Smart Electrical Panels in Alexandria, VA

A smart panel adds per-circuit monitoring and, on some models, remote control or automatic load shedding. It is still a listed load center. SPAN-class units replace the entire panel. Leviton and Eaton options can be a new load center or smart breakers in a compatible existing enclosure.

$7,500-$9,500 SPAN-class; $3,000-$5,000 Leviton-class, depending on whether the project is a full panel replacement or add-on smart breakers, plus any service or grounding work the load calculation requires.

Not always. A conventional panel with the right bus rating, backfeed space, and transfer equipment can support solar-ready or battery work. A smart panel is useful when you want automatic circuit selection or load sharing with an EV charger.

No. SPAN is one whole-panel product. Leviton smart load centers and Eaton smart breakers are other listed paths. We recommend from the existing equipment and the features you actually need.

Alexandria homes are mostly pre-1960 Old Town row houses, Del Ray bungalows and Beverley Hills ranches, so we frequently encounter weak grounding-electrode systems and 100A panels. The most common situation we address is grounding upgrades required before SPD or panel work in Old Town and Del Ray. Permits for this work go through the Alexandria Department of Code Administration, and Alexandria City charges its own permit fees, which we itemize up front. That local knowledge means AJ Long Electric arrives prepared for the conditions specific to Alexandria rather than treating it like any other Alexandria City job.
