Your Trusted Westover Electrical Contractor
Westover is a beloved Arlington neighborhood centered around its charming village shopping district, which has anchored the community since the 1940s. The neighborhood features tree-lined streets of Cape Cod, Colonial, and rambler homes built primarily in the 1940s and 1950s during the post-war housing boom that transformed Arlington from farmland into thriving suburban communities. Westover Market and the surrounding shops give the area a small-town Main Street feel that residents treasure.
The post-war homes in Westover share common electrical characteristics that reflect construction standards of their era. Most were built with 100-amp electrical panels and two-prong ungrounded outlets, adequate for the modest electrical demands of mid-century households but far short of today's requirements. Homeowners undertaking kitchen renovations discover that existing circuits cannot support modern appliances like induction cooktops, double wall ovens, and high-powered dishwashers, necessitating new dedicated circuits and often a panel upgrade.
AJ Long Electric has helped countless Westover families modernize their home electrical systems. We understand the typical layout and construction methods of these post-war homes, allowing us to plan efficient upgrade paths that minimize disruption. Our most common projects in Westover include 200-amp panel upgrades, kitchen and bathroom circuit additions, whole-house grounding upgrades, and outdoor electrical installations for the pools, patios, and landscape lighting that residents add to enhance their properties.
