Arlington is one of the most electrically diverse counties in Northern Virginia. Post-WWII Cape Cods and split-levels in Lyon Village, Westover, and Cherrydale sit alongside high-rise condos along the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor. Older single-family homes often have original 100-amp service and ungrounded two-prong outlets. Arlington also has the highest rate of EV ownership in Virginia — driven by a tech-heavy workforce that wants to charge at home rather than rely on public stations.
We're licensed in Virginia and work throughout Arlington County — from the Metro corridors to the quieter single-family neighborhoods. Permits go through Arlington County's permit office, and Dominion Energy is the local utility. EV charger installations are one of our most frequent calls in Arlington, and we know how to handle detached garages, townhouse subpanels, and condo board requirements for building electrical work. We pull all permits and handle every inspection.
