never utilized this business services, nor will I ever. Here is why. Reckless driving by the driver of this business's van that will indeed be reported to our local police department. Today, I was driving with my mother and my two small children back home. Not even feet away from our community's entrance, on a narrow road, this company's van comes FLYING and barreling behind us. We naturally slowed down and put our turn signal on to turn left into our development. Apparently, the driver of LV Electric was in the hurry of a lifetime, as he sped dangerously past our car, where there was hardly any room to do so, coming not even two inches away from our car - it was a one lane road, and it was illegal to pass on our right. And he had the AUDACITY to honk at us. Well, the police will be getting a report from me on this one. Parents - think twice before hiring someone who nearly caused a terrible accident to a family of four. Giving this business a one star makes me cringe. Update: POLICE REPORT COMPLETE FOR RECKLESS DRIVING AND ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF FOUR PASSENGERS FOR LV ELECTRIC LLC. P.S. I shared this review on FB so that my entire NoVA community could see it. read more

I have only a few problems with the work that was completed. I have a huge problem with the way my house was left - there was sanding that went on and they didn't even coverup my belongings. I had to litteraly throw a couple of things out that had splattered paint on them. They used my garage to cut wood as it was very cold out-they did not even sweep up the wood dust. They left the trash-including their empty bottles of water (which I supplied to them) and when I asked Vince to come back and take it away-he said to help me out he would. Really, to help ME out? I paid for that! I also asked him to come back and take a look at how they have left my house-he was not very happy with me. Again, really? I had big splats of caulking on my brand new crockpot! One on the helpers-took a pitcher that was on my kitchen counter that I was making tea in - emptied it out and left the dripping tea bags on my counter and used the pitcher for drywalling. There were several of my tools they needed to use. The same helper, ate some pizza I had purchased for them and left it in the frig. He helped himself to it (which I told him to). I provided paper plates and napkins. When I was out, he found my real dishes in my cabinet, used one and left the dirty dish in the sink for me to clean. At one point, Vince asked me how things were going with the helper (the helper was nearby) and I told Vince I would like to talk to him about a couple of issues, but later-Vince (the owner of this company) never even asked me later what the issues were. I was charged an additional $100.00 for a few tiles that needed to go into the added closet (which that $100.00 should have been figured into the original estimate-this was not an additional job request). After paying the extra $100.00-they used a dark tan grout and the rest of the grout in white. read more
