In Arlington’s Courthouse area, high rise condos sit beside older homes and renovated rowhouses, and the panels behind them range just as widely. PRO Electric plus HVAC repairs, upgrades, and replaces them safely, on permit, and up to code, with a licensed Master Electrician on every job.

Courthouse is the civic heart of Arlington, where the Metro corridor brings together high rise condos, garden style buildings, and pockets of older single family homes and rowhouses just off the main streets. In a condo the panel is usually inside the unit and was sized for the original layout, while in a renovated older home it is often the one part that never got updated. Either way the signs line up: 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 Courthouse 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 Courthouse condos and homes, all on permit and to code.
Move up to 200 amp service so your Courthouse home can carry central air, a renovated kitchen, and added circuits.
Tight utility spaces are normal in Courthouse. We work cleanly within a condo or rowhouse 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.
Courthouse anchors the Rosslyn to Ballston corridor, a dense, walkable stretch of condos, offices, and the county’s civic buildings, with quieter residential blocks tucked just behind the main streets. The homes range from newer high rise units to older houses that have been updated over the years, and the electrical panel is often the piece still waiting its turn. Updating it is exactly the kind of work we do across central Arlington regularly.
Because we serve Courthouse 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 Courthouse 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 condo the panel is usually inside the unit and sized for the original layout, while in a renovated older Courthouse home it is often the part that never got updated. Some homes also carry recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco equipment. A licensed PRO Electric plus HVAC electrician can confirm during a free assessment.
Yes. A panel or service upgrade in Courthouse requires an Arlington County electrical permit and inspection. PRO Electric plus HVAC handles the permit, coordinates the utility disconnect and reconnect, and makes sure the finished work passes inspection and meets the current National Electrical Code.
Yes. Condo panels are usually inside the unit in a tight closet or wall, and we are used to working in that space. We assess what the existing service can support and add capacity or upgrade the panel cleanly. Some changes may also involve the building’s electrical service, and we will tell you up front if that is the case.
