Comprehensive HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical & Home Generator Services in Charlottesville, VA
Heating and Cooling in Charlottesville
Our heating services and cooling services cover furnaces, heat pumps, boilers, air conditioners, and ductless systems, from repair through replacement. Charlottesville has a full heating season and a full cooling season, so both sides of a system see heavy use. A tune-up before each season lets a technician catch worn parts before the busiest weeks. Members of our Energy Savings Agreement get priority scheduling for those visits.
Plumbing in Charlottesville
Our plumbing services cover water heaters, leaks, fixtures, sewer lines, and drains, with photos of the problem taken before the repair. Homes outside the city on private wells can also call us for well service and water treatment.
Electrical in Charlottesville
Electrical work is where Robertson started, and our electrical services cover panel upgrades, wiring, lighting, surge protection, and EV charger circuits. Panel capacity is checked before a charger or a generator adds load.
Home Generators in Charlottesville
Our home generator services size, install, and maintain standby generators that start automatically when the power goes out. Winter ice and summer thunderstorms both bring down lines in the Charlottesville area, and a standby unit keeps heat, well pumps, and refrigeration running until power returns.
FAQs
What does Robertson Electric photograph during a job?
Our technicians photograph the equipment and the work, so you can see the problem they found and the repair they made. The photos give you a record you can refer back to.
Can Robertson handle the electrical work for a new heat pump or generator?
Yes. Because our team covers electrical, HVAC, and generator work, the same company handles the circuit, the disconnect, and the equipment installation, and you schedule one job instead of coordinating separate trades.
What size generator do I need to run my well pump?
A well pump draws a surge of power when it starts, so the generator has to cover that surge along with the other circuits running at the same time. We size the generator to the pump and your other essential loads, such as the furnace blower, the refrigerator, and lights.
Will a heat pump keep my Charlottesville home warm in winter?
Yes, paired with backup heat. A heat pump heats efficiently through the milder stretches of a central Virginia winter, and a furnace or electric heat strips cover the coldest nights. Homes with gas heat can add a heat pump in a dual fuel setup.
Which nearby communities does Robertson Electric serve?
We also serve Crozet, Earlysville, and Scottsville, along with the rest of Albemarle and the surrounding counties.
