Installation & ReplacementOutdoor Service Disconnect
Falls Church, VA

The service disconnect (or safety switch) is the exterior shut-off point that lets you—or emergency responders—quickly kill all power to your home.

Purpose: Provides a visible, accessible circuit-breaker outside for safety, maintenance, and code compliance.

• Existing disconnect is rusted, corroded, or stuck
• No exterior disconnect present (code requirement for many jurisdictions)
• Damaged or loose cover, exposing live parts
• Planning major electrical upgrades (panel upsizes, EV charger, solar)
• After storm damage, flooding, or rodent chewing

• Safety First: Instant power shutoff for first responders & maintenance
• Code Compliance: Meets NEC 230.85 & local utility requirements
• Convenient Access: No need to enter your home for power shutoff
• Peace of Mind: Reliable, weather-proof enclosure protects critical circuitry
• Future-Ready: Supports new loads—EV chargers, generators, solar inverters

Oh, absolutely. Fairfax, Loudoun, Prince William, and Arlington Counties now insist on an exterior shut-off within 30 feet of your meter so that anyone—firefighters, utility workers or you—can kill power fast in an emergency.

Skipping this step can derail your inspection, void your insurance, and even land you in hot water if first responders can’t cut juice quickly.

Best part? Installing a weather-tight disconnect is a relatively small investment that pays off in safety, code compliance, and peace of mind—especially if you’re planning to add an EV charger, solar panels or any major load down the road.
