"Don’t use the plumbing! Called to have Kohler toilet tank plunger repaired. Whole installation is $20. Labor is an hour at $80 so the price is $150, at most. No, they charged $450–BS! These guys are a scam. No prices and I told them to have the repair person call me before arriving. No call, no prices. And, then the repair person has the stones to tell me that everyone overcharges!! Let’s start with not using Beacon!!!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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?

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?

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?

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.
