"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."

"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."

"A Plus Electric installation of my EcoFlow Smart Home Panel (SHP) was outstanding! They took great interest in learning about the new product and then completing the install as the manufacturer recommended. In addition, the inspection was seamless and encountered zero issues/challenges. Go with A+ Electric for great service!"

"On June 10, I had a company to install security equipment in my home. In doing so, the installer drilled through a wire and I did not have electricity in several outlets due to the damage. Since the company did not have an electrician on staff and was unable to refer me to anyone, I turned to Angie’s List for help in finding someone to correct the problem. I called Hands on Electric on June 11 and spoke to the owner, Kevin Williams. I explained my problem to Mr. Williams and he gave me a window of time in which he would be able to come out. Not only was he able to come out the same day that I called, but Mr. Williams was able to come much earlier than expected. Once he arrived he was able to trouble shoot and diagnose the problem. Mr. Williams was very, very friendly, professional and honest. He was able to answer my husband’s questions and explained what he was doing as he made the repairs. My husband was very happy about that and we were both impressed by the years of experience Mr. Williams had for his age. I have been looking for an electrician for a while now and have decided that I will be using Hands on Electric for all of my future projects. I was very pleased with the work that was done by Mr. Williams and will recommend him to my friends and family when they need of electrical services."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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, 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.

Helpful?

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?

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.
