When the electrician arrives at a Fort Washington home or business, the first thing that happens is a conversation. What the customer is seeing, when it started, and what has changed recently are the starting points. From there the work moves to the panel, the affected circuit, and whatever is behind the wall or inside the fixture that needs attention. Before anything is scheduled, you get a plain answer on what the job involves and what it will cost. That is how every visit goes, whether the call came in about a tripping breaker or a full panel replacement.
We handle the full range of electrical work for homes, rental properties, and businesses in Fort Washington and throughout Prince George's County. We are available every day from 6:30 AM to 9:30 PM.

Older homes in a city this size often carry wiring that was installed long before modern electrical loads were anticipated. Knob-and-tube runs, aluminum branch circuits, and wiring that has been patched and extended over the years are all situations where a partial or complete rewiring makes more sense than continuing to work around what is there. We trace what exists, identify what needs to come out, and run new circuits that meet current code. Wiring work is checked against code before sign-off, which matters when the job involves a finished wall or a circuit that has to pass inspection.
A dead outlet, a switch that stopped responding, or a receptacle that sparks when something is plugged in are all calls worth making. We install and replace standard outlets, GFCI outlets for kitchens, bathrooms, and garages, AFCI outlets where code requires them, and USB outlet combinations. Switch work covers standard replacements, dimmer installation, and three-way switches that have developed a fault. Code-compliant wiring on every job means the replacement is done right, not just done fast.
A Level 2 home EV charger runs on a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and the installation starts at the panel. We check the existing capacity, calculate whether the current service can carry the new load, and pull the circuit to the garage or parking area. If the panel does not have room, we walk through the upgrade path on the call before anything is scheduled. An older panel is worth a look before a big appliance goes in, and an EV charger is exactly the kind of load that can reveal a panel that has quietly run out of headroom.
Lighting work covers more than swapping a bulb. We install recessed lighting, retrofit existing cans with LED trims, run circuits for under-cabinet lighting, and wire ceiling fixtures throughout the home. Ceiling fan installation is part of the same work, including running new wiring to a ceiling box where the existing box is not rated for a fan. If a room has no overhead lighting at all and the customer wants it, we run the circuit, install the box, and connect the fixture or fan from scratch.
Electrical problems don't wait, and neither do we, but intermittent faults are their own category. A breaker that trips occasionally but not every time. A circuit that loses power only when it rains. An outlet that works fine until the refrigerator kicks on. These are not straightforward repairs, because the fault is not always present when the electrician arrives.
Finding an intermittent fault means testing under the conditions that produce it, not just under normal load. We check connections at every point in the circuit, look for wiring that is pinched or damaged in a way that only matters when it flexes, and test GFCI and AFCI devices that may be triggering on a signal they are reading correctly but that the customer has not connected to the symptom. A nuisance trip and a genuine arc fault can look identical until you put a meter on the circuit.
That diagnostic work is its own job, and we treat it that way. The scope is explained before we start. Leave the breakers to us.
Matching a replacement part to an existing installation is straightforward when the equipment is current. It is a different problem when the panel, the fixture, or the device is old enough that the manufacturer no longer makes the matching component. A breaker that fits the bus bar, a trim ring that matches the existing can, a switch plate that covers the original box without leaving a gap: these are details that matter on a finished wall in a home someone lives in.
When a part has to be ordered, we say so on the call and explain what that means for the timeline. We do not fit a substitute that is close enough and move on. If the original equipment is obsolete to the point where no compatible replacement exists, we explain what a proper fix involves and what it will take to bring that part of the system up to current standard.
That conversation happens before any work is scheduled, not after the wall is open. The scope and the price reflect what is actually there, not what was assumed.
Staying ahead of electrical problems keeps your home safe, and the scheduling process is designed to make that straightforward. When you call, we go over the problem, the property type, and what the job is likely to involve. The price is confirmed before anything is booked. We are open every day from 6:30 AM to 9:30 PM, including evenings and weekends, so fitting a visit around a work schedule or a tenant's availability is part of how we operate.
