"I had an electrical issue in my kitchen and the power to main floor went out. I ended up having a back switch that needed to be replaced. I was quickly contacted to understand the issue, and DLP Electric was willing to come out today, however I had already just hired a technician from another company to handle (right before I spoke to DLP). Having said that, DLP Electric was professional and very helpful, and I would hire them if I ever needed electric work performed in my house. Great customer service and very responsive."

Burton Electric was started to better serve this community. I have over 20 years of experience working right here in Passaic County and parts of Bergen County. My goal is to provide the best possible service at the best price. All of my pricing is up front and there will never be any surprises or wasted time on your job. I offer a one year warranty on parts and labor (excluding lamps)

"Not often I had come by a professional that is honest, reliable, responsive with fair pricing. Burton Electric has been the fourth electrician I have had making major repairs and installations in the two houses we owned in New Jersey and by far has been the best. Dave was punctual, worked very clean and was flexible adjusting and making changes as the work proceeded. He was attentive to my concern not to exceed my budget. Rarely a contractor will be encouraging saying "we can have 4 lights in this room and if it is not enough I will add more, but I think it will be enough." Saved me a couple of hundred dollars and was not tight with every little item he installed like a new and nicer plate here and there, and even replaced an old outlet and did not charge me. His estimate was the best of the other 5 contractors. Kudos Burton Electric. Highly recommended."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

No, you cannot plug a generator directly into a wall outlet in your home. Plugging in a generator without an interlocking kit, extension cord, or wall outlet receptacle is incredibly dangerous and can cause back-feeding—power from the generator back-feeds into utility lines. Also, if the main power comes back on while your generator is on, it could damage the generator and cause a house fire.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

As long as your generator is used as recommended by the manufacturer, it’s safe to use for auxiliary power. Make sure that fuel powered generators are used outdoors and that the fumes dissipate away from your home. A professional generator installer will ensure your generator’s placement and set-up meets safety standards when installing or repairing your back-up power source.

A whole house generator can be worth the extra money for peace of mind if your home is prone to power outages for extended periods of time or if you have life-saving medical equipment that needs to maintain power at all times. These devices can also increase your home’s value, especially in areas prone to extreme weather and power outages.

No, this is extremely dangerous, often illegal, and you should never attempt it. If you connect your generator to your home without a transfer switch, the generated power can backfeed, essentially flowing back into the utility lines. Backfeeding exposes a significant threat of fatalities or harm to you and utility personnel, in addition to jeopardizing the structural integrity of your home.
