Your Trusted Clarendon Electrical Contractor
Clarendon stands as one of Arlington's most vibrant and walkable neighborhoods, blending early 20th-century residential charm with modern urban redevelopment. Originally developed in the 1920s and 1930s as a streetcar suburb, Clarendon features a mix of original bungalows, mid-century homes, and contemporary high-rise condominiums that have transformed the area since the early 2000s.
The neighborhood's electrical landscape is uniquely complex due to this mix of housing eras. Original bungalows from the 1920s-1940s often contain remnants of knob-and-tube wiring, cloth-insulated conductors, and undersized 60-amp panels that are wholly inadequate for modern living. These homes require comprehensive rewiring to support air conditioning, home offices, and kitchen renovations. Meanwhile, newer condo buildings present their own challenges, including the need for EV charging station installations in parking garages and load management systems for buildings approaching their electrical capacity.
AJ Long Electric serves Clarendon homeowners and condo associations with everything from historic home rewiring to modern smart home installations. Our familiarity with Arlington County permitting requirements and the specific electrical characteristics of Clarendon's diverse housing stock makes us the preferred contractor for this dynamic neighborhood. We regularly work with property managers at Clarendon's many condo buildings to plan and install EV charging infrastructure, upgrade common area lighting to LED, and ensure electrical systems meet current code requirements.