For problems that will not keep, we take short-notice calls and work through what the schedule allows when you call. If a business or a rental property needs to stay operational during the work, we scope the job with that in mind. Circuits that need to be de-energized, areas that will be without power temporarily, and the order in which the work gets done are all part of what we cover on the call before the visit is confirmed.
Call now. Get on the schedule. Know what the work involves.
The price depends on what the job actually involves. A single outlet replacement is a different scope from running a new dedicated circuit to a kitchen appliance. A panel upgrade that requires a service entrance change is a different job from swapping a panel in place. The fault that turns out to be a loose connection at one device is priced differently from a fault that traces back through three circuits to a breaker that has been failing slowly for months.
What changes a quote is what has to be opened up to reach the fault, whether the existing panel can carry the change, and what the wiring behind the wall turns out to be once the work is underway. We explain all of that on the call so the price you are given reflects the real scope. Ask what it covers and you get a straight answer.

Electrical safety inspections, code correction work, backup generator hookups, whole-home surge protection, and dedicated appliance circuits are all part of what we do in this part of the county. For the full list of services, the services page covers each one in detail.
Yes. Rental properties, duplexes, and multi-unit homes in Fort Washington are part of the work we do regularly. The scope varies depending on the property type and what the job involves, and we go over that on the call before anything is scheduled.
Property owners and managers can reach us at (571) 592-9789 any day from 6:30 AM to 9:30 PM.
A workshop with power tools, compressors, or welding equipment needs circuits sized for the draw of that equipment, which often means 20-amp or 240-volt circuits rather than the standard 15-amp circuits found in living areas. Adequate lighting, a dedicated circuit for a compressor, and GFCI protection for outlets near a sink or in a garage are all common workshop requirements. We scope the workshop's needs based on what equipment will be running there.
Yes. We run circuits to detached garages, sheds, workshops, and other outbuildings as part of the work we do. The job involves a new circuit from the main panel, underground conduit between the structures, and a subpanel or outlet configuration inside the outbuilding depending on what the space needs.
We discuss access arrangements on the call. If the tenant is not available during the day, we look at whether an evening or weekend appointment works, given that we are available daily from 6:30 AM to 9:30 PM. If access requires a key or a property manager to be present, we confirm that before scheduling so the visit does not have to be rescheduled.
A pre-sale electrical inspection gives a clear picture of what a buyer's inspector is likely to flag. Common items include missing GFCI protection in kitchens and bathrooms, double-tapped breakers, open junction boxes, and outdated panel equipment. Addressing those before listing avoids the negotiation that comes when a buyer's inspector finds them first. We can conduct the inspection and handle the repairs as part of the same process.
Many electrical jobs, including panel upgrades, new circuit installations, and rewiring work, require a permit from Prince George's County before the work begins. We cover the permit question on the call when we scope the job, so you know what is required before anything is scheduled. Work that needs a permit is done to the standard the inspector will check, and wiring is checked against code before sign-off.
Buyers and their inspectors commonly ask about the panel's age and condition, the type of wiring in the walls, whether GFCI and AFCI protection is in place, and whether any work has been done without permits. An older panel, aluminum branch wiring, or knob-and-tube runs are the items most likely to come up. We can inspect the system and explain what is there so the seller has a clear answer ready.
Partial power loss usually points to a tripped breaker, a blown fuse in an older panel, or a fault on a specific circuit. Check the panel first and look for a breaker that has moved to the middle position. If resetting it does not restore power, or if it trips again immediately, that is a call worth making rather than something to keep resetting. We trace the fault from the panel to the affected circuit and give you a plain answer on what is causing it.
Every job ends the same way: the circuit is tested under load, the breaker holds, and anything that was opened up to reach the fault is left in the condition it was found. We test every circuit. We label every breaker. We leave it safe.
