Services

Electrical services in North Jersey.

Seventeen services, from the panel to the last light, for homes and businesses.

01

Power & distribution

The panel, the service and the protection behind everything else in the house.

Electrical panel upgrades

If breakers keep tripping, the panel is full, or you’re adding an EV charger, heat pump or kitchen, the panel is usually where the job starts. We upgrade panels and services, typically to 200 amps, file the permit with your town and coordinate the inspection.

  • 200-amp panel and service upgrades
  • Replacement of fuse boxes and problem panels
  • Permit filing and inspection coordination
  • Most upgrades done in one working day
Ask about electrical panel upgrades

Standby generators

North Jersey knows long outages. A standby generator starts on its own when the grid drops and powers the whole home or the circuits you choose. We handle the electrical side and coordinate the licensed gas-line work, and we offer maintenance so it’s ready when it’s needed.

  • Whole-home or critical-circuit backup
  • Automatic transfer switch installation
  • Gas-line coordination with licensed pros
  • Maintenance for year-round reliability
Ask about standby generators

EV charger installation

We install Level 2 home chargers, including Tesla wall connectors, on a dedicated 240-volt circuit sized for the charger. We check panel capacity first, so the charger and the rest of the house can run together. Garage, driveway, and multi-unit or condo setups.

  • Panel capacity check before install
  • Dedicated 240V circuit, permitted
  • Garage, driveway and condo solutions
  • Load management where the panel is tight
Ask about ev charger installation

Whole-home surge protection

A whole-home surge protector mounts at the panel and helps shield appliances, HVAC equipment and electronics from surges that come in from the utility or from lightning nearby. It works best paired with plug-in protectors for sensitive electronics.

  • Panel-mounted surge protective device
  • Protects HVAC, appliances and electronics
  • Often added during a panel upgrade
Ask about whole-home surge protection

Circuit breaker repair

A breaker that trips again and again is doing its job: something on that circuit is wrong. We find the cause, whether it’s an overloaded circuit, a failing breaker, a loose connection or a fault, and fix it properly.

  • Diagnosis of nuisance tripping
  • Failed or overheating breaker replacement
  • AFCI and GFCI breaker upgrades
Ask about circuit breaker repair
02

Wiring & infrastructure

New wiring for old homes, and the full electrical system for new ones.

Whole-home rewiring

Older wiring wasn’t built for the loads a modern home runs. We rewire homes to current code and modern capacity, planning the runs to keep openings in walls and ceilings to a minimum.

  • Full or partial rewiring
  • Grounded circuits and modern devices
  • Planned to minimize drywall disruption
  • Meets NJ code and insurer requirements
Ask about whole-home rewiring

Knob & tube replacement

Many of the older homes in Montclair, Ridgewood, Glen Rock and the rest of North Jersey still have knob and tube somewhere in the walls. We replace it with modern grounded wiring, which often matters for insurance and for selling the home.

  • Complete removal and replacement
  • Experience with historic homes
  • Helps with insurance and resale
Ask about knob & tube replacement

New construction wiring

From service and rough-in to fixtures and final, we wire new homes, additions and full renovations, and work alongside your builder and designer on high-end custom buildouts.

  • Service, rough-in and finish
  • Additions and gut renovations
  • High-end custom buildouts

Lighting & ambience

The work people notice first: light that shows off the architecture.

Lighting installation & design

Lit stair treads, linear LED in the ceiling, glowing cabinet shelves, cove light washing a feature wall, a chandelier hung true over the table: this is the work in our photos. Indoors and out, we design and install lighting with smart dimming and controls built in.

  • Recessed and linear LED lighting
  • Stair, cabinet, cove and accent lighting
  • Chandeliers and pendants
  • Outdoor security and landscape lighting
  • Smart dimming and controls
Ask about lighting installation & design

Ceiling fan installation

We install ceiling fans on fan-rated boxes and supports, replace light fixtures with fans, and add wall controls so the fan and light work separately.

  • Fan-rated box and bracing
  • Fixture-to-fan swaps
  • Separate fan and light controls
Ask about ceiling fan installation

Home automation

Smart switches and dimmers, lighting scenes, and connected controls that make the house easier to live in. We wire it so it works, and so it still works as a normal switch when the Wi-Fi doesn’t.

  • Smart switches and dimmers
  • Lighting scenes and schedules
  • Neutral wiring where smart devices need it
Ask about home automation
04

Home essentials & safety

Everyday electrical work, done to the same standard as the big jobs.

Outlets, GFCI & switches

New outlets where you need them, GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, garages and outdoors, USB and dedicated circuits, and switch and dimmer upgrades.

  • GFCI protection where code calls for it
  • Added outlets and dedicated circuits
  • Switch, dimmer and USB device upgrades
Ask about outlets, gfci & switches

Smoke & CO detectors

Hardwired, interconnected smoke and carbon monoxide alarms, so when one sounds they all do. Useful for renovations, additions and the alarm requirements that come with selling a home in New Jersey.

  • Hardwired and interconnected alarms
  • Combination smoke/CO units
  • Help with resale certificate requirements
Ask about smoke & co detectors

Electrical inspections

Buying an older home, finishing a basement or just wondering what’s behind the walls? An inspection walks the panel, wiring, grounding and devices and tells you plainly what’s safe, what’s worn and what needs attention.

  • Panel, wiring and grounding review
  • Plain-language findings
  • Clear quote for anything that needs work
Ask about electrical inspections
