Our Story

In May of 2023 Electrify DC was co-founded by a fifth generation Washingtonian electrical contractor and a DC transplant with international experience determined to make home electrification easier for both homeowners and professionals.

In August of 2023, Romita Biswas joined the organization bringing to Electrify DC the technical competencies to look at the issue from an electrical grid perspective.

We have been hard at work ever since and in just over three years, Electrify DC has accomplished a lot. We are lean and punch way above our weight.
