When Arlington Community Church learned that their older electrical infrastructure wasn’t up to par for safety, they trusted PRO Electric plus HVAC to do the entire project. We replaced the 10-year warranty breaker panel, added necessary safety equipment such as surge protectors and GFCI outlets, and boosted grounding with new water pipe bonding and ground rods. "With 13 new, energy-efficient light fixtures lighting their building, the church now has a clean and modern electric infrastructure that complies with all codes. They can be focused on their mission in the knowledge that their facility is secure and functional.
I installed a home EV charger and surge protector for a client in Arlington, Virginia.
The client bought an electric vehicle and required a home charging solution.
They also feared that power surges would harm their new charger and other electronics.
Understanding the Client’s Needs
The client wanted to charge their EV at home easily and quickly.
They also needed to safeguard their house against voltage spikes.
I recommended a Level 2 EV charging station for quicker charging and a whole-house surge protector for electric safety.
Our Solution
I assessed their electrical panel to ensure it could handle the additional load.
The panel was adequate, so no upgrades were needed.
We selected a convenient spot in their garage for the charger, keeping safety in mind.
I handled all necessary permits and ensured the installation met the National Electrical Code and local regulations for Arlington County.
Installation Steps
Installing the EV Charger
Dedicated Circuit: I installed a new 240-volt circuit breaker in the electrical panel.
Wiring: Ran the appropriate wire from the panel to the charging station location.
Mounting: Secured the Level 2 charger on the garage wall.
Connections: Made all electrical connections securely and up to code.
Installing the Surge Protector
Placement: The surge protector is mounted next to the electrical panel.
Integration: Connected it directly to the main service for maximum protection.
Testing: Verified that the surge protector was working correctly.

They have their whole house safeguarded from power surges.
They were satisfied with the prompt service and added peace of mind.
