"I highly recommend First Class Electric. I called this morning and by 10 am Joey the technician was calling me confirming he was on his way. The operator who made the appointment was very friendly and helpful. The technician Joey was very knowledgeable and friendly. He is an asset to your company! He understood what needed to be done and explained his plan. He made sure I was satisfied and answered every question. I will definitely use this company again but I want Joey to be the technician. Thank You!!!"

"My experience with Apollo Electric was wonderful. I needed some normal electrical work done, and also some detailed more involved work. He handled everything with care as if it was his own home. He was very detailed oriented, neat, clean and very honest. Mike worked hard during the entirety of the job, I was very pleased and I would call him for any job I need involving electrical work for the future"

Electrical questions, answered by experts

Upgrading electrical systems in Edison improves safety by reducing fire and shock hazards, especially in older homes. Adding outlets and surge protection increases convenience and protects electronics during storms. Energy-efficient lighting and appliances help lower utility bills, while modern panels support smart home features. These improvements not only boost comfort but also enhance property value and ensure compliance with current Edison codes.

Helpful?

In Edison, you can safely replace light switches, outlets, or install fixtures if you shut off power at the breaker and confirm with a voltage tester. Use insulated tools and never work in damp areas. If you notice sparking, burning odors, or need to add circuits, stop and call a licensed electrician. Most electrical work requires permits, so always check local rules before starting.

Helpful?

For electrical work in Edison, copper wiring is preferred for reliability, and THWN-2 wire is ideal for areas exposed to moisture or heat. Use NM-B cable for interior home wiring and install GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages. Choose service panels rated for local electrical loads, and consider whole-house surge protection and AFCI breakers to address Edison’s frequent power fluctuations and storm risks.

Helpful?

Edison has residential electricians for home rewiring, panel upgrades, and outlet installation, while commercial electricians handle larger business projects. Some contractors specialize in generator setups, solar panel systems, or smart home automation. Emergency electricians are available for outages or hazards, which is important during Edison’s storm season. Always verify that your contractor is properly licensed and insured for electrical safety.

Helpful?

Homes in Edison built before 1960, or those with knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, often need electrical upgrades to meet current safety standards. Warning signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, warm or discolored outlets, and reliance on extension cords. Upgrading ensures compliance with local codes, especially for GFCI protection and surge safety, which are crucial given Edison’s frequent storms and older housing stock.
