What are your service rates and how do you price electrical work?
Lights by Knight offers fair, transparent pricing for all electrical services. For most residential jobs, they provide a free estimate after assessing the work. Generator installations include a free in-home consultation and written quote. They charge by the project, not inflated hourly rates, and customers consistently report their prices are more reasonable than larger electrical companies in the area. Emergency and after-hours service is available with appropriate pricing for urgent needs.
Are you licensed and insured to do electrical work in Virginia?
Yes. Lights by Knight Electric is a fully licensed electrical contractor in Virginia and carries comprehensive liability insurance. All work is performed to Virginia electrical code standards and inspected when required. As an authorized Generac dealer, they're also factory-trained on proper generator installation and warranty service.
What does the whole home generator installation process look like?
The process starts with a free in-home consultation where they assess your home's electrical panel, determine the right generator size for your needs, and identify the best location for installation. They'll provide a detailed written quote and timeline. Once approved, they handle everything: permitting, gas line coordination (if needed), concrete pad installation, electrical connections, and final testing. They keep Generac generators in stock, so installation can often begin within days rather than weeks. After installation, they walk you through operation and maintenance.
How quickly can you respond to electrical emergencies?
Lights by Knight prioritizes emergency calls and aims for same-day service when possible. For true emergencies like power outages, sparking outlets, or burning smells, call (540) 812-5140 immediately. They serve Madison and Culpeper counties and can often arrive within a few hours for urgent situations. For non-emergency repairs and installations, they typically schedule within a few days.
Do you work on older homes and outdated electrical systems?
Yes. A significant part of their work involves upgrading electrical systems in older Virginia homes — replacing outdated fuse boxes with modern breaker panels, rewiring knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, adding circuits for increased electrical demand, and bringing systems up to code. They're experienced with the challenges of older homes and can assess whether you need a panel upgrade before adding new loads like generators or EV chargers.
What areas do you serve?
Lights by Knight is based in Madison, VA and primarily serves Madison, Culpeper, Orange, and Rappahannock counties. They also work in parts of Fauquier and Greene counties. If you're in central Virginia and not sure if they serve your area, give them a call — they're often willing to travel for larger projects like generator installations.
How do I schedule service or get a quote?
Call or text (540) 812-5140 to speak directly with the team. For generator quotes, they offer free in-home consultations where they assess your needs and provide a detailed written estimate. For other electrical work, they can often provide a ballpark estimate over the phone and schedule a time to come assess the job. They're responsive and easy to work with — most customers report getting a callback within a few hours.
Do you offer any warranties on your work?
Yes. Lights by Knight stands behind all their work with a workmanship warranty. Generator installations come with both their installation warranty and Generac's factory warranty on equipment. If you have any issues after a job is complete, they'll make it right — that commitment is a big reason for their perfect 5-star rating.

“I was very pleased with Knight Electric. Kyle came out within a few days to give me an estimate and within two weeks my Tesla Charger was installed at my home. The electricians had a lot of experience installing Tesla chargers and they were friendly and patiently answered all my questions. It was a good choice.”

“Wow! This company does perfection very well indeed! Kyle came out and replaced an outdoor receptacle so the issue I had was corrected and it was done in a very timely manner an he also answered my many electrical questions with patience. From first contact to finished work everything was done in a friendly, neat and efficient manner. I would never hesitate to call Lights by Knight again should a need arise. Two thumbs up and five stars too!”

“This company is the best. We had a pesky electrical issue that the folks from LbK were able to diagnose and then work with us to problem-solve. Every step of the way all employees, from the person handling calls to the lead electrician and everyone in between, were friendly, communicative, responsive, and courteous--and highly knowledgeable of course. Really, all you could ask for and more. We don't want to have any electrical issues in the future, but if we do, we know who we're going to call.”

“The service was outstanding and very thorough. We called Lights by Knight Electric out for Tesla charger problem, technician troubleshot the system and could not find the reason why it was not charging the auto. At this point, tech determined that it could have been a possible power surge. He suggested that we purchase another charger and that he would run a new power line to the charger. He left at this time and stated,"he would not charge me for the time and count this as an estimate." The same day I was informed by my son to do an auto restart, so I did and the car has been charging ever since. I called the company back to let them know I fixed the problem and I thought this issue was complete. However, the business intern forward a bill for the so called free estimate. This is why I am rating this company with 3 stars, if a person says something they should follow through with what they say. I believe the only reason why they charged me for this service call was that they knew there would be no future service call and wanted some of the cost for the tech time spent to find nothing wrong with system.”
