The Guide: Electricians in Asbury Park, NJ

New Jersey licenses electrical work twice over. The company that wires your panel, hangs your fixtures or installs your car charger has to hold a business permit from the State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors, and that permit is issued on the license of a named person — the licensed electrical contractor of record — whose name, number and status sit in the state register for anyone to look up in about ninety seconds.

Eighteen companies do residential electrical work in Asbury Park, Neptune Township, Neptune City and Ocean Township (Oakhurst). Two of them publish an electrical license number anywhere at all. Fourteen have no website we could find. That is not a criticism of the trade — a two-van electrical company in Asbury Park has no particular reason to keep a website — but it does mean the state register is the only public record of who is licensed here, and almost nobody reads it. This guide reports, for every company, exactly what it publishes about its own license and exactly what the state record says: both numbers, and the person behind them.

How We Selected These Companies

A company appears here if it does residential electrical work — wiring, panels, service upgrades, lighting, generators, car chargers, repairs — for homeowners in Asbury Park, Neptune Township, Neptune City or Ocean Township (Oakhurst).

In practice that means one of two things. Either the state holds an active electrical business permit for the company at an address in those towns — seventeen companies here do — or the company works from a few miles out in Monmouth or Ocean County and names one of these towns as an area it serves. Electrical work travels to the customer, so where a company keeps its office is a fact in the table rather than a reason to leave it out.

The license is not the gate. It is the first column. Making it a condition of entry would delete companies from the page on the strength of what their websites do not say, and this market shows exactly why that would be wrong: four fifths of these companies say nothing at all, and they are licensed all the same.

Where we cannot tell, we say so rather than guess. Fourteen of the companies below publish no website we could find, so we cannot tell you from their own words whether they will take a small repair call or only quote larger work. What we can tell you is that the state holds an active permit in their name and who it is issued on. If you run one of these companies and want more than the state record on this page, the address at the foot of it is all it takes.

Finding all of them took more than one search, and that is worth saying out loud. The state register files a company under whatever city its paperwork carries, and Ocean Township’s companies are filed under four different city names — Ocean, Ocean Township, Oakhurst and Wanamassa. Searching “Oakhurst,” which is the postal town most people would use, finds five of the seventeen. We ran every spelling of every municipality in this guide, including Wanamassa, and the count settled at seventeen. If you have ever searched that register for your own town and concluded there were only a handful of electricians in it, this is why.

About This Guide

This guide is produced by Garden State Circle. Companies appear here because they meet the criterion described above — they do residential electrical work for homeowners in Asbury Park, Neptune Township, Neptune City or Ocean Township (Oakhurst). That is a test, not a judgment, and it is the only route onto this page. No company can pay to be included in this guide, to be listed higher, or to change what the comparison table says about it. Companies are listed alphabetically, and every detail in the table was verified against each company’s own website and against the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs licensee register — both the business search and the person search — in September 2026.

Everything under the heading that begins this guide is governed by the rules above, on every guide we publish. Where a sponsor’s message appears above that heading, it is paid for and labelled, and it buys nothing in the guide. Garden State Circle is supported by the businesses that participate in it. Participation pays for our ongoing work: keeping a business’s entry accurate, re-checking its record, and publishing a page of its own details that the business maintains. There is no paid placement in this guide. Participation does not buy a place here, a position here, or anything the comparison table says. Every detail here was verified on the date shown on this page.

Garden State Circle is published in New Jersey by Tiffany and Jake Slowinski and covers Asbury Park, Neptune Township, Neptune City and Ocean Township (Oakhurst). Contact the publisher at jake@gardenstatecircle.com. How every guide is made, in one place: how every guide is made.

Which of These Companies Is Actually Nearby

Most homeowners asking whether an electrician is “local” are really asking one question: will they come out for my small job? That is worth separating from geography, because the two are not the same thing.

