EV Charger & Solar Disconnect Falls Church, VA | Code-Compliant Install
Thinking about adding an EV charger?
Maybe solar panels?
Or finally upgrading that old electrical panel?
Here’s something most homeowners don’t hear until it’s too late: you need a code-compliant outdoor service disconnect before any of those upgrades get approved.
Why It Matters
You can’t just slap on new tech and call it a day.
The building inspector, your utility company, and even the fire department all require one thing: a safe and accessible way to shut off power from the outside.
Without that exterior disconnect?
You risk failing inspection, delaying your project, and possibly having to rip out newly installed equipment to bring everything up to code.
The Fire Code Changed—Here’s What It Means for You
In Falls Church (and across Fairfax, Arlington, Loudoun, and Prince William Counties), the code now requires an exterior emergency shut-off, especially when your panel is indoors.
That disconnect isn’t optional anymore. It’s required for:
- EV charger installations
- Solar panel hookups
- Panel upgrades (100A to 200A or more)
- Generators or transfer switches
And if you don’t install it right the first time, you’ll pay more later to fix it.
What I See on the Job
I can’t tell you how many homeowners call me after they’ve already hired a solar company or bought a charger, only to find out they’re missing the disconnect. At that point, the project stalls, and now they’re stuck scrambling to get compliant.
You don’t want to be in that situation.
