SERVICES
Construction and maintenance, under one roof
White Electric has delivered commercial electrical and fire alarm work across Hampton Roads since 1983. Two core service lines, one licensed shop.
DIVISION 26 · CONSTRUCTION
Commercial construction
Design-build electrical and fire alarm work for new construction and renovation projects. Our teams work under the supervision of licensed Master Electricians to meet NEC, fire/safety code and OSHA requirements at every stage.
Ground-up commercial buildings
Service entrance, distribution, branch wiring, site lighting and utility coordination on new construction.
Tenant fit-ups & build-outs
Office, retail, medical and restaurant spaces turned over on schedule, punch list closed fast.
Design-build & design-assist
Early budget pricing, load calcs and constructability input before the drawings lock.
Service & distribution upgrades
Panelboards, switchgear, transformers, feeders and 3-phase service increases with planned shutdowns.
Site & parking lot lighting
Poles, bases, circuiting, photocell and controls for lots, drives and building exteriors.
Renovations & adaptive reuse
Working live in occupied buildings, phased so the tenant keeps operating.
EXISTING BUILDINGS · SERVICE
Service & maintenance
Trucks stocked, techs who know your building, and a dispatcher who picks up. Small calls handled like they matter, because that is how the big ones start.
Troubleshooting & repair
Nuisance tripping, dead circuits, failed contactors, burned lugs — found and fixed, not guessed at.
Preventive maintenance programs
Scheduled panel inspections, torque checks, thermal scans and documented findings.
Lighting & retrofits
Interior and exterior relamps, fixture replacement, controls and occupancy sensors.
Life-safety & code compliance
Exit and emergency lighting testing, GFCI/AFCI corrections, and closing out inspection violations.
Equipment & tenant connections
Dedicated circuits, disconnects, kitchen and production equipment hookups.
Service & panel upgrades
Capacity studies and panel upgrades sized to what the building actually needs.
HOW A PROJECT RUNS
From first call to closeout
The same four steps whether it's a small panel change or a six-figure build — the paperwork just gets thicker.
STEP 1
Scope
We take your plans or walk the site, ask the questions that change the price, and confirm what the AHJ will expect.
STEP 2
Proposal
A written, itemized number with inclusions and exclusions spelled out.
STEP 3
Build
Permits pulled, materials staged, crews scheduled against your dates, and one point of contact who answers the phone.
STEP 4
Close & support
Inspections passed, panels labeled, and then we're still here when you need service.
SAFETY
A safe job is a job that finishes on schedule
Electrical work is the trade where shortcuts show up as arc flash, downtime and OSHA recordables. Our electricians are trained and equipped to work safely — on our sites and on yours.
70E
Energized work practices
Arc-flash boundaries, appropriate PPE, and a strong bias toward de-energizing and verifying before hands go in the gear.
LOTO
Lockout tagout discipline
Documented isolation on every shutdown, coordinated with building staff.
OSHA
Trained field crews
OSHA-trained electricians, licensed journeymen and apprentices working under supervision.
SITE
Your rules on your property
Site-specific orientation, badging and occupied-building protocols for healthcare and retail.
