The Story Behind Progress and Heritage Electric

Every company has a story, and ours is in our name. Heritage is the time-tested craftsmanship of the electrical trade: doing the job right, to code, and standing behind it. Progress is the technology moving our customers forward: EV charging, backup power, smart homes, controls and prefabrication. Progress and Heritage Electric is a Lynchburg electrical contractor built to bring both to every job.

Who We Are

Progress and Heritage Electric is a licensed, insured and bonded Virginia electrical contractor based in Lynchburg. We serve homeowners, businesses and industrial facilities across Central Virginia, the Roanoke Valley and Southside, and our prefabrication shop builds electrical assemblies for contractors across Virginia.

We were founded on faith, family and service. We see our work as stewardship: of our customers’ homes and businesses, of the trade, and of the communities we live in. Honesty, accountability and integrity guide how we work.

What Sets Us Apart

Licensed, insured and background-checked

Electrical work isn’t the place to cut corners. Our work is done by licensed electricians under a Virginia licensed contractor, and the technicians who come to your home are background-checked. We pull permits and pass inspections whenever the work calls for them.

Clear answers before the work starts

We explain what we found, what we recommend, what it costs and why, in writing, so you can decide without pressure. If something changes once we’re into the work, we tell you before we go further.

Work built to last

Anyone can make something work for today. We build systems that stay safe for years: neat, labeled, code-compliant work that the next electrician can follow.

Respect for your home and business

We show up when we say we will, communicate along the way, protect your floors and clean up when we’re done. For businesses, we schedule around your operation.

One team for every need

From a single outlet to a commercial service upgrade, from a portable generator hookup to structured cabling, you have one partner who knows your property. See everything we do.

Proud of the Partners We Keep

We’re a Generac Aligned Contractor for home and commercial backup power, and we work alongside builders, restoration firms, general contractors and facility teams across the region.
