Powering the Communities We Call Home

Progress and Heritage Electric is based in Lynchburg, and the places we work are the places we live. From the Hill City to the Roanoke Valley and down through Southside, our electricians are in homes, shops, farms, churches, schools and plants every week. This is where we work, and what being a local electrician means to us.

Where We Work

Our field service area covers Central Virginia, the Roanoke Valley and Southside:

• Cities: Lynchburg, Roanoke, Salem, Danville and Martinsville

Our electrical prefabrication shop serves contractors across Virginia.

Why Local Matters for Electrical Work

We know the local building departments. Every city and county here enforces the same statewide code but has its own permit process and inspectors. Knowing them keeps jobs moving.

We know the housing stock. Brick homes from the early 1900s in Lynchburg’s historic districts, mid-century ranches in Roanoke County, lake houses at Smith Mountain Lake, farms in Pittsylvania and Franklin counties. Each brings its own wiring, service and access challenges. See wiring in older Virginia homes.

We know the weather. Summer thunderstorms, hurricane remnants and the occasional ice storm take down lines across the region, so backup power and surge protection matter here. See storm season preparation.

We know the utilities. Appalachian Power, Dominion Energy and the region’s electric cooperatives each have their own requirements for service work, and we coordinate with them on upgrades and reconnects.

What We Believe About the Work

The “heritage” in our name is about doing the work the way good tradespeople always have: to code, cleanly, and honestly. In practice that means:

• Showing up when we say we will, and saying so when plans change
• Explaining what we found and what it will cost before we do the work
• Treating your home or business with respect, and cleaning up when we’re done
• Pulling permits and passing inspections, every time the work requires it
• Licensed, insured, background-checked electricians in your home

Growing With the Region

Our region is changing: new homes, new businesses, EV charging, solar and battery storage, and more people working from home. We’re proud to help families and businesses here keep up with what they need from their electrical systems, safely.
