"Nasr Electric did a fantastic job with a complicated installation. We had accidentally purchased an incompatible switch, but having a wall switch is really important to our family member with motor disabilities. He went above and beyond to make it work! We have used Nasr Electric in the past as well, and have always been very pleased. They do great work!"

"I hired ESV, Inc. to install a new range hood, and a install new light and switch in the master bedroom closet. In addition they fixed two light boxes in our town home's basement that were not properly connected with electrical boxes. From the moment sent my inquiry to when they left, the communicated effectively the estimate and scheduling of the visit, were on time for the work, and their two electricians that came to do the work provided exemplary service from start to finish. I'd hire them again in a second."

"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!"

"We contacted Fox Electric about repairing/replacing a driveway lamp post that was in bad shape. We reached out and had an appointment booked immediately and they came out for a consult the next day. The service was fast, friendly and professional and our driveway lamp post was fully replaced within just a couple of days. It works great and the price was very reasonable for the job. We highly recommend this company and their work."

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

After electrical work in Fairfax, schedule routine inspections of your electrical panel and test GFCI outlets, especially before seasonal changes. The Fairfax County Department of Code Compliance recommends checking outdoor wiring for weather damage and ensuring surge protectors are in place. Regularly review your system for signs of wear, and promptly address any tripped breakers or flickering lights to maintain safety and code compliance.

Helpful?

For electrical projects in Fairfax, choose NM-B cable for indoor wiring and PVC conduit for areas exposed to moisture, as recommended by the Fairfax County code. Use weatherproof junction boxes for outdoor installations and tamper-resistant outlets for added safety. Always select materials that are UL-listed and approved for use in VA, and consult the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation for specific local requirements.

Helpful?

DIY electrical work in Fairfax may save on labor costs, but risks include failing to meet electrical permit requirements, potential safety hazards, and unsuccessful inspections. Hiring a licensed professional ensures your project complies with Fairfax County code, passes required inspections, and is completed efficiently. For complex jobs or panel upgrades, working with a qualified electrician is strongly advised to protect your home and meet local regulations.

Helpful?

In Fairfax, common mistakes include skipping required electrical permits, using the wrong wire gauge, and failing to schedule inspections as required by the Fairfax County Department of Code Compliance. Overloading circuits and improper grounding are also frequent issues. To avoid fines and safety hazards, always follow local code, use approved materials, and consult a licensed electrician for guidance on your project.

Helpful?

In Fairfax, most electrical work—such as panel upgrades, new wiring, or installing hardwired appliances—requires a residential electrical permit, as outlined by the Fairfax County Department of Code Compliance. Minor repairs like replacing outlets may be exempt, but always verify with local authorities. Permit applications are processed online, and inspections by a certified electrical inspector are mandatory to ensure compliance with the National Electrical Code and Fairfax County code.
