See how we have helped homeowners across Northern Virginia with their commercial services in herndon needs.
Office Complex Electrical Overhaul
officeChallenge
A 45,000 sq ft office complex built in the early 1990s was experiencing recurring breaker trips, dimming lights during peak hours, and tenant complaints about insufficient outlets for modern workstation setups. The building's original 800-amp service and outdated fluorescent lighting were driving operating costs well above market average.
Solution
AJ Long Electric performed a comprehensive electrical overhaul including a main switchgear upgrade to 1,200 amps, a full LED lighting retrofit across all three floors with occupancy sensors and daylight harvesting controls, and installation of additional 20-amp circuits to every office suite to support modern power demands.
Result
Monthly electricity costs dropped 42% within the first quarter after the retrofit. Tenant satisfaction scores improved dramatically, and the building owner secured two new long-term leases within six months, citing the modernized electrical infrastructure as a key differentiator.
Restaurant Kitchen Electrical Expansion
restaurantChallenge
A newly leased restaurant space in Reston Town Center required a complete electrical build-out for a commercial kitchen with heavy-draw equipment including a convection oven, commercial dishwasher, walk-in cooler, and hood ventilation system. The existing tenant space had only basic office-grade electrical service with no three-phase power.
Solution
We installed a 400-amp three-phase subpanel dedicated to the kitchen, ran heavy-gauge circuits for each piece of commercial kitchen equipment, added GFCI-protected outlets at all wet locations, and installed a grease hood exhaust fan on a dedicated circuit with emergency disconnect. All work was completed during a tight four-week construction timeline coordinated with the general contractor.
Result
The restaurant opened on schedule and passed its health department and fire marshal inspections on the first attempt. The owner reported zero electrical issues during the critical first six months of operation, including during peak holiday service periods.
Medical Office Three-Phase Power Installation
medicalChallenge
A growing orthopedic practice needed to install an in-office MRI machine, digital X-ray equipment, and additional exam room lighting in their 8,000 sq ft suite. The existing single-phase 200-amp service could not support the imaging equipment's power requirements, and the practice needed dedicated isolated ground circuits to prevent electromagnetic interference.
Solution
AJ Long Electric coordinated with the building owner and Dominion Energy to bring three-phase power to the suite, installed a new 600-amp three-phase distribution panel, ran isolated ground circuits for all imaging equipment, and added dedicated UPS-backed circuits for the practice's electronic health records servers.
Result
The orthopedic practice successfully brought diagnostic imaging in-house, reducing patient referral wait times from weeks to same-day. The clean power installation eliminated the electromagnetic interference issues that had plagued a previous attempt by another contractor.
Retail Strip Mall LED Retrofit and Parking Lot Lighting
retailChallenge
A 12-unit strip mall with a large parking lot was spending over $4,200 per month on electricity, much of it wasted by aging metal halide parking lot fixtures and outdated T12 fluorescent lighting in tenant spaces. Several parking lot lights had failed entirely, creating dark spots that tenants flagged as a safety and liability concern.
Solution
We replaced all 24 parking lot pole fixtures with commercial-grade LED units featuring photocell and timer controls, retrofitted interior lighting in common areas and vacant units with LED tubes and new fixtures, and installed a centralized lighting control panel for the property management company to manage exterior lighting schedules remotely.
Result
The property's combined electricity bill dropped to under $1,800 per month, a savings exceeding 57%. The improved parking lot lighting increased foot traffic to evening-hour tenants, and the property qualified for over $8,000 in Dominion Energy commercial rebates.
