"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!"

"The work went well as it was a very simple swap of light fixtures with no specialized work; however, the charge was $900. An additional $200 was charged to investigate dual switching. A 2 minute look at the switch determined that existing wiring was not in place. The net result is that I paid the electrician $275/hour for labor. I provided all materials. Shame on me for not getting competing estimates. I've since gotten estimates to replace the same light: one was $300 and the other $425. I contacted the service manager, but was not successful in getting a partial refund or any other remedy. Clinton Electric considers their pricing strategy to be fair. I disagree. My advice is to get competing quotes ALWAYS! Otherwise, you can expect to pay excessive labor rates with Clinton Electric."

"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!"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

When hiring electrical pros in Reston, prioritize those with proven experience navigating local permitting and code requirements. Request detailed written estimates and references from nearby homeowners to gauge reliability. Verify insurance coverage and review online feedback for reputation. Avoid contractors who ask for full payment upfront or offer unusually low rates. Choosing a pro familiar with Reston’s HOA rules and climate challenges ensures a smoother project experience.

Helpful?

To keep your Reston home’s electrical system in top shape, test GFCI outlets and surge protectors each spring, and inspect for moisture or pest issues after winter. In summer, check panels for signs of overheating, especially with increased AC use. Prepare for fall storms by testing emergency lighting and smoke detectors, and in winter, watch for ice-related damage or overloaded circuits from holiday decorations. Regular checks help prevent unexpected problems.

Helpful?

The longevity of electrical work in Reston depends on using corrosion-resistant materials that withstand humidity and seasonal changes. Proper grounding and moisture sealing are essential due to frequent storms. Adhering to current electrical codes and completing all required inspections ensures lasting safety. Hiring professionals familiar with Reston’s unique climate and local requirements leads to installations that remain reliable and efficient over time.

Helpful?

For a safer, family-friendly home in Reston, install tamper-resistant outlets in all accessible areas and ensure GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces. Use AFCI breakers to help prevent electrical fires and consider smart switches with lockout features for utility rooms. Secure low-level wiring with protective covers to deter pets, and add motion-sensor lighting outdoors for extra safety in play areas and walkways.

Helpful?

When planning electrical projects in Reston, consider the area’s detailed permitting and inspection process, as most electrical updates require approval. Many neighborhoods feature underground utility lines, so always confirm utility locations before digging. Homeowners’ associations often have specific guidelines for outdoor lighting, solar panels, and visible equipment. Given Reston’s humid climate, prioritize weatherproofing and GFCI protection, and consult your HOA for any architectural review steps before starting work.
