Fairfax Electrician FAQs
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Fairfax?
Yes, most major electrical work needs a permit in Fairfax. Sure, the little stuff (like replacing a bulb and like-for-like replacements) doesn’t need any paperwork, but anything that really changes your home’s electrical infrastructure needs a sign-off via Fairfax County’s Planning and Land Use System (PLUS). If you’re in the city, you’ll use the City of Fairfax Permit Portal. We can help you with that.
How do I know if my Fairfax home has aluminum wiring?
Was your home built between the early ‘60s and the early-to-mid ‘70s? These are the most likely candidates in Fairfax. During a routine electrical inspection, we’ll check on your wiring and confirm if you’re dealing with vastly outdated wiring. A full-on rewire might not be necessary at first; we can sometimes remediate problems with the proper connectors, since aluminum wiring loosens those connections over time.
Do I need a whole new panel to add an EV charger?
Not every time. The F.H. Furr team will check your panel and see if it’s up to the job. Sometimes a dedicated circuit will be enough, but if your home’s older and your panel is undersized, a panel upgrade’s probably in your best interest. Whatever the choice, we’ll walk you through them all.
