Electrical Panel Upgrade & Replacement Service — Northern Virginia, Maryland & DC

The exact scope depends on the existing service and the load calculation. It may include the panel enclosure, breakers, grounding and bonding corrections, service conductors or meter equipment, labeling, utility coordination, and required inspection work.

We use the home's existing and planned loads, equipment ratings, service configuration, and the applicable calculation method. A larger rating is not automatically the correct answer for every property.

Brand and age alone do not describe the complete condition. A licensed electrician should identify the exact equipment and evaluate damage, breaker compatibility, service capacity, grounding, and the homeowner's planned loads before recommending a scope.

That depends on the service configuration and work boundary. When utility disconnect, meter, or service-entrance coordination is needed, it is identified and scheduled as part of the project plan.

Permit and inspection requirements depend on the address and defined scope. AJ Long Electric confirms the authority and coordination path before work begins.

Only the insurer can determine eligibility, coverage, or premium effects. We can provide factual project documentation for the homeowner to share with the carrier.

Repeated breaker trips, heat, odor, buzzing, corrosion, a missing or inaccurate directory, no practical space for a planned circuit, or equipment a qualified inspection has flagged as damaged or incompatible. Brand and age alone do not decide the scope — a licensed electrician should identify the equipment and document the conditions first.

The authority serving the property checks the installed equipment, grounding and bonding, working clearances, labeling, and any service or meter work in the permit scope. AJ Long Electric confirms the inspection path before work begins and is present for the inspection when the jurisdiction requires it.

That depends on busbar rating, main-breaker size, available backfeed space, grounding, and the calculated load. AJ Long Electric installs residential solar and will size the panel so the array, EV charger, and battery fit the same design. Solar-ready work is the panel-prep scope inside that job.
