About Us
Our History in Hampton Roads
In 1947, two electricians at Newport News Shipyard decided to put their skills and knowledge of electrical wiring to work. They started Smith & Keene Electric Service, Inc. in Archie Smith’s garage in Newport News, building their business on the principles of quick service, quality workmanship and superior equipment. Today, their second and third generation family members are still running this business on these same principles, and we’ve become a household name in Hampton Roads because of our commitment to them. Call us today and find out why we’ve been the leader in Hampton Roads with electrical, HVAC and plumbing since 1947.
Trust. Commitment. Excellence.
As soon as you call Smith & Keene, we began building a relationship with you, and the success of that relationship depends upon your satisfaction – before and after the sale. Whether you need a new installation, repairs or replacement, once you’ve made the call, your worries end there. We will finish your job to your complete satisfaction as well as provide you with the added comfort of warranty programs that cover all of our work – equipment, parts and labor.
We work with a large number of respected manufacturers to provide you with an array of high-quality equipment. Our huge warehouses on the peninsula and south side means we keep a large inventory of parts and equipment so that we can get you what you need quickly, no matter where you’re located in Hampton Roads.
Our continuing education program keeps our technicians abreast of the latest in equipment applications, installation and service techniques.
