Hiring an Electrician in New Jersey: What I’d Want to Know Before Someone Starts Opening My Walls

By Tiffany Slowinski

There are certain home projects I am perfectly willing to fake my way through.

Electrical work is not one of them.

If a light fixture needs to be changed, an outlet suddenly stops working or half the kitchen goes dark every time someone uses the toaster and the air fryer at the same time, I do not want to become an electrician. I want to know who to call.

The problem is that most of us do not have an electrician until we suddenly need one.

Then you Google. You ask in a Facebook group. You text a neighbor. You get three names and very quickly realize you have almost no idea how to compare them.

That is where I would start.

First, are they actually licensed?

This seems like a ridiculously basic question.

It is also one I would check before letting anyone do electrical work in my house.

New Jersey regulates electrical contractors through the state. There is a business permit tied to the electrical contracting company and a licensed electrical contractor of record attached to it.

I do not expect homeowners to memorize license numbers.

I do think we should know that there is a state record and that we can check it.

That is one of the reasons we built this guide around the licensing records instead of simply pulling together the companies that appear first on Google.

Because here is what surprised me: a lot of legitimate electricians are barely online at all.

That does not mean they are less qualified.

It means Google is showing you the businesses that are easiest for Google to find.

Those are not always the same thing.

What kind of electrical work do you actually do?

This would probably be my next question because “electrician” covers a lot.

Maybe I need a dead outlet fixed.

Maybe I am renovating a kitchen and need new lighting everywhere.

Maybe we are adding an EV charger.

Maybe I want landscape lighting, a generator or a new electrical panel because the house was built when nobody owned six televisions, three laptops and an air fryer.

Those are very different jobs.

I would tell the electrician exactly what I am trying to accomplish and ask how often they do that kind of work.

I am not looking for the person who technically can do everything.

I want the person who regularly does the thing I need done.

Do I need a permit for this?

This is one of those questions I would rather ask before the job starts than after someone has already opened a wall.

Some electrical work requires permits and inspections. The exact process runs through the local construction office.

I do not expect to know which form gets filed with which town department.

That is why I am hiring a professional.

What I do want is a very clear answer: Does this job require a permit? Who is pulling it? Who schedules the inspection? Is that included in the quote?

If the answer is some version of “we usually just skip that,” I would have more questions.

What exactly am I paying for?

Electrical estimates can get confusing quickly because the part you can see is often the smallest part of the job.

You may think you are paying for six recessed lights.

The electrician may be looking at wiring, the panel, switches, dimmers, access above the ceiling, permits and three other things you did not know existed.

That is fine.

Just explain it to me.

I do not need to understand every wire in my house. I do want to understand why the job costs what it costs and whether the quote includes everything needed to finish it.

If opening the wall could uncover additional problems, tell me what those might be before we start.

Nobody likes a surprise invoice.

Especially one that arrives after there are holes in the ceiling.

Are you going to solve the problem or just fix the symptom?

This matters more to me than whether someone has the fanciest truck.

If an outlet keeps tripping or the lights keep flickering, I do not want someone to make it stop for three days.

I want to know why it is happening.

The same goes when you are renovating.

A good conversation is not just “Where do you want the outlets?”

It is also: How do you actually use this room? Where are the lamps going? Are you mounting a television? Do you need outlets inside the bathroom vanity? Are the kitchen appliances changing? Are you going to regret not adding the EV charger while everything is already open?

I appreciate anyone who can see the problem I am about to create for myself before I create it.

What if my house is older?

A lot of beautiful New Jersey homes were built long before our current relationship with electricity.

We have older houses with additions, renovations, finished basements and decades of previous homeowners making decisions behind the walls.

If I owned one of those homes, I would specifically ask whether the electrician regularly works on houses of a similar age.

Old does not automatically mean unsafe.

It does mean I want someone who understands what they may find when they start looking.

And if the electrician tells me something needs to be upgraded, I want to understand whether we are talking about a code requirement, a safety issue, something needed for the project I am doing or simply something they would recommend.

Those are not all the same thing.

What should I do before an emergency happens?

This is the part none of us thinks about until the power is out.

