Don't let a small wiring issue turn into a fire risk, because what looks minor at the outlet can point to something more serious behind the wall. Dead outlets, breakers that trip repeatedly, flickering lights, a burning smell near a receptacle, sparking outlets, or partial power loss throughout the house are all symptoms that need a structured diagnosis, not a guess.
We work through the problem from the source. That means checking the panel, tracing the circuit, testing for ground faults and arc faults, and verifying that GFCI and AFCI protection is functioning correctly where the code requires it. Grounding and bonding get checked as part of the diagnostic process, not as an afterthought.
We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test, so you know what was found, what it means, and what the repair involves before any work begins. The price is confirmed on the call before we schedule anything. Leave the breakers to us.
For residential and commercial electrical work alike, the panel is where capacity problems show up first. An older home running on a 100-amp service, a property that has added square footage, a garage converted to living space, or a business adding equipment loads are all situations where the existing panel can no longer keep up.
We handle 100-amp to 200-amp upgrades, main panel replacements, and subpanel installation for detached structures or added loads. A load calculation is part of the scoping process so the new panel is sized for what the property actually draws, including any EV charger circuits or large appliances being added. Service-entrance and meter upgrades are handled as part of the same project when the utility requires it.
The wiring done properly, start to finish, is the standard we work to on every panel job. Call and we'll get the current flowing right.
Calling an electrician doesn't have to be stressful, and for installation work especially, the job is usually more straightforward than homeowners expect. We handle outlets, switches, lighting fixtures, and ceiling fans for residential and commercial properties.
For outlets, that includes standard receptacles, GFCI outlets for kitchens, bathrooms, and exterior locations, AFCI-protected circuits, USB outlets, outdoor weatherproof outlets, and 240-volt outlets for larger appliances. Switch work covers standard replacements, three-way switches, and dimmer installations.
Lighting installs run from recessed LED retrofits and under-cabinet lighting to chandelier installation, exterior security lighting, landscape lighting, and motion sensor lights. For commercial properties, we handle lighting installation and upgrades as part of broader electrical work. Ceiling fan installation includes new installs where no existing wiring or ceiling box is in place, not just swapping a fixture.
We protect your floors and finishes while we work, which matters when the job is inside a finished room. We show up ready to work.
Your time matters, so we keep the wiring job moving, whether that means rewiring a single floor of an older home or running new circuits for a basement build-out or garage conversion. Whole-home rewiring for properties with outdated wiring, wiring for home additions, and new circuits for finished basements are all jobs we take on regularly in this area.
Dedicated circuits are often the right answer when a single appliance is tripping breakers or a new load is being added. Kitchen appliances, electric ranges, laundry machines, electric dryers, and workshop equipment all benefit from a circuit that is not shared with other loads. A 240-volt outlet for a dryer or range is part of the same scope.
All wiring work is done to current code requirements, including hardwired smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors where the project requires them. We'll sort the wiring and clean up after.
Monmouth County's housing stock includes a significant number of pre-1970s homes, and the electrical systems in those properties reflect it. Working here means getting the diagnosis right before the work starts, because the age of a home changes what we are likely to find inside the walls.
Knob-and-tube wiring was standard construction practice through the mid-twentieth century. It lacks a ground conductor, was never designed for the electrical loads a modern home carries, and deteriorates in ways that are not always visible from the outside. Aluminum branch wiring, common in homes built during the 1960s and 1970s, expands and contracts at connections in a way that copper does not, which creates loose connections and heat over time.
Both systems are common in older Middletown Township homes, and both require more than a spot repair. We assess the full scope, explain what replacement involves, and carry the work through to code-compliant wiring throughout the affected circuits or the whole home, depending on what the inspection finds.
New Jersey has one of the higher rates of EV adoption in the country, and Level 2 home charger installation is one of the more common jobs we schedule. A Level 2 charger runs on a 240-volt dedicated circuit, which means the work involves running the circuit from the panel, installing the correct outlet or hardwired connection, and confirming the panel has the capacity to carry the added load.
