Your Trusted Highland Park-Overlee Knolls Electrical Contractor
Highland Park-Overlee Knolls is a distinguished residential neighborhood in northern Arlington, known for its rolling topography, mature tree canopy, and well-maintained homes that create an atmosphere of established suburban comfort. Developed primarily in the 1940s and 1950s, the neighborhood features Colonials, Cape Cods, ramblers, and split-levels on generous lots that provide ample space for gardens, play areas, and outdoor living. The highly regarded Overlee Pool serves as a popular community gathering place during summer months.
The electrical systems in Highland Park-Overlee Knolls homes reflect their mid-century construction vintage. Original installations include 100-amp panels, limited circuit counts, and wiring methods that were standard for the era but fall short of modern requirements. Some homes that underwent renovations in the 1970s had aluminum wiring installed, which requires ongoing attention to connection integrity. The neighborhood's heavy tree coverage, while prized for its beauty and shade, makes overhead power lines susceptible to storm damage and outages.
AJ Long Electric has built strong relationships with Highland Park-Overlee Knolls homeowners through years of reliable service. We perform the full range of electrical upgrades that mid-century homes in this neighborhood typically need, including 200-amp panel installations, dedicated circuits for modern appliances and HVAC systems, and aluminum wiring remediation. Generator installations are particularly popular in this neighborhood due to the storm vulnerability created by the extensive tree canopy, and our team designs and installs whole-house standby systems that provide automatic backup power to keep families comfortable during extended outages.
