"I actually did not use their service because Dave offered to walk me through the process instead of me paying to have someone come out. He told me how to correctly turn on and off each breaker to each area in the panel box and just that clarification did the trick (I obviously was not doing it correctly before). I am grateful to him for his time and knowledge, and will certainly reach out to his company for future electrical services."

Replacing a light on a pole at a medical office building.
This generator was installed on the side of a house.  The window had to be replaced to allow for the generator to be placed in this location.  The window was made to not open per code.
We installed this 14kW generator to power the whole house.  We used load shed modules to be able to save the customer money by using a smaller generator than would have been needed if we didn't use the load shed modules.

"I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They were hired to replace the main electrical panel/breakers at my elderly mother's home. Roni, the electrician, was a wonderful communicator, and was very knowledgeable and thorough in completing the job and in putting her at ease. The price was very reasonable. I will be using Nasr Electric in my own home, as well as recommending them to all my friends and family in the DMV area."

"not just professional efficient! Unbelievably fair priced literally less than half of what a major competitor on this site quoted using my own parts and my own wire! Just because there are any energy list doesn’t mean some people won’t try and rip you off and fools will pay it. Mr. NAGY is a professional and very ethical. I’d recommend hiring him again and again!"

"Bowden installed an electrical outlet to operate an electric shad in the foyer, recessed light above the garage entryway and a ceiling fan. Plus the electrician was on time, very courteous and respectful, used drop clothes and shoe covers to minimize dirt, swept and vacuumed area, and reasonably priced. They receive an AAA plus. Will definitely will be using Bowden for other electrical projects. If looking for an awesome electrical company - contact Bowden"

"Kevin Williams was sent to repair problems created by another electrician hired by Kitchen Saver during an expansive kitchen re-face and cabinet installation. Among other things, he re-located an unsightly transformer that had been previously secured to the inside of the first shelf of a main kitchen cabinet to a lower cabinet out of sight. Voila! Then, he re-routed unsightly wiring previously clamped to the far corner of a glass display cabinet so that it was out of sight. These were difficult puzzles to solve, as the new cabinets had already been installed and there was no longer easy access. Kevin was friendly, professional, and experienced! Great job!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

After electrical work in Alexandria, ongoing maintenance is essential for safety and code compliance. Test GFCI outlets every three months, inspect panels for corrosion, and replace smoke detector batteries annually. The City of Alexandria Code Administration recommends checking outdoor wiring seasonally and ensuring circuits aren't overloaded. Staying proactive with these tasks helps maintain compliance with local electrical code and extends the lifespan of your system.

Helpful?

For electrical projects in Alexandria, select materials that comply with the latest Virginia electrical code. Use THHN/THWN wires for durability and moisture resistance, and install GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms as required by local code. For historic homes, flexible conduit may be necessary to accommodate older structures. Sourcing materials from suppliers familiar with Alexandria's permit requirements ensures your project meets inspection standards.

Helpful?

In Alexandria, common mistakes include skipping required permits, using incorrect wire gauge, and failing to meet grounding standards. These errors can result in failed inspections, fire hazards, or insurance issues. According to the City of Alexandria Code Administration, always verify your project meets the latest electrical code, double-check all connections, and secure proper permits before starting any electrical work to ensure safety and compliance.

Helpful?

In Alexandria, most electrical projects—including new installations, major upgrades, and renovations—require permits issued by the City of Alexandria Code Administration. Permit applications are processed through the APEX system, and fees vary based on project type and value. Projects in historic districts must also receive approval from the Board of Architectural Review. Always consult the City of Alexandria and the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation for current electrical code requirements.

Helpful?

In Alexandria, minor electrical repairs might be handled DIY, but most projects require a licensed electrician to comply with the City of Alexandria's permitting and inspection process. DIY work risks code violations, failed inspections, and potential safety hazards. Hiring a local professional ensures compliance with the Virginia electrical code, protects your insurance coverage, and helps avoid costly mistakes—especially for complex or historic property projects.