If the panel is already near its limit, a panel upgrade is part of the conversation before the charger goes in. We scope the full electrical side of the job on the call so there are no gaps between the charger and the panel when the work is done.
Nor'easters and ice storms knock out power across Monmouth County on a regular basis, and a standby generator is a practical response to that pattern. The electrical work involved centers on the transfer switch, which is what keeps generator power from feeding back into the utility line and what allows the home's circuits to switch over cleanly when the grid goes down.
We install transfer switches, run the dedicated circuits the generator requires, and connect the generator to the panel correctly. The scope of work depends on whether the generator is powering selected circuits or the whole house, and we confirm that on the call before scheduling.
You shouldn't have to chase an electrician for answers, and for surge protection and inspection work especially, a clear explanation of what is involved makes the decision easier.
Whole-home surge protection installs at the panel level and protects connected equipment throughout the property from voltage spikes caused by lightning, utility switching, or large appliances cycling on and off. A single-point surge protector at the panel covers every circuit in the home, which a power strip at the wall cannot do.
Electrical safety inspections cover the panel, branch circuit wiring, outlets, grounding and bonding, and any visible signs of wear or code issues. They are worth scheduling when buying an older home, after a renovation, or when a property has not had its wiring reviewed in a number of years. No guesswork. No shortcuts. No loose ends.
When you call for a quote, you get the price for the job before anything is scheduled. That covers the scope of the work and what is included, so you know what you are agreeing to before we set a time.
Customers ask about pricing most often for panel upgrades, whole-home rewiring, EV charger installs, outlet work, and ceiling fan installation. All of those are straightforward to quote once the job is scoped on the call.
We work across Middletown Township and the surrounding communities in Monmouth County, including Red Bank, Keansburg, Keyport, Aberdeen, Hazlet, Holmdel, and Atlantic Highlands. Residential and commercial properties throughout the area are part of our regular service territory.
If your address is in or around Middletown Township and you need electrical work handled, call and we will confirm coverage when you reach us.
Yes, we cover both. Homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business owners across Middletown Township and Monmouth County all call us for the same range of work: repairs, panel upgrades, wiring, outlets, lighting, and larger projects. One call covers whatever the property needs, whether it is a single-family home or a commercial space.
We are available every day from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, including Saturdays and Sundays.
If a repair or installation comes up over the weekend, call (732) 399-4956 and we will scope the job and confirm availability on the call.
When you call, we ask about the job, scope it based on what you describe, and give you a price before anything is scheduled. You know what the work involves and what it costs before we confirm a time. There is no pressure to commit on the call.
A description of the symptom or the work you want done is enough to get started. For repairs, tell us what you are seeing: a breaker that keeps tripping, a dead outlet, flickering lights. For installations, tell us what you want added and where. We ask follow-up questions on the call to give you a useful number rather than a wide range.
Check your breaker panel first for any tripped breakers and reset them if you find one. If the breakers look normal but power is still out in part of the house, that can point to a loose connection, a failing breaker, or a problem at the service entrance.
Call us at (732) 399-4956 and we will help you figure out what to do next and get a visit scheduled.
Older homes make up a significant part of the housing stock in Middletown Township and across Monmouth County, and we work in them regularly. Knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch wiring, fuse boxes, and 60- or 100-amp services are all things we assess and address. We look at what is there before we quote what needs to change.
Yes. We handle electrical repairs and inspections for rental properties and multi-unit buildings throughout Middletown Township and the surrounding area. One call covers both the tenant-side repair and any building-side work that comes out of the visit.
The price is based on the scope of the work, not the square footage of the home. A panel upgrade is quoted based on the service size, the load calculation, and what the installation involves. We confirm all of that on the call before anything is scheduled.
Ask about deposit requirements when you call, and we will give you a straight answer for the specific job. Payment terms are part of the conversation when we scope the work and confirm the price, before anything is scheduled.
Clearing a path to the panel and the areas where work will happen helps the visit go smoothly. If furniture or stored items are blocking the panel or the outlets being worked on, moving them ahead of time saves time on the day of the visit. We will let you know on the call if there is anything specific to prepare.
