Professional Home Battery & Wall Packs Services in Herndon
AJ Long Electric provides professional home battery & wall packs services in Herndon, VA. Our licensed electricians have served Fairfax County for over four decades, delivering safe, code-compliant electrical work for homeowners and businesses. With deep experience across every type of residential electrical project, we bring both technical expertise and local knowledge to every job we complete in the Herndon area. In Herndon specifically, we most often work on 1970s-1990s subdivisions plus historic downtown Herndon, where 150-200A panels with room for EV and HVAC additions are common — a backdrop that shapes how we approach home battery & wall packs here.
In neighborhoods like Historic Downtown Herndon, McNair Farms, Heritage Crossing, Westfield, Fox Mill, near landmarks such as Herndon Town Green, Frying Pan Farm Park, W&OD Trail, we have completed countless home battery & wall packs projects. Our familiarity with local building codes, inspection requirements, and the common electrical challenges found in Fairfax County homes ensures your project is completed correctly the first time. On the ground in Herndon, the issue we run into most is added-circuit demand for home offices in Kingstream and Dranesville Station. Because the work is permitted through the Fairfax County Land Development Services, we pull the permit, schedule the inspection, and verify grounding to NEC 250 before we close out — and Fairfax County permit fees apply and are folded into the written estimate.

Selected-Load Backup
The design starts with the circuits that matter during an outage, not a one-size whole-house package.
Listed Equipment
We supply EcoFlow, Bluetti, and Anker SOLIX systems, or connect other listed customer-selected batteries.
Panel Integration
Transfer equipment or a smart home panel keeps utility and battery sources from backfeeding each other.
Silent Indoor Operation
Battery systems produce no exhaust, so they can sit in a garage or utility space without a fuel-burning generator.
Solar-Ready Path
Grid and, where the equipment allows, solar recharge are documented in the written scope.
What to Expect from Our Home Battery & Wall Packs Service
AJ Long Electric supplies and installs listed home battery equipment, or connects customer-selected listed batteries, so selected household circuits stay powered during an outage. The defined scope may include a wall-mounted power station, a backed-up-load panel or smart home panel, transfer equipment, conductors, protection, labeling, and commissioning. We start with the circuits you want to keep alive, the equipment ratings, the existing panel, and the route. Portable generator hookups stay on the generators page. Tesla Powerwall and Enphase whole-home product sales are quoted only when the listed equipment and interconnection path are confirmed for the property. In Herndon, we have seen how historic downtown property electrical updates affects homeowners. That is why we take the time to assess your entire electrical system and recommend solutions that address both immediate needs and long-term reliability. Every home battery & wall packs project we complete in Fairfax County includes a thorough inspection, detailed documentation, and our commitment to your complete satisfaction.

Home Battery & Wall Packs Questions from Herndon Homeowners
What home batteries does AJ Long Electric install?
We supply and install listed EcoFlow, Bluetti, and Anker SOLIX wall-pack and power-station systems, and we connect other listed customer-selected batteries when the equipment, panel, and manufacturer instructions are compatible. Tesla Powerwall and Enphase product lines are evaluated per project.
How much does a home battery install cost?
$2,500-$6,000 portable; $6,000-$15,000+ whole-home, depending on capacity, whether the unit is portable or hardwired through a smart home panel, and the number of backed-up circuits. Equipment and electrical work are itemized on the written proposal.
Do you still install portable generator hookups?
Yes. Inlet boxes, manual transfer switches, and listed interlocks remain on the portable generator hookups page. This page is for battery wall packs and hardwired battery integration.
Will a battery work with a future solar array?
Many listed systems recharge from the grid and can accept solar input when the inverter and interconnection are designed for it. We document that electrical path. Rooftop solar installation is a separate, gated offer.
Does battery backup require a permit?
Hardwired transfer equipment and smart-panel connections typically need an electrical permit. We confirm the path for the address before work is scheduled.
