Panel Replacement
An aging electrical panel prompted the need for an upgrade. We replaced the existing load center with a new Square D 40-Space, 80-Circuit, 200-Amp panel, ensuring compliance with the National Electrical Code and Fairfax County standards. This included safely disconnecting circuits, installing surge protection, and verifying the functionality of all connections before power restoration.
Relocate Exit Sign In Entryway
The exit sign was positioned in a location where it was not visible, creating a safety concern. We relocated the exit sign to the other side of the light fixture, utilizing the existing access to re-route the wiring. A new support box was installed, and once reconnected, we ensured the sign was fully operational. Any drywall damage from the installation will be patched and painted.
Diagnostic Service
We evaluated the electrical system in the home, addressing multiple issues including deteriorating outlets and malfunctioning LED fixtures. After replacing a damaged kitchen receptacle, we corrected a reverse polarity issue in the basement. The main electrical panel was serviced, tightening all connections while noting a mysterious liquid on a breaker. Additionally, we secured loose grounding connections at the water shuttle valve to enhance system safety.
Diagnostic Service
After diagnosing the electrical issue resulting from a fire incident near the oven, we evaluated both the microwave and oven for functionality. Fortunately, there was no physical damage found. We then secured the electrical cord for the range properly against the baseboard to ensure safe operation.
What Fairfax homeowners are saying

I had a great experience working with Ryan and Duke for an electrical panel upgrade. I am always looking to support a small business in my neighborhood, given the work by a small business is usually much higher quality and you usually receive much higher service overall. This is absolutely the case with Sarah & Family Electrical Service and I would highly recommend using them for your electrical needs. Ryan and Duke arrived right on time for the quote, installation, and inspection, thoroughly diagnosed the issue, and explained all the work that needed to be done clearly before getting started. The quote was fair, they took the time to explain what was absolutely necessary to upgrade and what could wait a few years, taking into account the budget that I had as a new homeowner. As someone who has previously worked with electricians from larger companies, who sometimes may come in with a lower quote, it is worth the small amount of extra money to go with a local small business - the work and customer service speaks for itself. Ryan and Duke's workmanship was top-notch: there was clear attention to detail, they took the time to patiently explain everything they were doing each step of the way, they ensured everything was installed safely to code, and they were respectful of my home and left the workspace spotless when finished. It is rare to find contractors who are this communication-focused, honest, and meticulous. I will definitely be using Sarah & Family for all my future electrical needs and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality work!
Working with Sarah and Family Electrical Services is always a positive experience. From scheduling the appointment, to getting the work done, to the finding the work area fully cleaned up afterwards, there are no complaints! They are definitely our “go to” people for all electrical needs!
Sarah and family does great work at a fair price. I will use them again in the future for any electical needs.
Best electrician in town. Great communication, punctuality, expertise, customer service, everything. Plus it's a small, family owned business, the kind you should support.
