See What Our Customers Are Saying!
My experience with Davis Heating,Cooling, Plumbing and Electric was as good as it gets. We had no water, major leak in our yard so we just googled Davis mainly because they advertised 24 hour service. Great decision that was. James was awesome, really knew exactly what to do and really polite. Really good operator as well. Will definitely use Davis in the future.
Joshua was an incredible technician. Timely and incredibly knowledgeable. He was thorough, patient and answered all our questions regarding how our new thermostat works, the overall heating system and even checked an additional item associated with the unit under our house. He gave us a mini heat/cooling lesson that really helped us to understand how the system works, what had happened in our case and how to prepare for the coming cold months when we are here and traveling. Highly recommend Davis Heating/Cooling. And ask for Joshua if you can request a technician!!
James W was friendly and courteous. His assistant was very good. Everything is working great. I look at my new water lines and feel relaxed because there should be no more problems when the water is shutdown by the city. Every faucet/fixture has it's own cut off valve.

Matthew took the time to pinpoint the problem and to find a solution. Very professional technician. Follow up with Dakota to evaluate our options for our 30+ year old system was scheduled quickly and was very professional. A walk through was performed that detailed all the installation processes. Material availability was noted at the time as being a potential issue. Another project required a change to the work order and required an additional site vist. All this was handled by Dakota as well as creative solutions to material availability. Installation was well organized and the team was able to quickly pivot on a small filter issue. The four installation technicians, Cameron, Conner, Daniel, and Hunter were all courteous, professional, and respectful. The support team at Davis were quick to deliver supplies as modifications required. Everyone one on the install team worked together to get the job done. We could not be happier with the work and the professionals that are the Davis team.
I was very pleased with my first plumbing service with Davis Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, and Electric. James did a thorough investigation of my issue, explained the problems and my options, was able to answer all my questions, and get the problem fixed on the same day. He even tolerated my thieving dog being curious about the field of plumbing… I look forward to working with him on future plumbing needs.
TC and Josh were very professional and did a great job! Highly recommend Davis Heating, Cooling, Plumbing, and Electric. Gives me such piece of mind knowing that my home is safe and running efficiently. Thank you!

Travis J. also did a fantastic job! Y'all have an amazing team working for you!
Very pleased with the people. From the office to the technician that came out, a most pleasant experience. Everyone goes through every detail and nothing is overlooked. I’m a long time customer and these professionals earned my trust years ago. They go well beyond what is expected and know their business. In these times when most strive for “Good Enough “ The Davis team goes for “Excellence”. I highly recommend Davis and will continue to be a loyal customer.
Hello from NC - long and simple...from the young ladies running the day to day operations to Eric the AC technician, a new customer from out of state has been born. My AC unit went down and I knew from the prior owner "Davis Heating" was the installation team he used, so I called them for help. It all moved so smoothly I was a little shocked. I was informed multiple times as to Eric's ETA - that system works like a champ! Then Eric got himself into the condo to quickly assess the issue. 3 minutes of his time and a quick phone call and I was back in business. That my friends is an A+++ for customer service, honesty, integrity and just good old fashion business! Thanks for making me feel like a "VIP" - K Spencer
Great experience overall. From Matthew coming out to inspect my system and giving me options, to Dakota coming out a couple days later to give me price quotes/options, to the guys coming over to install a new system. AJ, Hunter and Trent did a fantastic job, explaining things to me and answering all of my questions. Did a great cleanup job too. I will definitely call Davis Heating and Cooling anytime I need help in the future. Thank you for the wonderful service!!

Professional Circuit Breaker Installation in Roanoke & Southside VA

When your circuit breaker starts showing signs of age or can’t handle your home’s electrical needs, our team can provide you with an expert circuit breaker replacement in Roanoke, VA. Our electricians remove your old, worn circuit breakers and install new ones that match your home’s specific requirements.

You might need new circuit breakers if your current ones frequently trip, feel hot to the touch, or make buzzing sounds. Older homes often have outdated electrical panels that can’t support modern power demands. If you’ve added major appliances, a home office setup, or plan to install an electric vehicle charging station, your current breakers might not be up to the task.

Our electricians take a detailed approach to circuit breaker installation in Roanoke, VA. We carefully disconnect your power supply, remove the old breaker, check for any wire damage, install the new breaker, and test the system thoroughly before restoring power. We follow strict safety protocols to protect your home and family throughout the process.

Why Circuit Breakers Matter for Your Home’s Safety

Circuit breakers are your home’s electrical safety guards. They monitor the flow of electricity through your electrical wiring and automatically cut power when they detect overloads or short circuits. Without this protection, excessive current could heat your wires to dangerous temperatures, potentially causing fires.

Inside each breaker, a metal strip heats up as current passes through. If too much current flows, this strip bends and triggers the switch to cut power. This simple mechanical process prevents countless electrical fires and keeps your family safe from electrical hazards.

A failing circuit breaker puts your entire home at risk. Without this critical safety feature working properly, overloaded circuits can cause wire insulation to melt, creating fire hazards inside your walls where you can’t see them.

Warning Signs Your Circuit Breaker Needs Attention

Older circuit breakers eventually wear out from years of use, especially in homes with high power demands. The internal components gradually degrade until they can no longer perform their safety functions properly. If your home is over 25 years old and still has the original electrical panel, you’re likely due for an inspection.

Modern construction often includes built-in surge protectors and more advanced electrical safety features that older homes lack. Upgrading your circuit breakers gives you access to these improved safety technologies while potentially improving your home’s accessibility to modern power needs.

Watch for these warning signs that indicate you may need circuit breaker service:

  • Frequent tripping: If your breakers trip regularly, especially when using specific appliances, they might be overloaded or failing.
  • Burning smells: Any burning odor near your electrical panel requires immediate attention from an electrician.
  • Physical damage: Discoloration, scorch marks, or melting on the breaker itself points to dangerous overheating.
  • Buzzing or crackling sounds: Electrical components should operate silently — unusual noises suggest arcing electricity.
  • Warm or hot breakers: While slight warmth is normal during heavy use, hot breakers indicate potential failure.
  • Flickering lights: Inconsistent power to light fixtures often traces back to circuit breaker issues.
  • Age: Circuit breakers older than 20-30 years have higher failure rates and lack modern safety features.

You never want to miss the signs! Call us ASAP if you recognize any of them in your home.

What’s the Difference Between Circuit Breakers and Electrical Panels

Many homeowners use these terms interchangeably, but they’re actually different parts of your electrical system. The electrical panel is the main metal box — sometimes called a breaker box or fuse box — that houses all your circuit breakers. This is where the power from the utility transformer enters your home before being distributed to various circuits.

Circuit breakers are the individual switches inside the panel that control electricity flow to specific areas of your home. Each breaker protects a particular circuit by monitoring current levels and tripping when overloads occur. When you lose power to just your kitchen or just your bedroom, it’s typically because a single circuit breaker has tripped.

Older homes might still have fuse boxes instead of circuit breaker panels. While fuses serve the same basic safety function, they must be replaced after each use, unlike breakers that can be reset. Modern construction exclusively uses circuit breakers because they provide better protection and greater convenience.

Some electrical issues require replacing individual circuit breakers, while others call for upgrading the entire panel. Our electricians can determine exactly what your situation needs and provide the right solution for your Virginia home.
