Castles installed an EV charger and re-worked my electrical panel to accommodate the breaker. Wiring was routed under my house to the charger which Wayne mounted to the front of my house. The charger location is great, the conduit is routed and sealed neatly and professionally, and the drywall that was removed was put back in place perfectly.Wiring was also ran in two of the upstairs bedrooms and dimmers were installed.Wayne also installed our lights and put together our chandelier, which had dozens of pieces and was extremely tedious.We had recently received an estimate from a larger company for the same work. They gave us the wrong information about our electrical panel to try and sell us something we didn’t need. Our estimate was three times as much as the one Castles provided.We are extremely happy with the work Wayne and his partner did. We are definitely going with Castles for future electrical work and we recommend you do the same!

For those of you looking for a PowerWall 3 install review - here it is:Castles Electrical and Solar is a certified installer on the Tesla website. I contacted them to request a quote as well as an installer from Richmond, VA. Their quote was extremely competitive and I decided to agree. Before doing so, I like many others, read every single review on here. I wasnt able to find a Powerwall install review but the numerous 5 star reviews for Tesla Wall Connector installs really showed his level of detail.Wayne Castles (owner of Castles Electrical and Solar) came to my home for an initial inspection. He answered about a dozen of my questions and I could really see the heightened level of knowledge and detail. He also informed me that some parts used in my 2020 solar panel install by a competitor, were now not UL listed and basically illegal to use. He would be replacing those during his install. I am someone who prefers to know if things werent done right and he was able to spot these types of details and communicate them.After agreeing to the estimate, Wayne began the process of ordering two PowerWall 3s from his vendor. After a few weeks, Wayne was informed by the vendor that Teslas factory that shipped out Powerwalls actually shut down so they were still catching up. I received a call from Wayne the moment he was able to secure two PW3s and scheduled the install dates.Wayne and his associate Robert arrived in the morning and began their work. They first mounted the PW3s to the garage wall which required another associate to arrive since each one is a little less than 300 pounds. He had to remove a 2 by 6 foot section of drywall beneath the electrical panel in order to install the wiring behind. The Backup Gateway was mounted to the wall next and he began to shape the metal piping that he uses to connect the wires from the PW3 to the Backup Gateway. He also had to drill out a hole under the meter outside to feed it directly into the Dominion Energy meter. During the install process, he also ended up moving my Tesla Wall Connector behind the drywall which looks much cleaner than it was before (see before picture). I am absolutely pleased with how clean the entire install looks.Observing the extremely high level of attention to detail and the many questions I asked during the install, Wayne is by the far the only contractor I have been excited to write a review for. Im upset that I didnt find him in 2020 when I had my solar system installed. He is now my dedicated electrician and I would implore anyone looking for electrical or solar work to give Wayne a call.

Wayne is a professional at his craft who exceeds expectations.He gave a fair quote, was able to fit me in his schedule within a reasonable time frame, had the ability to explain the system in detail, and best of all when the work was complete he took out a broom and dustpan and made sure the work area was as clean as when he found it. Incredible!Wayne has my highest recommendation to anyone who is in need of an electrician.

Wayne did a great job at replacing our electrical panel and installing a NEMA 14-50 outlet to charge our EV. He is also a certified Tesla charger installer in the area. He also let us use his truck to power our refrigerator to make sure our food didnt go bad. I highly recommend him and his company to do your electrical needs.

Amazing work. This company is the exact definition of professional. Wayne Castle was on time for both the estimate and to do the work. His time estimate was spot on. He answered all of our questions as he did the work. He was extremely friendly and cleaned up as he did the work. I would HIGHLY recommend this company for your electrical needs and avoid those big name places.Just for the purpose of showing pictures, I removed the switches and outlet from the boxes he installed to show you the care he took to make sure the work was clean and safe. Then took time to explain why he did it.work done : 1) install canless circle light above shower and install new wiring and add a third switch to operate the light2) Remove old bathroom vent fan then cut old dry wall to install a new bathroom vent fan and wire to a third switch.3) wire vanity wires to third switchThe ceiling dry wall was left as is and not a reflection of this companies work.I will certainly use this company again in the future. Thank you

I recently had an exceptional experience with Castles Electrical (Wayne), when he helped fix my Powerwall, that was incorrectly install from a different company. From the moment we contacted him, Wayne demonstrated outstanding professionalism and a deep understanding of the technology. He quickly diagnosed the issue and explained the necessary steps to resolve it in a way that was easy to understand. Wayne punctuality and efficiency were remarkable, ensuring my Powerwall was in perfect working condition in no time. I highly recommend their services to anyone in need of reliable and knowledgeable electrical work. I will definitely use Castle Electrical again for any electrical problems.

Wayne was very flexible and did a great job installing my Tesla 240v outlet and circuit breaker so I could charge my new Tesla Y. He went above and beyond by running additional wire in case I want to have a Tesla wall connector installed sometime in the future. very reasonably price compared to other electricians I received an estimate from.

Look no further than Castles Electrical for your electrical service needs. I just had my level 2 EV charger installed and it was one of the best service experiences. Wayne is personable, professional, and knowledgeable. He arrived on time, explained the process and offered a good value for the install. We will be using Castles Electrical for any future electrical service needs!

A great experience with Wayne and Castle Electrical. Wayne’s communication was great and he’s flexible. It’s obvious he’s knowledgeable and got the work done quickly and top quality. While I used the company for a Tesla wall charger installation, I’ve found my new electrician! Give them a call for all of your electrical and solar needs. I’ll also be using them when I get my solar roof installed. Excellent overall experience that’ll keep me coming back.

Wayne was great. Had him install 2 ceiling fans in a room with VERY tall ceilings and did a wonderful job. He even asked if we wanted them setup on the same remote frequency so we could control both with the same remote and it was a great suggestion since theyre in the same room. Flexible. Easy to schedule. Fair pricing. Will definitely use and recommend him again in the future.

We kept having our power go out on a GFI on our porch and Castles came at the appropriate time, found the problem and repaired it. Very reasonable rates and all in all a very good experience with, to us, a new contractor. He let me know some good information for other work we are planning and we will use him for that as well. Clearly, a company we feel we can trust for honesty and great work.

Excellent work. Wayne is extremelly knowledgeable, honest, and has fair prices. He is able to explain things in a manner you can understand and gets the job done fast.

I recently purchased a house that required a number of electrical items to be looked at, including items with the electrical panel and even a pool light. Wayne responded quickly to my request for an estimate. He provided an itemized list of what would cost, which is always helpful to see. Before, during, and after the job, Wayne provided updates and was very easy to communicate with. He completed the job when he said he would and provided pictures of what was done. I would definitely work with Castles Electrical again!

Wayne came to install 30amp service for my RV on the side of house and add a outlet to my master bath. The work was fast and clean for a complete re-work to the panel! I inquired about fixing a hot tub circuit when he was here and he did it on the spot. Great service!!!!

Review 54 (2022-10-09 - Rating: 5)
I was informed by my insurance company that I had to have my electrical panel replaced or certified by an electrician to continue to be covered due to the age of the panel. Wayne came out quickly was right on time. Looked at the panel did the appropriate inspection and informed me the panel looked great and was well done. The biggest thing I would like to say is this took integrity. Could he have told me the unit needed replace and make more money off of me, yes. Would I have been the wiser, no. There are many others that likely would have sold me either on a full upgrade or some other work that wasn’t necessary. I appreciate that. I will absolutely look forward to reaching out when we have another electrical need as I know he will do what is needed, do it well with honesty and integrity. This is the type of business I enjoy giving my business to.
