Your electrical service is the backbone of your entire home's power system, encompassing everything from the utility transformer connection through the meter base, service entrance cables, and main panel. When your home's electrical demands exceed the capacity of your existing service, you need a complete service upgrade -- not just a panel swap. AJ Long Electric performs comprehensive electrical service upgrades throughout Northern Virginia, coordinating directly with Dominion Energy for meter disconnects, reconnects, and service capacity increases. Many Northern Virginia homes built in the 1960s through 1980s still operate on 100-amp or even 60-amp service that cannot safely support modern electrical demands including EV chargers, heat pumps, electric cooking, home offices, and multiple high-draw appliances. Our licensed electricians upgrade service entrance cables, meter bases, weatherheads, grounding electrode systems, and main panels as a complete, integrated project. We handle all coordination with Dominion Energy, obtain permits from Fairfax County, Loudoun County, Prince William County, Arlington, or your specific jurisdiction, and ensure the installation meets current NEC standards. A typical service upgrade from 100A to 200A or from 200A to 400A involves replacing the service entrance conductors, upgrading the meter base, installing a new main panel, and verifying the grounding electrode system meets NEC 250 requirements.

Partial power loss — some outlets dead, or 240V loads weak — usually means a broken neutral, a hidden breaker trip, or a single-leg service failure. A broken neutral in particular is dangerous: it lets line voltage swing far above or below 120V, damaging every electronic device in the affected part of the home within seconds.
Learn MoreStorm-related power loss in Northern Virginia is usually one of three things: a Dominion Energy grid event (out of your control, fixed by the utility); damage to your service entrance (the wires + mast + meter base, which we coordinate with Dominion to repair); or surge damage to your panel and downstream devices (which we repair without utility involvement). The first step is to check the Dominion outage map; the second is to call us if there's visible damage at your home.
