Electrical Panel Replacements & Upgrades
Today’s homes place greater demands on electrical systems, and older or undersized panels may not have the capacity for modern appliances, HVAC equipment, EV chargers, or additional circuits. Kohler Electric provides panel upgrades and replacements designed around the electrical demands of your home.
We evaluate the existing system, perform load calculations when needed, and identify issues such as frequent breaker trips, limited panel space, outdated equipment, or overheating. From permitting through installation and inspection, we focus on a properly sized, organized, code-compliant electrical system built for the way your home is used.
​
EV Charger Installation
Kohler Electric installs Level 2 EV chargers for homes throughout Chesapeake, with each installation planned around the vehicle, charging requirements, and existing electrical system. We evaluate available capacity, determine the appropriate circuit and equipment, and route the installation to suit the home.
From permitting and installation through final inspection, we handle the electrical work from start to finish. The result is a properly sized, code-compliant charging setup designed for how you actually use your vehicle.
​
Electrical Troubleshooting & Repairs
Electrical problems aren’t always obvious, and finding the source often requires looking beyond the first symptom. We diagnose recurring breaker trips, partial power loss, flickering lights, faulty outlets, damaged wiring, and other electrical problems in Chesapeake homes and businesses.
Using circuit tracing, electrical testing, and thermal imaging when appropriate, we investigate everything from common electrical faults to complex, intermittent issues. Our approach emphasizes identifying the underlying problem and determining the appropriate repairs, rather than replacing equipment unnecessarily.

Indoor & Outdoor Lighting Installation
Kohler Electric provides lighting installation throughout Chesapeake for homes, renovations, and commercial spaces. We consider the existing wiring, fixture placement, switching and controls, light output, and color temperature to ensure the installation fits the space and how it will be used.
From recessed lighting and fixtures to dimmers, exterior lighting, and LED upgrades, we focus on proper placement, clean installation, and reliable operation. Whether you’re updating a single room or completing a larger lighting project, we’ll help determine what the space requires and install it properly.
​
Commercial Electrical Services
Kohler Electric provides commercial electrical services throughout Chesapeake for offices, retail spaces, and other commercial properties. From tenant buildouts and panel upgrades to lighting, dedicated circuits, troubleshooting, and repairs, we handle electrical work around the needs of the business and the existing system.
Commercial work requires careful planning and minimal disruption. From smaller service calls to larger installations and buildouts, we coordinate the electrical work, follow applicable codes, and keep communication clear throughout the project.
