Why I started this
I spent years working for bigger electrical companies. Good work, mostly — but I kept watching the same thing happen. A homeowner would call about a flickering light, and someone would walk in trying to sell them a $4,000 panel upgrade.
That's not how I wanted to work. So I went on my own — Adely Electric, the trade name, with Pro Ampacity LLC on the paperwork.
How I work
It's pretty simple. I answer the phone — if I'm in someone's attic, I'll call back within the hour. I show up when I say I will — and if traffic is bad, I'll text. I quote in writing — and the number on the invoice matches the number on the quote.
I'm not the cheapest electrician in NOVA. I'm not trying to be. What I am is the one who'll tell you the truth, do the work right, clean up after himself, and pick up the phone the next time you call.
The work itself
I've spent over a decade doing residential electrical work. I came up doing service work in older NOVA homes — the ones with the 1970s panels, the ungrounded outlets, the dubious DIY rewiring jobs from the previous owner.
These days I do a lot of EV chargers, lighting plans for renovations, panel upgrades, and the random "can you take a look at this?" calls that turn into half-day fixes. I like the variety. No two days are the same.
Outside of work
I live in NOVA. When I'm not in someone's basement chasing a tripped breaker, I'm probably at church band practice or messing with my own home projects (the cobbler's children, etc.). I'm a real person. I'll act like one when I'm in your house.
