A panel upgrade in Northern Virginia typically runs between roughly $1,800 and $4,500 depending on whether you are moving to 200-amp service, replacing a fuse box, or correcting a recalled panel. Older Federal Pacific, Zinsco and Pushmatic panels are known fire hazards and should be replaced. We confirm the exact price after an on-site evaluation.

Yes. We install Level 2 home EV charging stations, add the dedicated circuit, and verify your panel can handle the added load. A typical EV charger installation runs from about $600 to $2,000 depending on the distance from your panel and any permit requirements.

Many electrical projects, such as panel upgrades, new circuits, EV chargers and rewiring, require a permit and inspection to stay up to code. As a licensed master electrician, we pull the proper permits and handle the inspection process for you.

We schedule most jobs within the same week and prioritize urgent electrical problems. For emergencies like sparking outlets, a burning smell or lost power, call or text us right away and we will respond as fast as possible.

If you see smoke, sparks or smell burning, stop using the affected circuit, shut it off at the breaker if it is safe, and call 911 first for any fire risk, then call us at (703) 371-4856. For a dead circuit or a breaker that will not reset, leave it off and call us for a prompt visit.

A breaker that trips repeatedly is doing its job by protecting you from an overload, a short circuit or a ground fault. Avoid forcing it back on. It usually means a circuit is overloaded or there is a wiring fault that a licensed electrician should diagnose and repair.

Yes. We handle residential and light commercial electrical work of every size, from a single outlet or ceiling fan to full panel upgrades, generators and new wiring.

Yes. Financing is available so a bigger job like a panel upgrade, generator or whole-home rewire can be spread into simple monthly payments. Checking your options takes minutes and does not affect your credit score.
