Span Smart Panel Installation

Span Smart Panel Installation in Fairfax, VA & Northern Virginia

The Span smart panel is the most advanced residential electrical panel available today — and Rojas Electric is one of the only certified Span panel installers serving Fairfax, VA and all of Northern Virginia. Unlike a traditional electrical panel that simply routes power to your home's circuits, the Span panel gives you complete, real-time visibility and direct control over every individual circuit in your home from a smartphone app. Turn circuits on or off remotely. See exactly how much power your refrigerator, HVAC system, EV charger, and any other load is consuming in real time. Prioritize which circuits receive battery backup power during an outage. Integrate seamlessly with EV chargers, solar panels, and battery storage. For homeowners who want the full picture of how their home uses energy — and the ability to act on it — the Span panel changes everything.

As certified Span panel technicians, Rojas Electric handles the complete installation including Fairfax County permitting, utility coordination if needed, circuit labeling, app setup, and a thorough walkthrough until you are completely comfortable with your new system. We also install Span panels as part of combined EV charger, solar integration, and battery backup projects — often more cost-effective than scheduling each separately. If a standard 200-amp upgrade is a better value for your situation, we will tell you that honestly.

What the Span Smart Panel Does

Circuit-Level Monitoring

The Span panel monitors the exact power consumption of every circuit in your home in real time — individual circuits, not just total home usage. Know precisely what your HVAC, EV charger, kitchen appliances, and home office are drawing at any moment.

Remote Circuit Control

Control individual circuits from the Span app on your phone from anywhere. Turn off circuits before leaving on vacation. Schedule circuits to run during off-peak rate hours. Manage high-draw appliances remotely.

Smart Backup Power Prioritization

During a grid outage, configure exactly which circuits receive battery backup power — and which are shed to extend runtime. Keep the refrigerator, medical equipment, and internet on while non-essentials wait. Impossible with a traditional panel.

EV Charger Integration

The Span panel integrates natively with home EV chargers, intelligently throttling charging speeds based on your home's other energy demands. Your charger and your HVAC do not fight for the same power.

Solar & Battery System Integration

Span is designed from the ground up to work alongside solar panels and battery storage. It monitors all energy flows — grid, solar, battery, and consumption — and optimizes in real time when to draw from each source.

Modern Design

The Span panel replaces your traditional gray metal box with a clean, modern panel. The Span app interface is intuitive — most homeowners are comfortable managing their system within the first week.

Energy Insights Over Time

The Span app tracks your energy consumption over time, identifies usage patterns, and can alert you to unusual draws — catching appliance failures and energy waste early.

Our Span Panel Installation Process in Fairfax, VA & Northern Virginia

1

Installation Day

Our certified Span technicians remove your existing panel, install the Span panel, connect all circuits, and label each one in both the physical panel and the Span app. Installation requires one full day.

Electrical Panel Upgrade in Fairfax, VA & Northern Virginia

Span smart panel installations in Fairfax and Northern Virginia typically range from $4,000 to $7,500 depending on your current electrical service, whether a service upgrade is also needed, and any additional work such as EV charger integration or battery backup wiring.

Call Rojas Electric for a free estimate specific to your home.

For homeowners with EV chargers, solar systems, or battery backup — or who plan to add any of these — the Span panel provides genuine, measurable value. For homeowners with no plans for solar, batteries, or EV charging who simply need a panel replacement, a standard 200-amp upgrade is typically a better value. We give you an honest recommendation either way.

No. Span panel installation requires a licensed electrician with Span-specific certification, a Fairfax County electrical permit, and a county inspection. A DIY installation would void the Span warranty, fail county inspection, and create a serious safety hazard. Rojas Electric is a certified Span installer serving all of Northern Virginia.

Yes — solar integration is one of the Span panel's core strengths. It monitors all energy flows including grid input, solar generation, battery storage, and home consumption simultaneously, optimizing when to draw from each source. Rojas Electric handles the complete electrical integration between your Span panel and your solar or battery system.

The Span panel integrates with a range of battery storage systems. Rojas Electric installs EcoFlow battery backup systems, and the integration with Span is particularly effective for configuring backup circuit priority during outages. Specific battery compatibility should be confirmed during your assessment.

A traditional electrical panel distributes power to your home's circuits — that is all it does. The Span panel does the same job but adds real-time circuit-level monitoring, remote control via smartphone, smart backup prioritization during outages, and native integration with EV chargers, solar, and battery systems.

A Span panel installation typically takes one full day. Your home's power will be off for most of that day while the panel is replaced, all circuits are reconnected, and the system is configured and tested.

If you have a battery backup system, your Span panel automatically detects the outage and transitions to battery power for your priority circuits. Non-priority circuits are shed to extend your battery runtime. You can monitor and adjust this in real time from the Span app on your phone, even during the outage.

In most cases, no. If your existing electrical service amperage is sufficient, utility coordination is not required. If your home also needs a service upgrade, we coordinate with Dominion Energy on your behalf as part of the project.
