"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."

Customers say: Quick response

"Several years ago I hired ESV to install new panel lighting in my crawlspace, prior to it being encapsulated; the electrician worked in a dirt surround environment, installed (4) 4-foot lights, and ran a separate line to the panel box. I was impressed with the work ethic and professionalism of ESV's electrician. Years later I requested a line-item quote (by room) for re-wiring my entire house. Dan provided a succinct quote and coordinated the work permit; he and his crew re-wired each room individually (which fit both our schedules per room). This quote also included a new, updated panel, with Dan working with the electric company to shut down power to the house for panel replacement. I definitely trust Dan and ESV with all my electrically needs."

"It was very easy to work with Joe to finalize a quote and get the job scheduled. Once onsite, Carlos and his colleague knew exactly what to do and how to run the new electric circuit across the house from the electrical panel to the garage. The installed the EV charger we had purchased separately exactly how we wanted it. Everything worked perfectly. They even went the extra mile to come back and patch the garage drywall where they had made a few holes to run the cable even though it was not included in the job initially. Overall very happy with both the price we paid and the quality of the work. Will hire again for any electrical work we'll need."

"I hired Atlas Electrical Solutions to run a cable from the third floor to the second floor. Youssef was highly professional and discussed the details of the project thoroughly before confirming. He was punctual, and incredibly detail oriented throughout the project. He was also very friendly and courteous. I'd highly recommend Atlas Electrical Solutions!"

"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"

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

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?

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, 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.

Helpful?

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.
