Northern Virginia · Outdoor Electrical

Outdoor electrical, done to code the first time.

Pool wiring, an EV charger, a generator for the next storm. The wiring outside your walls takes weather and a tougher code, so it needs an electrician who lives in it. We pull the permit on every job, so you never touch the paperwork.

What are you trying to power up outside?

Pick the one that fits your project. Pool and spa is what we're known for. It's where Northern Virginia pool companies bring us in as their electrical sub.

Pool & Spa Electrical

Wiring, motors, lights, automation, hot tubs. NEC Article 680 specialists. We pull permits, pass inspection the first time, and serve as the electrical sub for Northern Virginia pool builders and service companies.

EV Charging

Level 2 chargers, Tesla Wall Connectors, NEMA 14-50 outlets. We size for panel capacity first. Many EV installs need a panel upgrade, and we tell you up front whether yours does.

Generators & Backup Power

Whole-house standby generators, transfer switches, and generator interlock kits. NEC 702 for optional standby systems. We coordinate the gas connection with your propane or natural gas supplier.

Outdoor & Specialty Electrical

Landscape and permanent holiday lighting, outdoor kitchens, weather-resistant receptacles, gate and intercom wiring, detached structures (sheds, garages, workshops, ADUs).

For pool builders

Pool companies keep us on as their electrical sub.

Most of our pool work comes through ongoing pool-builder relationships. Your customer talks to you, you talk to us, we do the electrical. They never feel like they hired two companies. We coordinate from the dig date through final inspection, run NEC Article 680 to the letter, and pass the county inspector the first time.

Why outdoor electrical is different

Why not just call any electrician for the work outside?

Because the wiring outside your house lives a harder life than the wiring inside it. Wetter, tougher to reach, held to a stricter code, and tangled up with whatever other trade is on the job. Most general electricians can do outdoor work. Fewer have done enough of it to do it well.

01
01 | Code

Stricter code requirements

NEC Article 680 (pool/spa), 625 (EV), 702 (generators), and 590 (outdoor receptacles) all carry stricter requirements than indoor branch wiring. Equipotential bonding, GFCI, and disconnect placement rules apply that don't apply inside the house. We cite the section we're working to on every quote.

02
02 | Permits

Permits in every jurisdiction

Every outdoor electrical project requires a permit pulled by a licensed electrician. We pull them in Prince William, Fairfax, Loudoun, Arlington, and the independent cities (Manassas, Manassas Park, Fairfax City, Falls Church, Alexandria). We know which inspectors prefer what.

03
03 | Coordination

Trade coordination

Pool wiring coordinates with pool builders. EV chargers coordinate with the panel and sometimes Dominion. Generators coordinate with gas suppliers. Outdoor lighting coordinates with landscapers. We've spent twenty years building these relationships across NoVA, so we know who to call.

The master electrician shows up himself

Brad Anson is a Virginia Master Electrician trained in the Shreve/McGonegal lineage, and he is on most outdoor consultations himself. Bonding a pool or wiring a generator is not the job to hand to whoever is free that week.

Used Anson for an EV charger install at my house. After the installation, they also coordinated the county inspection that passed with flying colors.
