"Lemus Electrical was very responsive when we had a three-day outage. A technician came the same day I called, and came back one day later with 3 others to install a new electrical panel - which had been ruined by a transformer blowout. They were very professional, did very good work, and were cheerful about it all. I will definitely call them again, the next time we need electrical work!"

The valuable advantages we can offer you are great service, high quality and experienced workers at a competitive price.

"Do not use this company. They will rip you off. The contract was for eight 300W LED 40 ft pole lights, but I caught them redhanded installing 240W. Who does that? Then, they broke my lock and broke into my sprinkler room which I saw on my video which they admitted. Then, Kolb sued me for not paying the bill which I disputed due to lost tools as result of the break-in. Who does that breaking into a customer's sprinkler room and not informing that they did. I had to catch them on my video. Not only that it took over one year to the work proposed work. TOTAL FRAUD. I will be going to court...."

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?

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?

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.
