Voltus Energy Solutions is a New Jersey licensed electrical contractor, and Verona keeps us working across a real range of homes. The town has an older core of pre-war Colonials and Tudors near Forest Avenue and the streets around Verona Park, alongside block after block of 1950s and 60s Capes and bi-levels. The older homes were built to last and need a careful hand around their plaster and finishes; the mid-century homes were wired for a much lighter load than a modern household runs. We modernize both cleanly, without damaging the house.
Whether your Verona home needs knob-and-tube wiring replaced, aluminum branch wiring corrected, an undersized panel upgraded, or an EV charger added, we bring it up to safe, modern, code-compliant standards.

- Finished-basement, addition, and remodel wiring for the projects Verona owners take on.
Older and mid-century homes, honest advice
Most of our Verona work is triage: figuring out what is genuinely unsafe, what is simply outdated, and what can wait. If you are buying in town, our pre-purchase electrical inspection tells you what it will take to bring a home current before you close.

Frequently asked questions
My older Verona home may have knob-and-tube. Should I be concerned?
It should be assessed. Many insurers will not cover active knob-and-tube, and it cannot safely handle modern loads. We inspect what you have and give you a prioritized plan.
Is aluminum wiring common in Verona?
In the 1960s and 70s homes, yes, and it can loosen and overheat at connections. We assess and remediate it properly. More on the risks here.
My Cape or bi-level still has its original panel. Should I upgrade?
Likely, especially before adding an EV charger, central air, or a finished basement. A 200-amp upgrade is the usual fix and is often required to pass inspection.
Do you pull the Verona permit?
Yes. We file the electrical permit through the Township Building Department and schedule the required inspections.
