Services Our Electrician in Chatham Offers
Troubleshooting and Repairs
Dead outlets, breakers that keep tripping, flickering lights, or a switch that feels warm. In older borough homes the cause is often in a different room than the problem, and we track it down instead of guessing. The service call is $189.99, troubleshooting past the panel starts at $239.99, and bigger jobs get a flat price before we start.
Service Upgrades and Panel Work
Many older Chatham houses still run on the panel they were built with, now feeding a new kitchen and central air. We handle electric panel upgrades, meter replacement and extra panels for additions and garages, sized for how you live today. Surge protection goes in with every panel we install.
Home EV Charger Wiring
Whether you park off a borough side street or at the end of a long township driveway, we can get a Level 2 charger where you need it, for any major brand. We check that the panel can carry it, file the permit and meet the inspector. While we are there we can also swap kitchen, bath and outdoor GFCI outlets and put in hardwired smoke detector and carbon monoxide alarms.
Lighting, Fixtures and New Wiring
Indoor and outdoor lighting, ceiling fans, weatherproof outdoor outlets and new wiring for finished attics, home offices and garages. In older Chatham homes we run new wiring through the walls with as few openings in the plaster as we can.
Quick Response and Emergency Repairs
Sparking, burning smells, or half the house suddenly dark. Call our Chatham office any hour, including nights, weekends and holidays. An after-hours emergency call is a flat $389.99, and since our office is in town, Chatham is close to home for us.
Generator Installation
Big storms have left parts of the Chathams without power for days. We size, install and test standby generators with the transfer switch included. As an authorized Generac installer, a Generac automatic standby unit is the one we put in most, and it turns on by itself when JCP&L power drops.

Lighting Work We Do in Chatham
Light Fixtures
Old ceiling boxes in older Chatham homes were not made for today’s heavier fixtures. We replace the fixture, fix the mount behind it and add light to rooms that only ever had a lamp. For bright, even light without bulky fixtures, see our recessed lighting installation prices.
Chandeliers
Two-story foyers in township colonials and dining rooms in borough homes. We brace the ceiling for the weight and bring two people and the right ladder for tall ceilings.
Outdoor Lighting
Path lights along the front walk, lanterns by the door, floodlights over the driveway and soft lighting in the yard. Outdoor parts are weatherproof and the circuit is GFCI protected.
Pendant Lights
Over a new kitchen island or a breakfast table, we hang pendants at a height that clears heads and lines up with the counter below.
“They upgraded our electrics which involved upgrading the outside and inside electric circuits/boxes. They were reliable, great with communication, neat and very professional overall. They also went above and beyond to sort out some other things for us while they were here. Thank you so much!”
Why Chatham Homeowners Choose Us as Their Electrician
If you searched for an electrician near me in Chatham, our office is right on Main Street. Chatham is really two towns: the borough has older homes on tree-lined streets near downtown and the train station, and the township spreads out toward the Great Swamp with bigger lots and more woods.
pre-War Borough Housing
Some borough homes go back to the 1800s. We often find two-prong outlets, old fuse boxes and wiring that each owner added onto a little more.
Additions That Outgrew the Panel
A bigger kitchen, a third-floor bedroom or a basement build-out can push an old service past its limit. We check the load before the walls close up.
Tree Cover and Storm Outages
Tall trees line both sides of town, and one falling limb can take down the line to your house. Generator hookups and standby units are common requests here.
EV and Home Office Circuits
Whether you drive to work or ride the train from Chatham station, a home car charger and a solid home office circuit both start with a look at your panel.

Our Process on Every Chatham Job
1. Assessment
We start at the panel, test the circuit that is acting up and find the cause. Then you get one flat price before any work begins.
2. Clear Recommendations
We tell you what needs fixing today and what can wait for a later visit, and why, so nothing feels like an upsell.
3. The Work
Our own crew does the work. We cover floors, keep dust down in finished rooms and leave the house the way we found it.
4. Final Safety Check
We test and label every circuit, set up the inspection with the right office, and walk you through what changed before we leave.

Questions We Get From Chatham Homeowners
Local Permits and Power in Chatham
In the borough, construction permits are issued by the Madison Building Department, which handles them for Chatham Borough; zoning still goes through Chatham Borough at 54 Fairmount Avenue (973-635-0674). The township runs its own construction office at 58 Meyersville Road (973-635-4600). JCP&L is the power company for both. If your home is in the Main Street Historic District, a change that shows on the outside, like a new meter, may need a look from the Historic Preservation Commission.
Quick Answers
What does an electrician charge for a service call in Chatham?
For a Chatham home, start with the $189.99 service call: we make sure power is reaching your home and your breaker panel the right way. If the problem is further in, troubleshooting is priced by how far it goes, from $239.99 for one spot to $479.99 for a circuit that runs through several rooms. Standard outlets, switches or breakers are $89.99 each. After-hours emergency calls are $389.99.
How much does a panel upgrade cost in Chatham?
Most panel upgrades fall between $2,000 and $7,000. Where yours lands depends on the size of the new service, whether the meter and outside hookup need replacing, permit fees in the borough or township, and anything the inspector asks us to fix. Surge protection is included. You get a written price after we open the panel.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Chatham?
Yes for panels, new circuits and EV chargers. For Chatham Borough homes the Madison Building Department issues construction permits, and Chatham Township runs its own office on Meyersville Road. We file with the right one and meet the inspector when the job is done.
Do you serve towns outside Chatham?
Yes. Our Chatham office on Main Street also covers Madison, Florham Park, Summit, New Providence and nearby towns. If yours is not listed on this page, call (908) 493-9223 and ask.

How do I reset a GFCI outlet?
Press the reset button firmly until it clicks. If it won’t reset, check for a tripped breaker, then look for another GFCI nearby, often in a bathroom, garage or outside. If it trips again right away, something on that circuit may be wet or damaged. Call an electrician. GFCI won’t reset?
