Welcome to our profile. Integrated Electrical Solutions is a full service electrical house. We do great work, at a fair price. Our pricing is very simple: we charge a $175 service fee, and $150 per hour for Lead Electricians, $115 per hour for Second Electricians, and $85 to $95 per hour for Helpers. , plus parts for electrical, drain work and appliances. We service all brands of portable and stand by generators. Work before 6 am as well as night after 6pm, weekends and holidays is subject to additional charges. We normally charge $125 to clean dryer vents and that's it. We provide outstanding, well equipped mechanics, who know their jobs. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR- TOP SHELF FIVE START SERVICE. Integrated Electrical Solutions is a fully licensed and fully insured electrical company. We do emergency work 24/7, 365. When you want the best and you want it done right the first time, call us. thank you!

"The experience was not quite what I expected. I had clearly explained the scope—replacing 10-12 standard switches with smart switches giving model number/spec—and was hoping for a lump sum proposal, but they only offered hourly rates, which is understandable. They estimated it would take about 2 hours, but the job ended up taking over 4. While they mentioned having done similar installations before, they spent quite a bit of time reviewing instructions on site, which added to the time and cost. The final bill was over $800 for a couple switches, including a service fee and $10 for wire connector? (The switches come with connector) Just a heads-up to others: be sure to ask detailed questions about hourly charges and how time will be managed, especially for smart device installations."

"Started out roughly as owner got lost ending up arriving an hour after appointment time. Asked to have one fire alarm on a very high ceiling moved down to a more manageable height for future access. He did this in the wrong room, so had to do this in a second room. Thankfully he did not charge me for that error, only charging for the correct room. He did repair the walls that were cut open to move the alarm units but still need repainting. Previous alarm installation was done incorrectly, I was not aware. Owner installed two fire alarms that blew out when installed before the incorrect wiring was identified. I was disappointed that a professional electrician would not have identified the incorrect wiring before the new units were damaged. As no additional alarms were available at this time he reinstalled the original alarms that were both chirpping when he left. I later had to purchase additional units and install myself. The new plug outlet was installed satisfactorily, but later found out that the front of the electrical panel was removed and not replaced before he left. Two ceiling lights were replaced satisfactorily. However, he complained that one had snap on plastic crystals that needed to be attached to the ceiling unit as he considered that to be a "specialty" fixture installation, with additional charges. To avoid further charges I volunteered to attach the crystals myself. All this cost me $850, while I was left with purchase and installation of two fire alarms, attachment of the electrical panel front, and delaying the installation of a replacement exterior garage light to a later date. Would not hire again, and felt overcharged."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

In Jersey City, consider the prevalence of row homes and limited outdoor space, which can affect standby generator placement and access for installation. Pay attention to local noise ordinances and required setbacks, especially in densely populated neighborhoods like Journal Square. High humidity and salt air from the Hudson River can impact equipment longevity, so select corrosion-resistant models. Always confirm HOA guidelines and secure necessary permits before starting your project.

Helpful?

In Jersey City, unexpected costs often arise from upgrading outdated electrical panels, extending gas lines in older neighborhoods, or addressing difficult access in tight urban lots. Excavation may reveal old foundations or utility lines common in historic districts. Additional expenses can include meeting strict noise mitigation requirements, restoring landscaping after installation, and scheduling follow-up inspections for code compliance. Annual maintenance is also essential for long-term generator performance.

Helpful?

For Jersey City installations, opt for standby generators with weatherproof, corrosion-resistant enclosures to withstand riverfront humidity. Use marine-grade wiring and stainless steel hardware for durability. Install an elevated, reinforced concrete pad to prevent water damage in flood-prone zones. Flexible gas lines and automatic transfer switches compatible with your panel ensure reliable emergency power. Vibration-dampening mounts and proper grounding materials help minimize noise and enhance safety.

Helpful?

New homeowners in Jersey City should begin with a professional assessment of their electrical system, as many historic homes require panel upgrades for safe generator integration. Identify critical circuits—such as refrigeration, heating, and elevators in multi-unit buildings—for emergency power coverage. Plan for proper generator siting to meet local codes, and ensure gas line access if choosing a natural gas standby generator. Secure permits and schedule inspections before activating the system.

Helpful?

Installing a generator in Jersey City offers immediate emergency power during outages, keeping essentials like sump pumps and medical devices running. Over time, a backup power system can boost your property’s value, attract renters in multi-family buildings, and may support home-based businesses. Reliable power also helps prevent costly flood damage in basement-prone areas and can make your home more resilient as severe weather becomes more common.
