Testimonials

  • “I did not realize how much energy the old style light fixtures wasted. Many of our four lamp overhead fixtures were replaced with two lamp fixtures equipped with reflectors. This alone translated into tremendous savings on our energy bill. The math doesn’t lie. These savings are real and we have seen a noticeable reduction in our power bill. Your crew did an excellent installation job, the work was done professionally and they were respectful of our work schedule. To anyone considering this project, I would say the savings are real, the improved lighting is significant, and Smartwire will get the job done right.”

    -Morris Shelton, President, L & M Carpet One

  • “The work was completed during business hours and there was little or no interruption to our tenant. Your electricians were courteous and professional. As a property manager, I genuinely appreciated having the project completed in a timely manner without tenant complaints. The lighting quality is extraordinary! The project was a success and we look forward to receiving lower electricity bills in the future. I would strongly recommend Smartwire.”

    -Tracy J. Allen, Senior Property Manager, First Potomac Management

  • “Frank Morton and I would like to thank you for the excellent service and superior work in upgrading the lighting in the Bon Air Professional Building. We would also like to thank you for the courteous and accommodating efforts of your work crew. The work was completed in the time frame promised with little interruption to our staff and our tenants. The lighting is dramatically better than what we have been used to, and we look forward to the energy savings and reduced power bills in the future.”

    - Hairfield & Morton, Attorneys at Law

  • “A significant amount of energy savings was projected prior to the installation, and we now have power bills for the last three months indicating reduced power consumption of 35%. In fact, the savings have been so significant that a representative of Dominion Virgina Power recently made an unannounced visit to our plant to ensure there wasn’t some problem with the power meters. Once he arrived and saw the new LED lights, he understood the reason for the reduced consumption.”

    -Kevin Metheny, Accounting Manager, Pre Con, Inc.

  • “Outstanding company to work with. Recently did a complete replacement of lights in our office building, replacing old fluorescents with new efficient LED lights. A major change in the inside appearance and a huge savings on the electric bill. Smartwire reached out to us as Dominion Power was offering huge rebates to convert. The team at Smartwire handled everything from start to finish and the job was completed in six days with no disruptions to staff at all. Can't say enough great things about the entire staff at Smartwire. If you are looking for an efficient, courteous electrical contractor, look no further Smartwire is all that. You won't be disappointed!”
