60 amp service upgrade in Jersey City
Most fuse boxes are tied to 60 amp service, so replacing one normally means upgrading the service too: new meter socket, new service cable, new breaker panel, and proper grounding. We separate overloaded circuits while we are in there, so the new breakers are not doing the work of fuses that were the wrong size.

Fuse box replacement in Jersey City: common questions
Are fuse boxes dangerous?
A fuse box in good condition with the right fuses is not dangerous in itself. The trouble is age, overfusing and having too few circuits for a modern house.
Will my insurance company require replacement?
Many insurers ask about fuse panels and some will not write a policy until they are replaced. Check with yours.
Does all the wiring have to be replaced too?
Not necessarily. We check the condition of the circuits and tell you what can stay.
Do you cover all of Jersey City?
Yes. We work throughout Jersey City and Hudson County, including ZIP codes 07302, 07304, 07305, 07306, 07307, 07310 and others, from Journal Square to the West Side.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Jersey City?
New circuits, panel changes and service work generally need a permit from the local construction office. Simple like-for-like replacements usually do not. We tell you when your job needs one.
