What Makes Us Watchung’s #1 Electrical Contractor?
**1. Safety First, Always
According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), faulty wiring causes 51,000+ home fires annually. Many are preventable with proper maintenance.
Our licensed electricians don’t cut corners. Every installation, repair, or inspection follows:
✔ NEC guidelines
✔ OSHA safety protocols
✔ Watchung Township building codes
**2. Future-Proof Electrical Solutions
Watchung homes average 40+ years old (U.S. Census data), meaning many still rely on outdated knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring—a known fire hazard.
We specialize in:
✔ Full-home rewiring (Upgrading to safer copper wiring)
✔ 200-amp panel upgrades (Essential for modern power demands)
✔ AFCI/GFCI outlet installation (Preventing shocks and fires)
**3. Energy Efficiency That Saves You Money
New Jersey’s electricity rates rose 12% last year (U.S. Energy Information Administration). Our energy-saving solutions help combat costs:
✔ LED lighting retrofits (Uses 75% less energy than incandescent)
✔ Smart thermostats (Cut HVAC costs by 10-15%)
✔ Solar-ready electrical panels (Preparing homes for renewable energy)

Did You Know? Watchung’s Electrical Needs Are Unique
Watchung isn’t just any New Jersey town—it’s a historic, wooded community with unique electrical challenges:
Tree-Covered Lots – Beautiful, but falling branches can damage outdoor wiring. We install weatherproof conduits for protection.
Older Home Stock – Many homes built before 1980 need updated grounding systems for safety.
⚡ Increasing Power Demands – With more EVs and home offices, 200-amp service is now essential (up from old 100-amp standards).
We understand these local factors better than anyone—because we live and work here too.
