Powering Through the Decades

Our Story

For over half a century, Benfield Electric Co. of Virginia has been an epitome of dedication and commitment in the field of electrical services. In 1968, Charles Benfield embarked on a journey, working from his garage with a solitary truck. His guiding principle? “Doing good work for a fair price.” This simple yet profound philosophy led to the inception of Benfield Electric Co. of Virginia in 1979. Today, we take pride in upholding this core belief and serving the residents and businesses of Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC with unmatched electrical expertise.

From residential to commercial ventures, from standby generators to state-of-the-art solar installations, we’ve got it all covered. Our repertoire includes residential and commercial service electrical tasks, new constructions, and of course, the ever-evolving realm of solar. With every project, our aim remains consistent – meticulous planning, impeccable execution, and undivided attention to detail.
