About Our Wheaton Services
Your Trusted Wheaton Electrical Contractor
Wheaton is a Census-designated place in central Montgomery County, anchored by the Wheaton Metro station (the deepest in the WMATA system) and the Westfield Wheaton shopping center. The community grew rapidly after the WWII through the 1960s as a postwar suburb of Washington, and the bulk of its housing stock dates from that period: small Cape Cods, single-story ranchers, and split-levels packed onto modestly-sized lots throughout neighborhoods like Wheaton Forest, Wheaton Woods, Aspen Hill, and Kensington View.
Most of our Wheaton residential work is on this mid-century housing. The 1950s and 1960s electrical standard — 60- to 100-amp service, ungrounded two-wire branch circuits, fused service entrances on the oldest homes, and limited dedicated circuits — is no longer adequate for modern living. Panel upgrades from 100 amps to 200 amps are our most-requested service in Wheaton, often paired with kitchen-rewire work for renovation projects, dedicated circuits for additions, and EV charger installations.
Wheaton's housing also contains a significant inventory of aluminum branch-circuit wiring from the 1965-75 window (a common nationwide issue, particularly heavy in fast-built postwar suburbs). Proper remediation per Consumer Product Safety Commission guidance — CO/ALR-rated devices, anti-oxidant compound, and pigtailing or full replacement where appropriate — is something we handle on a regular basis.
The downtown Wheaton commercial district along Georgia Avenue and University Boulevard is one of the most diverse commercial corridors in the DMV, with strong Latin American, Salvadoran, and Korean restaurant and retail presence. We handle tenant electrical fit-outs, restaurant kitchen circuits, retail lighting, and sign electrical for these small-business properties. The downtown is also seeing new mixed-use redevelopment around the Wheaton Metro station — multifamily and ground-floor retail buildings that require commercial-scale electrical work.
Wheaton homeowners and business owners choose AJ Long Electric for clear pricing, careful work in often-tight mid-century homes, and our family-owned local presence backed by a workmanship warranty.
