Storms roll through this part of Prince William County every year, and with them come the power outages that leave homes dark, freezers thawing, and sump pumps idle right when they are needed most. Montclair homeowners tell us they are tired of losing power for hours or days at a time. Jab and Son Services focuses a lot of its work here on keeping the lights on and protecting what happens when the grid goes down or surges back up.

Standby and Portable Generators

A whole-home standby generator kicks on automatically within seconds of an outage, running your essentials or your entire house on natural gas or propane. For homeowners who prefer a portable unit, we install manual transfer switches and inlet boxes so you can power your home safely without dangerous extension cords or backfeeding. Abraham, a licensed Master Electrician, sizes the system to what you actually need to run, from the fridge and furnace to the well pump and sump.

Whole-Home Surge Protection

The same storms that cut power also send surges through the lines when service is restored. A single surge can wipe out electronics, appliances, and HVAC boards in an instant. A panel-mounted surge protective device guards the whole house at the source, a small investment against expensive damage.

Outage-Related Repairs

After a storm we get calls about half-lit homes, dead circuits, and burned-out devices. Loose neutrals, damaged service lines, and tripped equipment all show up in the aftermath. We diagnose the real cause and make lasting repairs rather than quick patches.

Prepared and Dependable

We show up on time, explain your options in plain language, and price the work before we start. When the next storm comes, you will be ready. Treating your home like our own is how we work.

Frequently asked questions

What size generator do I need for my Montclair home?
It depends on what you want to run during an outage, from a few essentials to the whole house. We calculate the load and size the generator to match your needs.
What is the difference between a standby and a portable generator?
A standby generator starts automatically and runs on natural gas or propane, while a portable needs manual setup and fuel. We install transfer switches for both types.
Is backfeeding a generator through a dryer outlet safe?
No. Backfeeding is dangerous and illegal because it can energize downed lines and harm utility crews. We install proper transfer switches instead.
Does a surge protector really matter after a storm?
Yes. Power restoration often sends surges that damage electronics and appliances. A panel-mounted surge protective device shields the whole house at the source.
Half my house lost power after a storm. What causes that?
That often points to a lost neutral or a damaged service conductor. It should be diagnosed promptly because it can damage appliances, so call us to inspect it.
How long does a standby generator installation take?
Most residential standby installs take one to two days for the electrical work, plus coordination for the gas connection and permit.
Can you install just a transfer switch for my existing portable generator?
Yes. We install manual transfer switches and inlet boxes so you can run selected circuits safely without extension cords.
Do you offer generator service on Saturdays?
Yes. We work Monday through Saturday, 8am to 8pm, and you can reach us at (703) 371-4856.
