Professional electricians in Arlington, VA — 37+ years experience, NEC compliant, veteran-owned and operated.
Comprehensive electrical services for homes and businesses — licensed, insured, and backed by our workmanship guarantee.
Homes built before 1980 often have degraded insulation, undersized circuits, or knob-and-tube wiring that insurance companies flag as unacceptable. Our licensed electricians bring your wiring up to current NEC standards.
Wireless cameras lose signal and batteries die at the worst time. Hardwired security camera systems installed by our licensed team provide continuous, tamper-resistant surveillance you can rely on day and night.
Heavy chandeliers, track lighting, and pendant fixtures require properly rated electrical boxes and secure mounting. Our electricians ensure every installation is safe, level, and wired correctly.
Ignoring electrical problems lets them get worse. Loose connections, arcing wires, and overloaded circuits cause thousands of house fires each year. Our licensed team fixes issues safely, the first time.
We test the suspect breaker with calibrated equipment, check for loose bus connections and signs of arcing, replace the faulty breaker with a matching UL-listed unit, and load-test the circuit.
We assess your panel capacity, install a dedicated 240V circuit, mount the charging unit in your garage or driveway, and handle all permits and inspections from start to finish.
Electrical installations done without permits or by unlicensed workers put your family at risk and can void your insurance. Our licensed electricians deliver code-compliant, inspected work on every job.
Highlight your home exterior, illuminate walkways, and boost curb appeal with professionally designed landscape lighting. A well-lit property also deters intruders and prevents trips and falls.
We use thermal imaging, multimeters, and circuit analyzers to trace faults through your wiring, identify the exact failure point, and recommend the most cost-effective repair.
We install hardwired CO detectors at code-required locations near bedrooms and fuel-burning appliances, interconnect them with your smoke alarm system, and verify operation with professional testing equipment.
Enjoy your pool or hot tub with confidence knowing the electrical system was installed safely by a licensed professional. Proper wiring prevents shock hazards and protects your family every time you swim.
We handle the full installation process, from securing the fan-rated electrical box and running new wiring to balancing the blades and programming remote controls.
Battery-only smoke detectors fail when batteries die. Our electricians install hardwired units with sealed backup batteries per current code, ensuring your family is protected around the clock.
Minimize downtime and keep your business running with commercial electrical services designed for offices, retail spaces, warehouses, and restaurants. Reliable power protects your revenue and your reputation.
Aging panels with Federal Pacific, Zinsco, or fuse-based systems are documented fire hazards. Our licensed electricians replace them with UL-listed equipment that meets current NEC safety standards.
Add outlets exactly where you need them and eliminate extension cord clutter. New outlets improve convenience, reduce fire hazards, and increase your home value.
Recessed lighting installed too close to insulation or with incorrect housings is a fire risk. Our electricians use only IC-rated, airtight fixtures and verify every connection for safe operation.
An electrical inspection reveals hidden hazards, code violations, and aging components before they cause problems. Protect your investment whether you are buying, selling, or simply maintaining your home.

A properly installed standby generator protects your family, your food supply, and your medical equipment. We pull all permits and ensure code-compliant connections every time.
Power surges destroy electronics, damage appliance control boards, and can even start fires. Our electricians install UL-listed surge protectors with proper grounding to defend your entire electrical system.
We install smart switches, dimmers, and outlets that work with your existing Wi-Fi network, set up automation routines, and ensure every device has the neutral wire and load capacity it requires.
Aluminum wiring installed in homes from the 1960s and 1970s is a documented fire hazard. Replacing it with modern copper wiring dramatically reduces your risk and may lower your insurance premiums.
