Electrical Permits & Codes in Anne Arundel County
Most electrical work in Crofton requires a permit and a final inspection. Here is when a permit is typically needed in Anne Arundel County, and who governs electrical licensing in Maryland.
| Project | Permit Typically Required? | What It Means |
|---|---|---|
| Panel upgrade (e.g. 100A to 200A) | Yes | Replacing or upsizing the main electrical panel that distributes power throughout your home. |
| EV charger installation | Yes | Adding a dedicated 240V circuit for a Level 2 home electric-vehicle charger. |
| New circuits & rewiring | Yes | Running new wiring or replacing aging branch circuits, common in older Anne Arundel County homes. |
| Like-for-like fixture or device swap | Usually no | Replacing an existing light fixture, switch, or outlet with the same type in the same location. |
AJ Long Electric pulls every required permit and schedules inspections on your behalf. For official licensing and permit rules, see the Maryland Board of Master Electricians. Check master electrician licensing and Maryland electrical code requirements through the Department of Labor.
About Our Crofton Services
Your Trusted Crofton Electrical Contractor
Crofton sits in western Anne Arundel County, Maryland, midway between Annapolis and Washington along the US-50 corridor. It began in the early 1960s as one of Maryland's first large master-planned communities, built around the Crofton Country Club and golf course, and incorporated as a town in 2022. That history gives Crofton an unusually consistent housing inventory: a core of 1960s-1970s colonials, splits, and ranchers inside the original "Crofton triangle," surrounded by 1980s-2000s subdivisions in Crofton Meadows, Walden, and the newer Crofton Village and Nottingham developments.
The original 1960s-70s Crofton homes are the heart of our panel-upgrade work here. Most still carry their original 100-amp service, sized for an era before central air conditioning, finished basements, home offices, and EV charging all competed for capacity at once. AJ Long Electric upgrades these to 200-amp service so a Crofton home can safely run a heat pump, a Level-2 EV charger, and dedicated appliance circuits without nuisance trips. Homes from the 1970s window also occasionally contain aluminum branch-circuit wiring, which we address with CO/ALR-rated terminations per Consumer Product Safety Commission guidance rather than re-landing it on a new bus as-is.
Unlike the Prince George's County communities a few miles west, Crofton is served by Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE), not Pepco. When a service-upgrade scope requires utility disconnection or reconnection, AJ Long Electric coordinates with BGE. Backup-power options can include listed transfer or interlock equipment and an inlet for an owner-supplied portable generator, or compatible listed battery integration. AJ Long Electric does not sell the portable generator.
Permitting for a Crofton panel upgrade runs through the Anne Arundel County Department of Inspections and Permits, which requires a proper electrical permit pull, rough/final inspection, and final approval for any service change, new circuit, or EV-charger install. We handle the full process — permit application, inspection scheduling, and BGE coordination — so a Crofton homeowner upgrading from a 100-amp panel, adding an EV charger, or preparing for a kitchen renovation gets clear project-specific pricing, coordinated inspections, and documented correction items addressed during project closeout.