Seventeen of the companies here hold their state business permit at an address inside the guide’s towns, and they are not spread evenly. Ocean Township accounts for all seventeen of them — twelve filed under “Ocean” and five under “Oakhurst.”

On the second question — whether a company will take a single repair call rather than only quoting projects — the table reports what each company says on its own site, and for most of this market the honest answer is that it says nothing. We are asking every company on this list directly, and their answers will be published here as they come in.

The Companies, Compared

Listed alphabetically. The three right-hand columns are three different things and the difference is the point: the first reports what the company puts on its own website, the second is the business permit the state holds under the company’s name, and the third is the person the state issued that permit on.

A Note on Reading the License Columns

Three things on this page will look wrong until you know why they are not.

A published number is usually short, and that is normal. The state’s permit is twelve characters — 34EB, six digits, then 00 — but most companies publish only the six digits in the middle. “License # 13346” is 34EB01334600.

A permit number can return more than one company. The number belongs to the licensed contractor, not to the business, and New Jersey lets one licensed contractor qualify only one business at a time — so when a contractor moves, the number goes with him and the company he left is marked Closed. One number on this page returns six companies, five of them closed or withdrawn and one active. If you look up a number and land on a closed company, that is very probably what you are looking at.

Where the register spells something oddly, we print it as the register has it. There are two on this page: a company registered as The Electrican LLC and a qualifier named Trollan behind a company named Troller. Correcting them here would mean you could not find them there.

The Companies

ACT Electrical Contracting LLC, Ocean Township

ACT Electrical Contracting works from Valley Road in Ocean Township and publishes “License # 13346,” which expands to an active business permit on the license of Chad J Bacek. The site describes the company as serving New Jersey generally rather than naming towns, and notes it can be insured in five other states.

The Arc Whisperer LLC, Ocean Township

The Arc Whisperer LLC holds an active business permit at an Ocean Township address on the license of Michael F Rizzo. We found no website for the company, so the table carries the state record and nothing else.

Cramer Electric, Ocean Township

Cramer Electric holds an active business permit at an Ocean Township address on the license of Joseph Pollio. We found no website for the company, so the table carries the state record and nothing else.

Dean J Marchetti Electrical Contractor LLC, Oakhurst

Dean J Marchetti Electrical Contractor LLC holds an active business permit at an Oakhurst address on his own license. We found no website for the company, so the table carries the state record and nothing else.

Elite Electric & Lighting LLC, Ocean Township

Elite Electric & Lighting LLC holds an active business permit at an Ocean Township address on the license of Joshua F. Hall. We found no website for the company, so the table carries the state record and nothing else.

Encon Mechanical Corporation, Ocean Township

Encon Mechanical holds an active electrical business permit at an Ocean Township address on the license of Thomas A Puleo, whose own license is registered in Wayne — a mechanical contractor carrying the electrical credential as well, which is worth separating from the specialist electrical firms around it on this page.

Falusi Electric LLC, Ocean Township

Falusi Electric LLC holds an active business permit at an Ocean Township address on the license of Anthony Falusi. We found no website for the company, so the table carries the state record and nothing else.

Genermax Electric LLC, Ocean Township

Genermax Electric LLC holds an active business permit at an Ocean Township address on the license of Scott Mayers. We found no website for the company, so the table carries the state record and nothing else.

J B S Electric Inc, Oakhurst

J B S Electric Inc holds an active business permit at an Oakhurst address on the license of James B Sariotis. We found no website for the company, so the table carries the state record and nothing else.

Kirk Klohr Electric, Oakhurst

Kirk Klohr Electric holds an active business permit at an Oakhurst address on his own license. We found no website for the company, so the table carries the state record and nothing else.

L U Electric LLC, Ocean Township

L U Electric LLC holds an active business permit at an Ocean Township address on the license of Jakob Elshtein. We found no website for the company, so the table carries the state record and nothing else.

