Clarendon is one of Arlington’s busiest corners, where the Metro corridor along Wilson and Clarendon Boulevards meets a backdrop of older single family homes and rowhouses that have been renovated time and again. In a renovated older home, the panel is often the part nobody updated, still running modest service while every other room got a refresh. The signs to watch for are breakers that trip when several things run at once, no open slots left, a warm or discolored cover, and lights that dim under load.
In the older Clarendon homes we still find recalled Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels, both with a record of breakers that fail to trip. Our licensed electricians inspect the panel, the service rating, the grounding, and how earlier renovations were tied in, then explain plainly whether a repair, added capacity, or a full upgrade is the right call. A good first step is an electrical safety assessment.
Repairs, upgrades, and replacements for Clarendon homes and rowhouses, all on permit and to code.
Move up to 200 amp service so your Clarendon home can carry central air, a renovated kitchen, and added circuits.
Tight utility spaces are normal in Clarendon. We work cleanly within a rowhouse or condo footprint and add what the unit can support.
A breaker that keeps tripping or will not reset gets diagnosed and replaced, along with whatever caused it.
Federal Pacific and Zinsco panels are a known fire risk. We replace them with safe, code compliant equipment.
Finishing a basement or adding circuits for a renovation? A subpanel adds capacity without overloading the main.
Protect your electronics and appliances with surge protection installed right at the panel.
Clarendon is one of Arlington’s signature urban villages, a walkable stretch of shops, restaurants, and transit wrapped around quiet residential blocks just off the main corridor. The homes here tend to be older and much loved, renovated room by room over the years, with the electrical panel often the last thing on the list. Updating it is exactly the kind of work we do across central Arlington regularly.
Because we serve Clarendon and the rest of Arlington County regularly, the county permit and inspection process is routine for us, and we schedule service upgrades to keep any outage short. Need more than panel work? We also provide general electrical service in Clarendon and round the clock emergency electrical service.
Tell us what your panel is doing and we will get right back with a no obligation quote. Prefer to talk it through? Call 703.225.8222.

Watch for breakers that trip when several things run at once, a panel with no open slots, a warm or discolored cover, and lights that dim under load. In a renovated older Clarendon home the panel is often the part that was never updated, still running modest service behind a refreshed interior. Some homes also carry recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco equipment. A licensed PRO Electric plus HVAC electrician can confirm during a free assessment.
