Outlets, Switches & Ceiling Fans in Northern Virginia

The outlets and switches in your home get used every single day, so when one stops working, feels warm, or crackles when you flip it, you notice fast. Jab and Son Services installs, repairs, and upgrades outlets, light switches, dimmers, and ceiling fans across Northern Virginia, along with parts of Maryland and Washington DC. It is the kind of everyday electrical work that looks simple but still needs to be done to code and done safely.

What This Service Covers

We handle the small devices that make a home comfortable and functional. That includes replacing worn or loose outlets, adding new receptacles where you are tired of running extension cords, and installing GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor areas. On the switch side we swap out failing switches, add three-way switches for stairwells and long hallways, and install dimmers and smart controls. We also mount and wire ceiling fans, including brace-box installs where no fixture existed before.

Warning Signs You Need an Electrician

Some problems are easy to miss until they become a hazard. Call us if an outlet is warm to the touch, shows scorch marks, or no longer grips a plug. Flickering lights, switches that buzz or spark, and breakers that trip when you turn on a fan are all worth a look. A ceiling fan that wobbles, hums, or is wired to an undersized box needs attention before it becomes a safety concern.

What the Job Involves

We start by confirming what is behind the wall, because an outlet is only as safe as the wiring feeding it. After cutting power at the panel and testing to verify it is dead, we replace or add the device, check the connections, and make sure everything is grounded properly. For fans, we confirm the box is fan-rated and can carry the weight and motion. Then we test under load and clean up before we leave.

Safety and Code Considerations

Virginia follows the National Electrical Code, which requires GFCI and AFCI protection in specific locations and tamper-resistant receptacles in living spaces. Ceiling fans must hang from a listed fan-rated support, not a standard lighting box. Abraham is a licensed Master Electrician, so this work is done to the letter of current code, not guesswork.
