Middletown Township Electrical Company handles residential and commercial electrical work across Middletown Township and the surrounding communities of Monmouth County, New Jersey. From a single dead outlet to a full panel replacement, from new construction wiring to a whole-home rewire, we cover the full range of electrical work that homeowners, landlords, and commercial property managers need. Residential wiring. Commercial wiring. One number for both.
Calling an electrician doesn't have to be stressful, and knowing what we cover before you pick up the phone makes the call easier. We handle electrical repairs and troubleshooting, breaker panel replacements and service upgrades, outlet and switch installation, indoor and outdoor lighting, ceiling fans, wiring and rewiring, dedicated circuits for major appliances, EV charger installation, backup generator hookups, whole-home surge protection, and electrical safety inspections.
That list covers most of what comes up in a typical home or commercial building. Whether the job is a single outlet that stopped working or a panel that needs to be replaced before a kitchen renovation can move forward, we scope it on the call and give you a price before anything is scheduled. The wiring done properly, start to finish, is what every job comes down to. Leave the breakers to us.
Don't let a small wiring issue turn into a fire risk, because the symptom you can see is often not the whole story. A dead outlet might trace back to a tripped GFCI elsewhere in the circuit. Flickering lights can point to a loose connection in the panel, a failing breaker, or a wiring problem inside the wall. A breaker that trips repeatedly and won't hold is telling you something about the load on that circuit, and a burning smell from an outlet or panel is a signal to call without delay.
A diagnostic visit covers the visible symptoms and the wiring behind them. We check the outlet, the circuit, the breaker, and the panel connections, and we tell you what we find before any repair work starts. That way you know what the problem is, what fixing it involves, and what it will cost. Call and we'll get the current flowing right.
For residential and commercial electrical work alike, the panel is where most of the important decisions happen. A panel that was sized for a house built decades ago was not designed to carry the load of a modern kitchen, a home office, an EV charger, and central air on the same service. When the demand grows, the panel has to keep up.
We handle breaker panel replacement, 200-amp service upgrades, fuse box replacement, subpanel installation, and service entrance work. A load calculation tells us whether the existing service can carry what you are adding or whether an upgrade is the right call first. An older panel is worth a look before a big appliance goes in. We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test, so you know exactly what the panel work involves and what it changes about the capacity of the service.
Middletown Township has a wide range of housing, from post-war ranches and split-levels to colonials built in the 1960s and 1970s through to newer construction in the developments that went up later. The older the home, the more likely the panel and the wiring reflect the standards of the era they were built in.
Fuse boxes, 60-amp or 100-amp services, and ungrounded two-prong outlets are common in homes from the mid-twentieth century. Knob-and-tube wiring turns up in the oldest properties, and aluminum branch-circuit wiring was used widely in the late 1960s and early 1970s before its limitations became clear. None of these are automatic emergencies, but each one changes what a wiring project involves and what needs to be addressed before new circuits or appliances are added. When we scope a job in an older home, we look at what is there before we quote what needs to change.
A whole-home rewire is a significant project, but it is not always the whole answer. Sometimes the right approach is targeted: replacing the knob-and-tube in a specific area, remediating aluminum wiring at the connections and outlets where it matters most, or adding GFCI and AFCI protection to circuits that were never required to have it.
GFCI protection is required by code in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoor circuits. AFCI protection, which detects arc faults before they can cause a fire, is now required on most bedroom circuits in new work and is a practical upgrade in older homes where the wiring has never been touched. We walk through what the code requires for the work being done, what the inspection will look at, and what the project involves from start to finish. We show up ready to work.
Your time matters, so we keep the wiring job moving, whether the scope is a single outlet or a full room of recessed lighting. Outlet installation covers standard 15- and 20-amp receptacles, GFCI and AFCI outlets, USB outlets, and 240-volt receptacles for appliances that need a dedicated circuit. Switch work covers standard switches, three-way switches, and dimmer switches for compatible fixtures.
Lighting installation covers recessed LED fixtures, under-cabinet lighting, ceiling light and fixture replacement, and ceiling fan installation. A ceiling fan swap is straightforward when the existing box is rated for a fan. When it is not, we handle the box replacement as part of the job. We protect your floors and finishes while we work, and the space is left clean when we are done. We'll sort the wiring and clean up after.
Exterior lighting serves more than one purpose. Security lighting at entry points and along the perimeter of a property deters unwanted access and makes the property safer to navigate at night. Landscape lighting adds definition to the property and extends the usable hours of an outdoor space.