Middletown Township Electrical Company is available for residential and commercial electrical work every day from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Whether the job is a repair that needs attention now or an upgrade you have been planning, we are ready to scope it and give you a price on the call.

| Service Type | Scope of Work | When You Need It | Good to Know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dedicated Appliance Circuits | Dryer and range circuits, Refrigerator and dishwasher circuits, Workshop and garage circuits, Shed and outbuilding power runs | Any major appliance that shares a circuit or causes other loads to drop when it cycles on | A dedicated circuit isolates the appliance from other loads so it draws what it needs without tripping breakers or affecting nearby outlets. |
| Basement & Sump-Pump Circuits | Dedicated sump-pump circuit installation, Basement outlet and lighting wiring, GFCI protection in wet locations, Backup power circuit for sump systems | Finished or unfinished basements, and any home where the sump pump shares a circuit with other loads | A sump pump on a shared circuit can lose power at exactly the wrong moment if the breaker trips under load from another appliance. |
| Wiring & Circuit Installation | Whole-home and partial rewiring, Basement and garage wiring, Home addition wiring, Knob-and-tube and aluminum wiring replacement | Older homes with deteriorated wiring, renovations that open walls, and new construction tie-ins | Homes in Monmouth County built before the 1970s frequently carry wiring systems that were not designed for modern electrical loads. |
| Code-Correction Wiring | Bringing circuits up to current code, Aluminum wiring remediation at connections, Grounding upgrades, AFCI and GFCI retrofits | Properties flagged during an inspection or sale, and older homes being renovated | Code corrections are scoped to the specific violations found, not applied as a blanket rewire unless the wiring condition requires it. |
| Breaker & Fuse Repair | Single breaker replacement, Fuse box diagnosis, Arc-fault and ground-fault breaker testing, Panel interior inspection | Homes where a breaker trips repeatedly or a fuse blows without an obvious overload | A breaker that won't hold after being reset is a fault condition, not a nuisance. It needs a diagnosis, not just a reset. |
| Whole-Home Surge Protection | Panel-level surge device installation, Full-system voltage spike protection, Protection for appliances and electronics | Homes with modern electronics, smart appliances, or a history of storm-related power events | A panel-mounted surge protector covers every circuit in the home in a single installation. It does not replace outlet-level surge strips but works alongside them. |
| Lighting Installation | Recessed and LED fixture installation, Exterior and security lighting, Motion sensor lights, Landscape lighting circuits | Interior upgrades, outdoor security, and any space where the existing fixtures are outdated or underpowered | Outdoor lighting circuits require weatherproof wiring and proper grounding. We handle both the fixture and the circuit. |
| Electrical Repairs & Troubleshooting | Dead outlets and switches, Breakers that trip or won't reset, Flickering or intermittent power, Burning smells and buzzing panels | Any home or business with an unexplained electrical symptom | We trace the fault from the outlet or fixture back to the panel before any parts are replaced. |
| Ceiling Fan Installation | Fan and fixture replacement, New wiring where no fan box exists, Switch and control wiring, Outdoor-rated fan installation | Rooms being updated or any space where no ceiling fan was previously installed | Installing a fan where no existing box is present requires running a new circuit or adding a rated fan box to the existing one. |
| Electrical Panel UpgradesMost Popular | 200-amp service upgrades, Full panel replacement, Subpanel installation, Load calculations before work begins | Homes adding major appliances, EV chargers, or generators, and any property still running an undersized or aging panel | Panel capacity is confirmed against the actual load the property carries before a replacement size is recommended. |
| Electrical Safety Inspections | Panel and wiring condition assessment, GFCI and AFCI testing, Grounding and bonding check, Pre-purchase inspection reporting | Home buyers, sellers, landlords, and any property where the wiring history is unknown | An inspection documents what is present and identifies what needs attention. It gives buyers and owners a clear picture before decisions are made. |
| Outlet & Switch Installation | GFCI and AFCI outlets, 240-volt and weatherproof outlets, Dimmer and three-way switches, USB-integrated receptacles | Rooms with too few outlets or outlets that no longer meet code for their location | GFCI protection is required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor locations. Older homes frequently lack it. |
