About Our Olney Services
Your Trusted Olney Electrical Contractor
Olney is a Census-designated community in northern Montgomery County, sitting at the historical edge of the Washington metropolitan area where the suburban density of the inner Beltway transitions to larger-lot single-family development and remaining agricultural land. The community grew rapidly during the 1970s-90s as Montgomery County's residential development pushed north along Georgia Avenue (MD-97), and most of Olney's roughly 34,000 residents live in single-family homes on substantial lots in neighborhoods like Cherrywood, Olney Mill, Hallowell, Cashell Estates, and Brooke Manor.
The Olney housing mix presents a particular electrical-work profile. The bulk of single-family homes were built between 1975 and 1995, with 100-amp service standard for the era. Those panels are now at end-of-life, and we do steady panel-upgrade work to 200-amp service throughout Olney, typically tied to EV-charger installations, generator additions, or kitchen and master-bath renovations. Older homes from the 1960s and earlier in the historic Olney village area present additional challenges — some still have 60-amp fuse boxes, ungrounded sections, and limited circuit capacity that require more substantial rewires.
Olney's larger-lot character (compared to inner Beltway communities) drives a different mix of services than what we do in higher-density Wheaton or Silver Spring. Standby generator installs are common — the community sits at the end of long PEPCO distribution lines that take longer to restore after summer storms, and homeowners on multi-acre lots with well water and septic systems lose more than just lights when power goes out. Generac and Kohler 20-26 kW whole-house standby installs with automatic transfer switches are routine for us in Olney. Landscape lighting on large lots, outdoor-kitchen and pool/hot-tub electrical, and dedicated circuits for detached garages and workshops also figure heavily in our Olney workload.
The Olney village center along Georgia Avenue has a small commercial corridor with restaurants, retail, and professional offices. We handle tenant electrical and small-commercial work in this area alongside our residential focus.
Olney homeowners choose AJ Long Electric for our experience with larger-lot residential electrical, transparent flat-rate pricing, and our workmanship warranty backing every job.