We handle exterior lighting installation, security lighting, landscape lighting circuits, outdoor outlet installation, and garage electrical wiring. Outdoor work follows the same approach as indoor: the scope is confirmed on the call, the price is set before the work starts, and the installation meets code for outdoor-rated circuits and weatherproof fittings.
Some equipment draws enough current that sharing a circuit with other loads causes problems. A refrigerator, a dishwasher, a microwave, a washing machine, a dryer, an electric range, and a sump pump all benefit from a dedicated circuit, and most of them require one under current code.
EV charger installation at the residential level means running a dedicated 240-volt circuit from the panel to the garage or driveway, installing the outlet or hardwired connection the charger requires, and confirming the panel has the capacity to carry the added load. If it does not, the panel upgrade and the charger circuit are scoped together.
Generator hookups involve installing a transfer switch that safely disconnects the home from the utility grid before the generator comes online. That separation is what makes the generator safe to operate. We handle the transfer switch installation and the wiring to the circuits the generator will feed. Whole-home surge protection is a separate installation at the panel, protecting connected equipment from voltage spikes that come in through the service entrance. No guesswork. No shortcuts. No loose ends.
The scope and the price are settled on the call before anything is scheduled. When you describe what is happening, we ask the questions that let us give you a useful number rather than a range wide enough to mean nothing. You know what the job involves, what it will cost, and what the visit will cover before we confirm a time.
The same number you call to book the job is the number to call if anything comes up afterward. There is nothing to sort out through a separate process.
You shouldn't have to chase an electrician for answers, especially when the electrical issue is in a commercial space where downtime has a cost. We handle commercial wiring, panel upgrades, commercial lighting installation, dedicated circuits for equipment, outlet and switch work in commercial spaces, and electrical work for renovations and build-outs.
The property types we work in include offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and multi-unit buildings. A property manager overseeing multiple units across Monmouth County needs one number that covers both the tenant call and the building-side work. We handle both without a separate dispatch for each.
A home electrical inspection is a practical step for anyone buying or selling an older property, for landlords who have not had the wiring reviewed in some time, and for homeowners who want to know what condition the system is in before starting a renovation.
An inspection covers the panel, the grounding and bonding, the visible wiring, the outlets, the GFCI and AFCI protection, and any obvious code concerns. What we find is documented and explained. If the inspection turns up work that needs doing, we can scope and price it on the same call.
The price for a job is confirmed before anyone is scheduled. When you call, we ask about the work, scope it based on what you describe, and give you a number that covers what the visit involves. If the job turns out to be more involved than the description suggested, we tell you before we proceed, not after.
There is no separate process for getting the estimate and a different one for booking the work. One call covers both. We show up ready to work.
We take calls from across Middletown Township and the surrounding areas of Monmouth County, including Red Bank, Keansburg, Hazlet, Keyport, Holmdel, Lincroft, and Atlantic Highlands. Whether the property is in the township itself or in one of the neighboring towns, the process is the same: call, describe the job, get a price, and schedule.
If you are not sure whether your address falls within the area we cover, the call will tell you. We are straightforward about where we work.
Protecting the home while we work is part of how we approach every job. We take care around finished floors, walls, and trim, and we clean up the work area before we leave. If the job involves fishing wire through finished walls or working in a finished room, we explain what the process involves before we start.
We keep you informed from diagnosis to final test. That means telling you what we found during the diagnostic, what the repair or installation involves, and what the result of the final check shows. If something comes up mid-job that changes the scope, we tell you before we proceed.
The work meets current code, the wiring is done cleanly from start to finish, and the final test confirms everything is functioning correctly. For panel work, that means the load is balanced and the service is sized for what the property draws. For repairs, it means the root cause is addressed, not just the symptom.
Older homes are a regular part of the work we do in this area. The housing stock in Middletown Township and across Monmouth County includes a wide range of construction eras, and the electrical systems inside reflect that. Knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch wiring, fuse boxes, and ungrounded two-prong outlets all come up in the older properties we work in.
When you call, we scope the job, give you a price, and confirm the appointment details before the call ends. You know the date, the scope, and the cost before anything is scheduled. If anything changes on our end before the visit, you will hear from us.

If a question comes up after the job, call back and it gets worked through until the situation is resolved. The same number you called to book the job is the number to call if a question comes up afterward.
Some jobs are completed in a single visit, and others require a follow-up, particularly when materials need to be ordered or when a permit inspection is part of the process. We tell you on the call whether the job is likely to run in one visit or two, and we confirm the follow-up appointment before we leave the first one.
