The water heater was off on a Saturday and after trying some things, it still wasn't working. I called Davis and was informed they consider a water heater issue as an emergency and would send over a technician (after hours fee applies). Ryder called when he was about 35 minutes away to notify me he was on the way. He arrived on time, covered his shoes and we talked about the issue and the Davis customer satisfaction process to keep me informed from the beginning. Ryder resolved the issue and got the water heater up and working due to his knowledge and expertise! Later in the afternoon the temperature / pressure valve failed unexpectedly and Ryder returned to investigate further and also determined the expansion tank was waterlogged. So, rather patching an old water heater, a new one would be the best route. Ryder stepped up and obtained the new one and installed it, which meant working late into the night. Ryder knew we needed the hot water so the family could get ready for a funeral visitation service on Sunday and he went above and beyond to ensure that the water heater would be ready. I would call Davis again if I had a need. Thanks to everyone at Davis!

On November 10, 2025 we requested a cost estimate from Davis Heating, Cooling, Plumbing and Electric to have an expansion tank installed on our hot water heater. On the 13th, Ryder W. from the Plumbing Department arrived early, fully prepared to provide a written estimate after consulting with us and looking at the hot water heater and its location.

During our discussions we learned Davis would also wall mount an expansion tank we provided (we preferred a brand not stocked by Davis). In addition to the expansion tank, we also requested an estimate to replace both outside spigots that were leaking. After examining both spigots, Ryder explained our replacement options, the installation methods used (PEX crimping verses soldering), time to complete the work, and loss of water service while the tank installation and spigot repairs were being done. He also suggested installing a gauged pressure-reducing valve (PRV) where the main water supply line enters the house. The gaged PRV provides a positive method to monitor and prevent high pressure from entering the house plumbing which can damage pipes, valves, and equipment. Ryder then prepared a written detailed cost estimate for each requested task and financing options for our review and discussion. We decided to be preventative instead of reactive, and have scheduled to have everything done in the coming weeks.

Ryder is a pleasant and polite young man who is punctual, competent, and customer oriented. He provided a detailed cost estimate for the tank installation that we had initially requested and effortlessly modified it to include the additional tasks we discussed after his arrival. All our questions were addressed and he did a thorough job explaining our options and the installation process. Ryder will be installing all the plumbing equipment himself. We look forward to his next visit.

We highly recommend Davis Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical. Customer satisfaction is their mantra!

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.
Davis Heating,Cooling,Plumbing is the Best service for AC around. They installed a moovair system that Heats down to 4 degrees WITHOUT Turning on those expensive Heat Strips. WOW this has to be one of the most efficient systems ever. The Crew AJ, Hunter & Trent were all Very Professional and Polite. They installed a compete New System in a day. The Best install Job I ever seen. They answered all of our questions and some we didn't think of. Davis Heating is Really just the Best all aroun. Thank you so much. 9-23-2025
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.

What Are Electrical Inspections?

Electrical inspections examine the health of your home’s electrical systems. During these visits, our electricians check every part of your electrical network. This includes your main service panel, outlets, and switches. We look for safety risks, code violations, and efficiency issues that might be hiding in your walls.

Think of an electrical inspection as a physical for your home’s nervous system. Just like you go to the doctor for regular checkups, your electricity needs regular professional attention. Our electricians don’t just look at what’s visible; they test connections, measure voltage, and assess the entire system’s condition using specialized tools and years of field experience.

Why Electrical Inspections Matter for Your Home

  • They detect fire hazards before they ignite.
  • They stop electrical shocks that could harm your family.
  • They identify energy waste that increases your bills.
  • They help extend the life of your appliances and fixtures.
  • They keep your home in compliance with electrical codes.
  • They catch outdated wiring that can’t handle modern demands.
  • They document your home’s electrical condition for insurance or real estate purposes.

Electrical Safety Checklist: What We Inspect

Our thorough inspections cover every aspect of your home’s electrical system. Here’s what you can expect us to check during your electrical safety inspection​ in Roanoke, VA:

  • Main electrical panel for loose connections and proper grounding.
  • Circuit breakers for signs of overheating or frequent tripping.
  • Outlet and switch function throughout your home.
  • GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas.
  • Light fixtures and ceiling fans for secure mounting.
  • Smoke detectors for proper placement and function.
  • Electrical wiring for signs of pest damage or deterioration.
  • Proper wire gauge for each circuit’s load.
  • Adequate lighting in key areas like stairs and entryways.
  • Signs of water damage near electrical components.
  • Potential hazards from amateur electrical work or renovations.
  • Indicators of mold or moisture issues affecting electrical systems.

Home vs. Building Electrical Inspections

Your home electrician looks for different things than a building inspector. A residential electrical inspection focuses on daily safety and functionality. We check how your switches operate, if your outlets deliver the right power, and if your lighting works correctly. We also pay special attention to areas where you and your family spend time, like bedrooms, the kitchen, and your living room.

Building inspectors, on the other hand, verify code compliance. They check if construction meets minimum safety standards and their reports satisfy legal requirements but miss many issues that impact the safety you have at home. So make sure you work with electricians who are experts at home inspections.

The building inspector gives you a pass/fail grade. We give you peace of mind and a plan for improvement and make sure that electricity runs safely through every inch of your walls.

Preparing Your Home for an Electrical Inspection

You can make your electrical inspection more effective with a few simple steps. Clear access to your electrical panel, outlets, and switches. Move furniture, storage boxes, and other items that block these areas. Your electrician needs room to work safely and efficiently.

You can also make a list of any electrical issues you’ve noticed. Maybe lights flicker in the bathtub area, or a switch feels warm to the touch. Perhaps your circuit breaker trips whenever you use certain appliances. These details help an electrician target problem areas during the inspection.

Also, gather any documentation about previous electrical work. Renovation plans, permits, or notes from other electricians provide valuable context. The more information you share, the more thorough your inspection will be. Your observations about your home’s electrical performance help us spot patterns and solve problems more quickly.
