Electrical work is not the place to cut corners. Before you hire anyone in New Jersey, ask these seven questions to protect your home, your wallet, and your safety.
1. Are you a licensed NJ electrical contractor?
NJ requires a state electrical contractor license. Ask for the number and verify it. (Ours is #34EI01906000.)
2. Are you insured?
General liability and workers’ compensation protect you if something goes wrong. Ask for a certificate of insurance.
3. Will you pull the permit?
Most electrical work in NJ requires a permit and inspection. A pro pulls it; someone avoiding permits is a red flag.
4. Is the quote detailed and in writing?
A clear, itemized quote prevents surprises and lets you compare fairly.
5. Have you done this type of work before?
Whether it’s a panel upgrade, EV charger, or older-home rewiring, experience matters.
6. Who actually does the work?
Know whether it’s the licensed contractor’s crew or subcontractors.
7. Can you share references or reviews?
Reputable electricians have a track record you can check.
