Your Trusted Lyon Village Electrical Contractor
Lyon Village is one of Arlington's most prestigious and historically significant neighborhoods, developed primarily in the 1920s and 1930s by Frank Lyon who envisioned a garden community of distinctive homes. The neighborhood's character is defined by its eclectic mix of architectural styles including Craftsman bungalows, Tudor Revival cottages, and Colonial homes, all set along curving streets beneath a mature tree canopy that provides exceptional beauty in every season.
The electrical systems in Lyon Village homes reflect the construction practices of nearly a century ago. Original wiring installations used knob-and-tube methodology with cloth insulation, and many homes were equipped with small electrical panels designed for a handful of lighting circuits and a few outlets. Modern residents who want to add central air conditioning, update kitchens with high-draw appliances, install home office circuits, or charge electric vehicles find that comprehensive electrical upgrades are essential.
AJ Long Electric has served Lyon Village homeowners for years, developing specific expertise in the electrical renovation of pre-war Arlington homes. We understand the construction techniques used in these homes, including plaster-over-lath walls and uninsulated cavities, which require specialized wiring methods. Our team performs everything from targeted circuit additions to complete whole-house rewiring projects, always working to preserve the historic character while delivering safe, code-compliant modern electrical systems that Lyon Village families depend on.
