Your local electrician, headquartered in Bedford County’s Goode, VA.

Your Roanoke Area Electrician

Roanoke, Virginia is the largest city in our service area and the economic anchor of the Roanoke Valley. Built between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny mountains and split by the Roanoke River, the city is best known for the iconic Mill Mountain Star, the world’s largest illuminated man-made star, and as the medical and business center of southwest Virginia. Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital, the Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine, and a busy downtown market district anchor the city, while neighborhoods from South Roanoke to Grandin Village to Cave Spring fill out a metro area of nearly 250,000 people.

HOLISTIQ Building Systems serves Roanoke from our Goode, VA headquarters about forty-five minutes east via US Route 460 or I-81. Roanoke is a substantial part of our service radius and we travel for projects that justify the distance: full solar installs, panel upgrades, EV chargers, generator installs, and new construction wiring. Our crew arrives equipped for one-trip installs on most residential work, and we coordinate directly with Appalachian Power for service and interconnection paperwork.

Roanoke’s housing stock spans more than a century, from craftsman homes in Old Southwest and Wasena to mid-century neighborhoods in Cave Spring and Hidden Valley to newer construction along Electric Road and beyond. That range translates to a wide spectrum of electrical conditions: many older Roanoke homes still run on 100-amp panels and original wiring that need full upgrades, while newer homes often need EV chargers, surge protection, and solar tie-ins added. We work across the full range and we are equally comfortable on a 1925 Old Southwest home or a 2020 build in South County.

Services Available in Roanoke

As your local certified electrician and solar installer, we deliver every HOLISTIQ service with the same disciplined work standards across the Roanoke area.

Panel Upgrades

Roanoke has a deep stock of older homes, particularly in Old Southwest, Wasena, Grandin Village, and Raleigh Court, where the original 100-amp panel is still in service decades past its design life. We upgrade to 200-amp panels with proper grounding, modern AFCI/GFCI breakers, and full whole-home surge protection.

EV Charger Installation

EV adoption is high in Roanoke, particularly in South County and along the Electric Road corridor. We install all major Level 2 charger brands: Tesla Wall Connector, ChargePoint, Wallbox, JuiceBox, Enphase, wired on dedicated 240V circuits, with any panel or service upgrades handled as part of the same job.

Commercial Electrical

Roanoke’s commercial corridors generate steady demand for tenant fit-outs, panel and service upgrades, EV charging at multifamily properties, and lighting retrofits. We handle commercial projects with the same discipline as residential, fully permitted and inspected, with minimal disruption to your operations.

Solar Panel Installation

Roanoke gets strong solar production despite the surrounding mountains. We design grid-tied and grid-tied-with-battery systems oriented for the specific roof and shading conditions of your Roanoke property, file the Appalachian Power interconnection, and walk you through every applicable incentive.

Backup Battery Installation

Pair a solar array with a Tesla Powerwall or other certified battery and your Roanoke home keeps essential circuits running through outages without the noise or fuel cost of a generator. We size systems based on your actual usage and the circuits that matter most when the grid goes down.

Whole-Home Generators

For Roanoke homes that want backup power without solar, we install Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton standby generators sized for the full electrical load, with automatic transfer switches and natural gas or propane fuel connections handled in-house.

Why Roanoke Chooses HOLISTIQ

Roanoke homeowners and businesses have plenty of options for electrical and solar work, and the right contractor needs to bring more than just a license. HOLISTIQ runs a small, disciplined crew where the same certified technicians scope your project, quote it, and perform the work. Communication is direct, our quotes are itemized, our work is fully permitted, and we do not subcontract the electrical scope to whoever is available.

Founder Josh Smith is a Navy veteran who runs HOLISTIQ with the same discipline he brought to military service. As a certified electrician and certified solar installer, Josh personally reviews every Roanoke-area design before it goes into the field. We are equally comfortable on a century-old Old Southwest home, a mid-century Cave Spring split-level, or a 2020 South County new build: every project gets the same attention to detail and code-correct execution.

We coordinate directly with the Roanoke City and Roanoke County building departments and with Appalachian Power for every Roanoke install. Permit and interconnection paperwork is handled in-house so you are not pulled into the utility or municipal bureaucracy that can slow down electrical and solar projects, particularly in older neighborhoods with grandfathered service configurations.

Roanoke Electrical & Solar FAQs

Is Roanoke inside your regular service area?
Yes. Roanoke is a substantial part of our service radius, about 45 minutes west of our Goode, VA headquarters via US 460 or I-81. We travel to Roanoke routinely for both residential and commercial projects, and we do not charge a travel surcharge.
Can you upgrade the panel in an Old Southwest home?
Absolutely. Old Southwest, Wasena, Grandin Village, and Raleigh Court are full of homes built between 1900 and 1940 that still have their original electrical panels. We upgrade them to modern 200-amp panels, update the service entrance and meter base as needed, ground every circuit properly, and add whole-home surge protection.
Do you install EV chargers in apartment or condo buildings?
Yes. We install Level 2 EV chargers in single-family homes, townhomes, condos, and apartment buildings. Multifamily installs sometimes require service upgrades or load management equipment to support multiple chargers, and we handle that engineering in-house.
Is solar productive in Roanoke given the surrounding mountains?
Yes. Despite the surrounding ridges, Roanoke gets approximately 4.4 to 4.6 peak sun hours per day, which delivers strong production for properly oriented systems. We perform on-site shade analysis for every Roanoke property to confirm production before designing the system.
Do you handle commercial electrical work in Roanoke?
Yes. We handle tenant fit-outs, panel and service upgrades, lighting retrofits, multifamily EV charging, and small to mid-scale commercial solar. Larger industrial projects are handled case-by-case based on scope and timeline. Commercial quotes are itemized and timelines are committed in writing.
What other areas near Roanoke do you serve?
In addition to Roanoke, our regular service area includes Bedford, Goode (our headquarters), Lynchburg, and the surrounding Bedford County and Campbell County communities. See our full service areas page for complete coverage and our project gallery for recent installs.
