Voltus Energy Solutions is a New Jersey licensed electrical contractor, and West Orange keeps us working across the full range of homes. The town runs from the 19th-century estates of Llewellyn Park and the older houses of Hutton Park and the Gregory section to postwar ranches and brand-new condos. The older homes were built to last, with complex construction and finishes you cannot simply cut into, so we modernize them carefully and without damage. The newer ones need capacity and convenience, and we handle both.
Whether your West Orange home needs knob-and-tube wiring replaced, an undersized panel upgraded, or an EV charger added, we bring it up to safe, modern, code-compliant standards without tearing it apart.
What we do most often in West Orange
- Electrical panel upgrades: moving older and undersized services up to modern 200-amp capacity. Not sure what you have? See how many amps your home needs.
- Knob-and-tube and old wiring remediation: for the pre-1940 homes in Llewellyn Park, Hutton Park, and the Gregory section.
- Aluminum wiring correction: common in postwar and mid-century houses.
- EV charger installation: Level 2 chargers for commuters, including in condos and townhomes where we coordinate the load.
- Renovation and addition wiring for the town’s steady remodeling market.
From historic estates to new construction
In older neighborhoods like Llewellyn Park and Hutton Park, we treat the house with respect: assessing legacy wiring, upgrading service and grounding, and concealing the work so it disappears. In postwar and newer homes, the jobs skew toward capacity and convenience, such as panel upgrades, EV charger hookups, recessed lighting, and finished-basement circuits. If you are buying anywhere in town, our pre-purchase electrical inspection tells you what you are walking into.

Frequently asked questions
My West Orange home is from the 1920s. Should I worry about the wiring?
It is worth an assessment. Homes of that era often still carry knob-and-tube or ungrounded circuits and undersized service. We tell you what is genuinely a safety issue and what can wait.
Do I need a bigger panel for an EV charger or a heat pump?
Often, yes. Many older West Orange homes are on 100-amp or smaller service. We run the load calculation and either free up capacity or pair the charger with a 200-amp panel upgrade.
Do you work in condos and townhomes?
Yes. We coordinate panel capacity and any association requirements for EV chargers and other upgrades in the newer gated developments.
Do you pull the West Orange permit?
Yes. We file the electrical permit through the Township’s Building and Construction Code Enforcement office and schedule the required inspections.
