Newark’s housing stock is significantly older than most of the towns we serve, with large sections of the Ironbound, Weequahic, and Vailsburg neighborhoods built in the early-to-mid 20th century. Many of these homes still have original wiring, undersized panels, or later aluminum wiring retrofits that don’t meet the demands of modern appliances, air conditioning, and home electronics. Our technicians regularly work in these older homes, safely rewiring rooms, upgrading panels, and correcting outdated electrical setups without unnecessary demolition or cost. All electrical work in Newark requires a permit through the city’s Building Division, part of the Office of Uniform Construction Code, located at 920 Mayor Kenneth A. Gibson Blvd. Newark is served by PSE&G for electric utility service, and any panel or service upgrade must be coordinated with PSE&G. Because so much of Newark’s housing predates modern electrical code, thorough troubleshooting before any rewiring decision is critical — it’s often the difference between a targeted repair and an unnecessarily expensive full rewire.
