Searching for an emergency electrician in Northern Virginia at 2 a.m.? AJ Long Electric answers the phone live 24/7 at (703) 997-0026 — a real dispatch line, not an after-hours answering service that takes a message until morning. Electrical emergencies do not wait for business hours, and neither do we. Whether you are facing a complete power loss, sparking outlets, burning smells from your electrical panel, exposed wires after storm damage, water in a panel, or any situation where your family's safety is at immediate risk, a licensed electrician is dispatched toward your home as fast as we safely can. We respond city by city across the region — Fairfax, Annandale, Burke, Springfield, Vienna, McLean, Lorton, Falls Church, Arlington, Alexandria, and Manassas in Northern Virginia, plus Bowie on the Maryland side — dispatching from our actual bases in Fairfax, Annandale, Burke, and Bowie, so the truck rolling out is often starting close to you. Each of those cities has its own dedicated emergency page describing the local hazards we see most, from the original Federal Pacific panels in Fairfax's older homes to the storm-torn service entrances common under Burke's tree canopy. We do not advertise a guaranteed arrival time — that depends on traffic and how many genuine hazards are active during a storm — but we triage by real risk and tell you honestly where you stand when you call. Our service vehicles arrive stocked with panels, breakers, wire, and the diagnostic tools needed to resolve most emergencies in a single visit. We handle power outages isolated to your home, main breakers that will not reset, sparking or arcing devices, burning smells from panels or outlets, storm damage to service entrance equipment, water-damaged systems, and downed wires on your property (we coordinate with Dominion Energy, or Pepco for Bowie). Our founder John Long holds the master electrician license that backs every call, and after 30 years serving this region since 1996, we make the hazard safe first, then quote the permanent repair — never a temporary patch that could fail. Pricing is transparent, with no hidden surcharges beyond our clearly stated emergency service rate.

Every emergency electrician project we complete in Silver Spring receives the same attention to detail and commitment to safety that has earned us over 1,400 five-star reviews. We handle all Montgomery County permits and inspections, ensuring your project meets current electrical codes.