Mid Coast Electric Corporation, Ocean Township

Mid Coast Electric names Monmouth and Ocean counties and publishes a post-office box in Ocean Township rather than a street address. It publishes no license number; the state holds an active business permit on the license of Matthew Rovito.

MM Electric LLC (t/a MM Home Service), Neptune

MM Home Service works from Neptune City and publishes “NJ Electrical License #15950,” which expands to an active business permit held under the registered name MM Electric LLC, on the license of Michele Masotti, whose own license is registered in Wall. It names Long Branch and Red Bank among roughly twenty towns across Monmouth and Ocean counties.

R Sullivan Electric Inc, Oakhurst

R Sullivan Electric holds an active business permit at an Oakhurst address. The permit is issued on the license of Frederick B Sullivan, and the license is registered at a Wall Township address. The surname matches the company and the initial does not, so we name the person the state names and leave it there rather than assuming which Sullivan founded the company. We found no website for the company.

Sea Bright Solar LLC, Ocean Township

Sea Bright Solar works from Cindy Lane in Ocean Township, with further offices in Staten Island and California, and it publishes more license numbers than any other company on this page — five, across four states. None of them is its electrical business permit. The New Jersey number it publishes, 13VH01847600, is a Home Improvement Contractor registration, which is a different credential from a different part of the Division and is not the license behind electrical work. The electrical permit is in the column to the right: active, on the license of Nicholas W Martinelli, whose own license is registered in West Long Branch.

Troller Electric LLC, Ocean Township

Troller Electric holds an active business permit at an Ocean Township address on the license of Patrick Trollan — one letter away from the company’s own name, and we print both as the register has them rather than deciding which is the typographical error. This is one of two active permits the register holds under the Troller Electric name; the second is below.

Troller Electric LLC t/a The Electrican LLC, Ocean Township

This is the second active permit the register holds under the Troller Electric name, registered as Troller Electric LLC t/a The Electrican LLC — the register’s spelling, missing the second i in Electrician, and printed here as the state has it. It is a different permit number from the entry above and it is issued on a different person’s license, Ian V Gulino, whose own license is registered in Jackson. New Jersey allows one licensed contractor to qualify only one business at a time, so two permits means two qualifiers, not one company counted twice.

Zimmerer Electric LLC, Oakhurst

Zimmerer Electric LLC holds an active business permit at an Oakhurst address on the license of Mark Zimmerer. We found no website for the company, so the table carries the state record and nothing else.

Common Questions

How do I check whether a New Jersey electrician is licensed?

Go to the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs license verification system at newjersey.mylicense.com and run two searches. In the Business Search, set the profession to Electrical Contractors and the license type to Electrical Business Permit, and search by company name or town; the result gives you the company’s permit number and whether it is active. Then take the six digits in the middle of that number, switch to the Person Search, set the license type to Electrical Contractor, and search by license number 34EI followed by those digits and 00; the result gives you the name of the licensed contractor the permit was issued on, and whether their license is active. Both searches are free and take about a minute together.

I looked up the number my electrician published and the register shows a company that is closed. What does that mean?

Most likely that you are looking at a company he used to qualify, not at a problem. The permit number belongs to the licensed contractor rather than to the business. New Jersey allows one licensed contractor to qualify only one business at a time, so when a contractor leaves one company for another, the same number is issued to the new company and the old one is marked Closed or Withdrawn. Search that number and you get the whole sequence at once. One number that appears on this page returns six companies — five closed or withdrawn, one active. The row that matters is the active one, and there should only ever be one of those. If the number you were given returns an active company that is not the company you are talking to, that is worth asking about.

The register returns nothing for the company I am looking at. What does that mean?

Usually that the name you typed is not the name the state holds, or the town you typed is not the town it filed under. The register stores the registered legal name, which is often not the name on the van — it drops ampersands, abbreviates words, and in this county and its neighbours contains outright spelling mistakes. It matches on the opening words of a name rather than anywhere inside it. And the town field is matched loosely, so a search for a short town name will hand you results from every town in New Jersey whose name begins the same way. Try the shortest distinctive opening words of the company name, try the owner’s surname in the person search, and try every name the post office uses for the town. A company you cannot find is not the same thing as a company that is not licensed.

