Much of Bergen County was built before 1960: colonials, capes, two-family houses and brick apartment buildings with plaster walls. For an electrician that usually means 60 or 100 amp service, a mix of old cloth-covered cable and newer wire, and panels that were never meant to carry central air, an induction range and a car charger at the same time. We see it every week around Rutherford and we plan the work around it.

Switch and dimmer installation in Rutherford: common questions

Why is my dimmer warm?

Slightly warm is normal. Hot means it is overloaded or failing, and it should be replaced.

Can any light be put on a dimmer?

Most can, if the bulbs or fixtures are dimmable and the dimmer suits them.

Do smart switches need a neutral wire?

Most do. We check your boxes and recommend a model that fits your wiring.

Do you cover all of Rutherford?

Yes. We work throughout Rutherford and Bergen County, including ZIP code 07070.

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.

What customers say

Eight recessed lights in a finished ceiling and not one patch needed. They laid out the spacing with me first, and the dimmer does not flicker. The kitchen looks twice the size.
Linda W., Freehold

Salt air had eaten our outdoor outlets and the meter box. They replaced everything with gear made for the shore and checked the rest of the service while they were here.
Mike T., Atlantic City

They put a sub panel in my detached garage with 240 volts for the compressor and welder. Trenched, wired and inspected inside a week.
