"It was done by Mike Stapleford in the time and manner of a professional electrician with 30 years experience. He cleaned up after himself and was very pleasant. His charge was too low, and I increased the payment to amore reasonable amount. The following day, I gave his name and phone number at my company for use for future work there. I highly recommend Stapleford Electric."

"I hired Brett, the owner of Bright Electrical Solutions, to address an issue with a breaker that kept tripping. He replaced the breaker and also replaced one of the outlets with a GFCI reset outlet. Brett was professional from beginning to end. He was punctual and took the time to clearly explain to my husband and me what he replaced and why. Because of the excellent service we received, I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends if they ever need an electrician. We now have an electrician we trust, and I will be seeing him again in two to three weeks to replace our ceiling fans.. Andrea E."

"Steve was quick to contact me and was able to get ready for the job after some pictures and a phone conversation. He and his team arrived at my house on time prepared for the job. They were very considerate of my floors (which they kept clean) and didn't waste any time. They installed a new electrical outlet outside for my hot tub with extra space for my outdoor tv projector. I would recommend Steve to figure it out and get the job done efficiently with a reasonable price!!"

"William, the owner, his son, as well as another other gentleman and lady on their crew were super courteous and professional from the moment they pulled up to our home! They answered all of our questions and did a superb installation! We have been struck by lightning twice in five weeks and suffered close $15,000 in damages. We simply cannot continue to change our tv’s, a/v equipment and any other electrical component everytime we have a severe thunderstorm-which has been every afternoon for what seems like months. We spoke with other neighbors who’ve already installed lightning rods and none of them have had any other property damage. WB even sunk a third ground rod in because our Lanai screen enclosure had never been grounded. Awesome job, really nice people and hopefully this will do the trick. Bernard B"

Electrical FAQs, answered by experts

Before starting electrical work in Newark, review your project’s scope to determine if it involves panel upgrades, new circuits, or exterior wiring, as these usually require permits and inspections. Plan ahead for permit approval, which can take several days. If your project affects the service entrance, coordinate with the local utility. Always mark underground lines before digging and confirm your plans meet Newark’s current electrical code.

Helpful?

Your Newark home is likely ready for electrical upgrades if it was built before 1960, has outdated knob-and-tube wiring, or uses a fuse box instead of breakers. Signs like flickering lights, frequent tripped breakers, or two-prong outlets indicate aging systems. If you’re adding high-demand appliances, need more GFCI outlets, or want to support home automation, it’s a great time to consider an electrical update.

Helpful?

Newark homeowners should factor in the age and layout of their property, especially in areas like College Park or Devon, where older wiring is common. Historic district homes may require extra approvals. Newark’s humid summers and frequent storms make surge protection and weatherproofing essential. If your property shares utility easements or is near student housing, anticipate possible access restrictions or additional safety requirements during the project.

Helpful?

For a smooth electrical project in Newark, select a contractor with proven experience in local neighborhoods and knowledge of Newark’s older housing stock. Obtain at least three detailed quotes and check contractor availability around university move-in periods to avoid scheduling conflicts. Ensure clear access to electrical panels and plan for parking in tight areas. Notify your utility provider in advance if your project requires a temporary power shutdown.

Helpful?

When comparing Newark electricians, be wary of those who skip permits, lack proof of insurance, or hesitate to provide references from local clients. Watch for vague quotes that don’t separate labor and materials, unusually low bids, or requests for full payment upfront. Avoid contractors who rush you to sign, don’t inspect your system first, or suggest ignoring code requirements. Choose professionals who clearly outline their process and understand Newark’s unique electrical needs.
