About Our Hyattsville Services
Your Trusted Hyattsville Electrical Contractor
Hyattsville is one of the oldest streetcar suburbs in the DMV, founded in 1886 along the B&O Railroad and Washington-Baltimore turnpike. The city's electrical infrastructure mirrors that long history: a mix of late-Victorian and Edwardian homes in the original downtown grid, 1920s-30s bungalows around University Park and Riverdale, midcentury brick capes and ramblers built during the postwar boom, and modern infill townhouse developments along Route 1 in the Arts District.
The city is unusual for the DMV in how much pre-1940 housing it retains. Many of these homes still contain original knob-and-tube wiring (often partially abandoned in walls during 1960s service upgrades), early ungrounded two-wire circuits, and 60-amp fuse panels. AJ Long Electric has rewired dozens of homes in the West Hyattsville, University Hills, and Hyattsville Hills neighborhoods, replacing knob-and-tube and bringing service up to modern 200-amp panels capable of supporting central HVAC, modern kitchens, and EV charging.
The Hyattsville Arts District redevelopment along Route 1 (Baltimore Avenue) has added a different layer of demand: mixed-use buildings, restaurant tenant build-outs, gallery lighting installations, and outdoor lighting for the streetscape. We work with both residential homeowners and Arts District commercial property managers on code-compliant tenant electrical, LED retrofits, and rooftop service for HVAC condensers.
Proximity to the University of Maryland in adjacent College Park drives a significant rental-property segment: triple-deckers, group rentals, and basement-apartment conversions all require careful electrical work, with smoke detector interconnection, AFCI/GFCI protection per current code, and proper sub-panel installations for ADUs. We are familiar with both PG County's permitting workflow and the additional documentation City of Hyattsville requires for properties in the historic preservation zones.
Hyattsville homeowners working with us get a contractor who understands the unique mix of historic-property preservation, modern code compliance, and the energy and load demands of contemporary urban living. Whether you're rewiring a 1908 Victorian or wiring a 2020 Arts District townhome, AJ Long Electric is the family-owned electrical contractor that brings the same precision and respect for property to every job.
