"The contractor sent to my house was NOT a licensed electrician. I was told a free quote was 39.99, that turned to 59.99 when I got the estimate and it was waaaaaay over priced and then wanted me to pay a fee to get a warranty for their work! I would have expected a warranty on his work should have been given to me! I needed the job done right away, he was pleasant and courteous but never again with this company."

"Kevin Williams was sent to repair problems created by another electrician hired by Kitchen Saver during an expansive kitchen re-face and cabinet installation. Among other things, he re-located an unsightly transformer that had been previously secured to the inside of the first shelf of a main kitchen cabinet to a lower cabinet out of sight. Voila! Then, he re-routed unsightly wiring previously clamped to the far corner of a glass display cabinet so that it was out of sight. These were difficult puzzles to solve, as the new cabinets had already been installed and there was no longer easy access. Kevin was friendly, professional, and experienced! Great job!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

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?

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, 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?

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.