Which town’s construction office do I actually call?

Not necessarily the one on your envelope, and in this market not necessarily one in your town at all. And an Oakhurst address is Ocean Township, whose town hall is in Oakhurst but whose municipality is not. This guide covers Asbury Park, Neptune Township, Neptune City and Ocean Township (Oakhurst). The table below lists the office we have opened; Asbury Park, Neptune Township and Neptune City are each their own municipality with its own construction office that we have not yet opened, and the permit office is found on each town’s own website.

What is the difference between the license and the business permit?

The electrical contractor license is issued to a person who has passed the state examination, and the business permit is issued to a company on that person’s license. New Jersey requires an electrical contracting company to hold both. The person is the qualifier; the company cannot operate without one, and one licensed contractor can qualify only one company at a time.

Does New Jersey license journeyman electricians?

No. New Jersey registers journeyman electricians and apprentices through the same board, and licenses electrical contractors. A journeyman on the job is registered, not licensed, and the license behind the work belongs to the contractor of record in the table above. The state does not issue a “master electrician” credential at all.

A company published a New Jersey license number that starts 13VH. Is that the electrical license?

No. 13VH is a Home Improvement Contractor registration, which nearly every contractor working on New Jersey homes has to hold, and it is issued by a different part of the Division of Consumer Affairs. It says nothing about electrical qualification. The electrical credentials are the two on this page: 34EB for the company and 34EI for the person. One company on this page publishes five license numbers across four states and none of them is its electrical permit.

Does an electrician here need a permit for the job?

That depends on the job, and it is your own municipality’s construction office that decides, not us. The office we have opened for this guide, with its phone number and hours, is in the section below. Ask before the work starts; a licensed contractor will already know the answer.

Who Governs Electrical Work in Asbury Park

Electrical work in New Jersey answers to two state agencies with confusingly similar names, and they do different things. The license belongs to the Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors, part of the Division of Consumer Affairs — (973) 504-6410 — which issues the electrical contractor license and the business permit in the table above. The permit for the job belongs to the Uniform Construction Code, N.J.A.C. 5:23, written by the Department of Community Affairs, Division of Codes and Standards — (609) 292-7899 — and enforced by each municipality’s own construction office, listed below. New Jersey adopted new editions of its construction subcodes on August 17, 2026; the electrical subcode is the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, 2023 edition (N.J.A.C. 5:23-3.16) — the one subcode in the set that is not a 2024 code — per the Division’s current-codes table, read September 2, 2026.

One municipality, one office.

The office was opened and read on September 3, 2026. Names are published only where the municipality publishes them.

One thing about these offices is worth knowing before you call. The office publishes its electrical official by name. That is not normal. If you have an electrical question rather than a general construction one, this is the rare market where you always know exactly who to ask for.

Fee schedules are adopted by ordinance and change. Whether a particular job needs a permit is interpreted by the town’s own construction office, not by us. We publish what each municipality published, with the date we checked it — confirm with the office before you rely on it, and if any of it has changed, the correction address at the foot of this page is the fastest way to tell us.

Something out of date?

This guide is maintained. If anything here is wrong or has changed — a name, an address, a permit number, or whether a business has closed — tell us and we will check it. Businesses listed here are welcome to write in directly, and a company that publishes a license number we have recorded as absent, or that we could not find in the register under the name it uses, is exactly the kind of correction we want.

And if you run an electrical company that should be on this list and is not, write to us. We would rather be told than be incomplete. The test is the same one every company here cleared: that you do residential electrical work for homeowners in Asbury Park, Neptune Township, Neptune City or Ocean Township (Oakhurst). A permit pulled in one of those municipalities, a completed job, or your business permit will do it. Show us that and you go on the page.
