The remnants of Hurricane Ida hit Montgomery County in September 2021 with flash flooding and widespread outages. Out here an outage means the sump pump, the freezer and the furnace all stop at once. So the calls we take around Sumneytown lean toward backup power: a standby generator with an automatic transfer switch, sized for the loads you cannot lose. We are a certified Generac dealer, and we service what we install.
A whole-house surge protector at the panel is the smaller companion job. It catches the spikes that ride in when power returns and protects the furnace board.
The houses follow the county pattern. Across Montgomery County, aluminum branch wiring, 100-amp panels, two-prong outlets and recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels turn up often. An electrical safety inspection tells you which of those your house has, with a written price for each fix.
