Licensed Electricians Serving Lorton, VA
Lorton has changed faster than almost anywhere else in southern Fairfax County. Newer subdivisions and townhome communities have gone up alongside long-established homes and a working commercial and industrial corridor along Cinder Bed Road — so in a single week we might wire a spa circuit at a new build and troubleshoot a three-phase issue at a warehouse.
Residential and Commercial in One Town
On the residential side, Lorton’s newer homes are prime candidates for EV charger installation, hot tub and spa circuits, and finished-basement wiring. On the commercial side, we handle service calls, tenant work and equipment circuits for the businesses along the Cinder Bed corridor — see our commercial electrical services.
Recent Work in Lorton
A recent Lorton install put an EV charger on a fused disconnect feeding a NEMA 14-50 outlet — the photos below show the finished assembly, the disconnect interior, and the part most companies skip photographing: verification. We measured 122 volts on each leg and 244 volts across, confirming the circuit before handing it over. A charger that works on day one is the minimum; proving the circuit is right is the job.
We’ve also installed an EVIQO charger beside a garage panel here, and we handle commercial work along the Cinder Bed Road corridor — see our commercial electrical services.
