Voltus Energy Solutions is a New Jersey licensed electrical contractor serving Springfield in Union County, and most of our work here is on the town’s mid-century homes. The Capes, ranches, split-levels, and colonials of the 1950s and 60s were built to last, but they were wired for a very different household than today’s. We upgrade their panels and wiring cleanly, with minimal disruption and no damage to your finishes, and we add the circuits, chargers, and capacity a modern home needs.
Whether your Springfield home needs a 200-amp service upgrade, a rewire, an EV charger, or a standby generator, we bring it up to current, code-compliant standards.
What we do most often in Springfield
- Electrical panel and service upgrades: replacing 60- and 100-amp panels with 200-amp service on 1950s and 60s homes. See what a panel upgrade costs in NJ.
- Whole-home rewiring: for ungrounded or dated circuits in mid-century houses.
- EV charger installation: Level 2 chargers in the attached garages these homes were built with.
- Finished basements, additions, and remodels: new circuits, lighting, and service capacity for the projects owners take on.
- Troubleshooting and repair: breakers that keep tripping, warm outlets, and dead circuits.
Mid-century homes, modern loads
A 1959 Springfield ranch was not wired for central air, an EV, a finished basement, and today’s kitchen all at once. Most of our work here is closing that gap safely with a right-sized 200-amp service, grounded circuits, and clean, permitted wiring. Buying one of these homes? Our pre-purchase electrical inspection tells you what it will take to bring it current before you close.

Frequently asked questions
My Springfield home still has its original panel. Should I upgrade?
If it is a 60- or 100-amp panel, it is worth evaluating, especially before adding an EV charger, central air, or a basement. A 200-amp upgrade is the usual fix and is often required to pass inspection.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
It can be an overloaded circuit, a failing breaker, or a wiring fault. We diagnose the cause rather than just resetting it. Here is why breakers trip.
Can you wire a finished basement or an addition?
Yes. We handle the circuits, lighting, and any service upgrade the project needs, permitted and inspected.
Do you pull the Springfield permit?
Yes. We file the electrical permit through the Township Construction Office at 100 Mountain Avenue and schedule the inspections.
