In Bethesda, DC and the surrounding suburbs, the heavy-up process involves the submission of plans and permit applications to the local government for approval and inspections.

I wanted to thank you for all the work you have done for us at both of our houses this past year. During a stressful time, you always arrived with solutions and returned again and again to address all the other emergencies and electrical surprises. Your talents and customer service are so appreciated by Kip and me and I just wanted to let you know how terrific it is knowing you are there to rely on. Your professionalism, candor and expertise make our lives better truly!
I wanted you to know that last night at the Finance Committee Meeting I complimented you and told everyone how fantastic you had been throughout our “water damage emergency”. You really were super and your loyalty, support and guidance meant a great deal to me. St. Paul’s Rock Creek Parish is lucky to have you as our electrician.
Thank you! You were fast, professional, courteous and you locked the house securely when you left. Much obliged!
Many thanks to you...and Patrick for getting us ship-shape and ready for the holidays. I've been waiting for Christmas lights for 25 years! And it's good to be able to see in the basement and I know all the plugs are properly installed and grounded. All the best to you.
I just wanted you to know how happy my wife and I were with the electrical service you provided for us recently. You were recommended by some friends and you more then lived up to their recommendation. The work you did the living area of the house - mostly changing the outlets to the 3-prong type- was neat and professional. I particularly appreciate the way you ran the wire on the outside of the house behind the downspout and along a ledge so that it wouldn't show and that you ran the other exterior wires through metal casing so that they wouldn't be exposed. The D.C. government inspector approved your heavy-up with no problems and PEPCO came shortly thereafter to finish their part of the job. Thanks again for the efficient, professional, and reasonably-priced service you performed.
After a series of power outages in our area, I decided to by a back up generator which keeps my family comfortable and allows my home business to continue operating. Walt recommended equipment and supervised the entire installation from delivery to approval by the local utility. He was on site when needed and was available for follow-up questions. I've used Walt's company for years for installation of ceiling fans to additional lighting and electrical repairs. Walt always gives me a day and time for service. it's usually the same day. He is prompt and efficient and his price is competitive and fair.
Very easy to work with, attentive to detail, understood the work I explained. Put in a better switch than I had before.
Truck lighting, scorces, new A/C unit. Excellent. Well Meyer listened to us and found a way to meet our needs, which were a bit unusual.
Numerous recessed lighting fixtures installed throughout the house (~15-20). Ceiling fan installed. Lighting installed in ~five closets. Meyer Electric did a big job for us, including electrical, lighting, and ceiling fan work. Everything went very well, and we were pleased with the work. It is not about six years later, and everything still works great. One thing that was really great about what Walt Meyer did was that he did his best not to create a lot of holes in the wall or other damage that would have to be repaired. He installed a lot of lights (and a fan) and there was very little that had to be done "afterwards" to fix any holes, etc. We were having a painter come in afterwards, so we were prepared to have him patch thing up, but he hardly had anything to do. Meyer Electric did a great job with our project, and we would definitely use them again. In fact since this job was done, we have!

We want to protect our home and family, so we prepare for the day that a natural disaster may strike. Severe weather events happen fairly frequently in Maryland during the summer.

The Free State must also deal with the occasional hurricane.

Key Electrical Upgrades for Your Home Remodel – Part 2
Part 2 will discuss more key electrical upgrades during a home remodel.
Key Electrical Upgrades for Your Home Remodel – Part 1
Are you planning to remodel your home? Why not also perform needed electrical upgrades? The majority of houses constructed more than 35 years ago are unable to handle modern electrical demands. When walls are being torn down, it's the perfect opportunity to replace outdated wiring. Remodels often add new areas and rooms to a home, increasing demand for power. The following will discuss electrical upgrades homeowners should consider during remodeling.
Rewiring & Rerouting
A renovation typically involves expanding a room and making changes as to how furniture or appliances will be arranged. For example, you may choose to transform your traditional kitchen setup to one that has an open plan. As determined by the available space, you might decide to create a kitchen island, pantry, or storage room.
You have the freedom to choose your new kitchen’s look. However, your home’s existing electrical system may not be capable of handling the additional electrical load. It is easier to have an electrician perform the rewiring during the remodeling process. Aside from being more efficient, it will usually save time and be less expensive.
Modern Lighting Features
Installing modern lighting fixtures and features is a remodeling upgrade that will enhance the lifestyle of your home. Homeowners who enjoy hosting guests are aware how lighting can create the right ambiance and mood for an event such as a dinner party. Although it is important to get the right type of lighting, installing modern lighting devices will give you more control. Options include dimmers, multi-locations, remote control, and 3-way and 4-way switches.
Heavy-Up for Older Home
An electrical panel upgrade or heavy-up is often needed by an older home being remodeled. The addition of one or more rooms will increase the electrical demand and an older electrical infrastructure may not be able to handle the increased load, increasing the risk of fire.
The number of electrical devices has also risen. Along with the rapidly growing number of computers and mobile devices, most new American homes are equipped with an air conditioner, dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator. A heavy-up for 200 to 400 amps will not only provide the electricity a modern family needs, it will make your home safer.
