About Robertson Electric
Robertson Electric was founded in 1968, and the name records where the company started: electrical work for the Charlottesville area. Over more than five decades, the trades grew to match what the region’s homes actually need, and today the same company handles heating and cooling, plumbing, electrical, and home generators across Albemarle, Fluvanna, Louisa, Greene, Orange, and the surrounding counties. Robertson is locally operated, and the technicians answering calls work in the same communities they live in.
Who we are
A company serving one region since 1968 accumulates something no training course provides: familiarity with the housing itself. Our technicians have worked in the area’s pre-war homes with boilers and original wiring, the subdivisions of every decade since, and the rural properties on wells and long power lines. That history shows up in diagnosis, because a technician who has seen a failure pattern a hundred times finds it faster the hundred and first.
Our founder, Bill Robertson’s vision of delivering exceptional service at a reasonable rate has guided us for over 50 years. As one of the largest full-service companies in the area, we take pride in serving long-standing customers, ensuring their homes are comfortable year-round.
Four trades under one roof only helps if the right specialist shows up, so we match technicians to jobs by their training and schedule the visit around you. On site, our technicians photograph the equipment and the work performed. The photos give you a record of what was diagnosed, what was corrected, and the condition things were left in, which is a more durable form of trust than a verbal summary at the door.
Installation work is backed by the 10-Year Worry-Free Warranty, the quality anchor behind our replacement and installation projects. When you request a quote, ask for the written terms and we will walk through what the warranty covers on your specific job before you commit.
You can reach us by phone, online scheduling, or the website chat, which is staffed 24/7. Households that prefer prevention to repair bills can join the Energy Savings Agreement through our maintenance plans, which keeps seasonal tune-ups on the calendar and carries priority scheduling. The full scope of what we do lives on our heating, cooling, plumbing, electrical, and home generator pages.

FAQs
When was Robertson Electric founded?
In 1968, in the Charlottesville area. The company has operated in the same region continuously since, which is why the name is a familiar one on service trucks here.
Why does an electrical company do plumbing and HVAC?
Because the region’s homes needed one accountable company more than they needed three business cards. The trades were added deliberately over the decades, with licensed specialists in each, and the electrical roots remain a strength on every job that touches wiring, which most modern equipment does.
Is Robertson Electric a local company?
Yes. Robertson is locally operated from Charlottesville, and our service area is the region around it, not a territory managed from somewhere else.
Why do Robertson technicians photograph their work?
The photos document the diagnosis and the completed work, giving you evidence rather than assurances. They also build a service history for your equipment that makes every future visit better informed.
How does Robertson decide which technician comes to my house?
By matching the job to the training. A boiler call gets a boiler technician, a panel upgrade gets a licensed electrician, and a well pump failure gets a plumber who works on wells routinely. The scheduling works around your availability.
