"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."

"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!"

"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!"

"There was quite a lot of work to be done. They came out they put a new panel in, they run new wires, they sorted out some minor electrics in the attic, they got some connections and so that they system was therefore complete for the contracting firm to come in and do their part. We chose them because we've used them before. We've done some minor electrical work with them when we had first arrived."

"I have been hiring Cody Malone since we purchased our house in July 2012. They have switched out outlets, installed indoor ceiling fans, installed outdoor ceiling fans, ran electrical to my outdoor water feature and switched out my light fixtures. I plan to hire them again when I add electric to my detached garage. They always do a great job and arrive when they say they will. I have never had a single issue and they have been to my house for no less than six different projects!"

"I interviewed a few electricians before settling on CoreTrade. John was the only one that showed up and took notes on what I wanted done. We’ve done a full kitchen gut and remodel. I had mapped out what electrical work I wanted done. He provided some advice based on his experience, which was appreciated. The quote he provided covered everything I asked for. The guy that didn’t take notes didn’t remember all the work I wanted done. Because we were doing most of the remodel ourselves there were several months in between the start and finish of the electrical work. John and crew were very accommodating. Our house is old and it wasn’t easy work. The price was very reasonable. Every time they showed up when they said they would. John was very helpful overall. There was a point when one of the installers was making claims about the electrical and John came by that day to look. He confirmed that the electrical was done right and explained how the installer needed to work around it."

"I hired Atlas Electrical Solutions to run a cable from the third floor to the second floor. Youssef was highly professional and discussed the details of the project thoroughly before confirming. He was punctual, and incredibly detail oriented throughout the project. He was also very friendly and courteous. I'd highly recommend Atlas Electrical Solutions!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Gainesville, you can safely replace light bulbs, reset tripped breakers, and test GFCI outlets—always turning off power at the breaker first and using a non-contact voltage tester. Avoid working in damp or humid conditions, which are common in Virginia summers. For any issues involving your main panel, new wiring, or exterior circuits, it’s safest to contact a local professional due to permit requirements.

Helpful?

Homeowners in Gainesville are embracing smart home upgrades, such as smart switches, dimmers, and integrated security systems. Installing Level 2 EV charging stations is increasingly common. Outdoor living enhancements, like landscape and deck lighting, are trending, as are dedicated home office circuits and USB outlets. Energy-efficient solutions, including LED recessed lighting and programmable thermostats, reflect the area’s focus on technology and sustainability.

Helpful?

In Gainesville, persistent flickering lights during HVAC use, burning odors from outlets, or frequent breaker trips usually indicate electrical issues. If outlets stop working after a storm or GFCIs won’t reset, call a professional. Problems like a loose fixture or malfunctioning doorbell may be structural. After severe weather, especially in older neighborhoods, a thorough electrical check is recommended for safety.

Helpful?

For electrical projects in Gainesville, keep essentials like a non-contact voltage tester, digital multimeter, wire strippers, and electrical tape. Insulated screwdrivers and a circuit breaker finder are helpful for both older and newer homes. A GFCI outlet tester, surge protectors, and a reliable flashlight are must-haves, especially with Gainesville’s frequent storms and occasional power outages impacting home electrical maintenance.

Helpful?

New homeowners in Gainesville should prioritize an electrical panel inspection to ensure it meets current safety standards. Installing GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas is essential for code compliance. Adding whole-house surge protection helps guard against storm-related power surges. Upgrading outdoor lighting and preparing for smart home features or EV charging are also popular first steps in the area.