If you already have an electrician you trust, save the number.

If you do not, finding one before you have an actual electrical problem is not the worst idea.

Ask whether they handle emergency calls. Ask what their service area is. Ask whether existing customers get priority.

Because the worst possible time to investigate electricians is when something smells like it is burning.

And if something genuinely seems dangerous, I am not crowdsourcing it on Facebook first.

Pay attention to how they explain things

This may be my biggest filter with anyone working in my house.

Do they answer the question you asked?

Can they explain the problem without making you feel stupid?

Do they tell you what needs to happen now and what can wait?

If there are two reasonable ways to solve something, do they explain both?

I am completely comfortable paying a professional for expertise.

I am considerably less comfortable paying someone who acts like asking what they are doing is an inconvenience.

It is my house.

I am allowed to understand the plan.

So how do you actually find the right electrician?

This is exactly why we built this guide differently.

Garden State Circle did not start with Google rankings or online reviews. We started with the New Jersey licensing record.

For Belle Mead, Skillman and Montgomery Township, we looked for companies with active New Jersey electrical business permits based in these towns, along with companies that specifically say they work here. We checked the business permit and the licensed electrical contractor of record attached to it.

Then we published what we could actually verify.

Some companies have detailed websites.

Some have almost no online presence at all.

That does not make this a ranking.

It gives you a better starting point.

Because when someone is working on the electrical system inside my house, I care a lot less about who has the best website.

I care whether they are qualified, whether they know the kind of work I need done and whether I trust them to tell me what actually needs to happen.

That is the electrician I want in my phone before I need one.

The Guide: Electricians in Belle Mead, Skillman and Montgomery Township, NJ

New Jersey licenses electrical work twice over, and the two numbers are not the same thing. A business permit lets a company hold itself out and take contracts. A licensed electrical contractor of record is the named individual the permit is qualified by. Both are held with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs, both are searchable by anyone, and this guide reports both for every company on it.

Almost nobody in this market publishes either. This guide reports, for every company, exactly what it publishes about its own license and exactly what the state record returns.

How We Selected These Companies

This guide covers three municipalities: Montgomery Township (Belle Mead, Skillman, Blawenburg), Rocky Hill and Millstone Borough. Montgomery Township contains the postal villages of Belle Mead, Skillman and Blawenburg, which is why most addresses here carry one of those names rather than the township’s.

A company appears here if it does residential electrical work for homeowners in those towns, and if it says so itself — by holding a state registration at an address inside one of them, or by naming one of them on its own website.

Either the company is here, or it says it works here.

One note on the word Millstone, because it sends people forty miles in the wrong direction. Millstone Borough is a four-hundred-person village on the Millstone River in Somerset County, next to Montgomery. New Jersey also has a Millstone Township in Monmouth County, near Clarksburg, with its own construction office and its own contractors. They are not the same place. Every company and every municipal record on this page was checked against which Millstone was meant.

Nine companies meet the test. They are listed alphabetically.

What This Market Looks Like

Two things are worth knowing before the table.

Five companies have premises inside this market, and three of them have no website at all. They are on Belle Mead and Skillman roads, they hold active state registrations, and there is nothing online to read about them. Their rows say so plainly. A blank in the license column on this page is far more often a company that never built a website than a company with anything to hide.

The other four are companies that name these towns themselves — from Hillsborough, Kendall Park, Princeton and Cranford. Each publishes a service area with Montgomery, Skillman, Rocky Hill or Belle Mead written into it, rather than a county name that happens to contain them.

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 the towns this guide covers. 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 record 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.

Garden State Circle is published in New Jersey by Tiffany and Jake Slowinski and covers Montgomery Township (Belle Mead, Skillman, Blawenburg), Rocky Hill and Millstone Borough. Contact the publisher at jake@gardenstatecircle.com. How every guide is made, in one place: how every guide is made.

A Note on Reading the License Columns

New Jersey issues two different electrical credentials and they answer two different questions.

The business permit — a number beginning 34EB — belongs to the company. It is what allows a business to advertise, contract and pull permits.

The licensed electrical contractor of record — a number beginning 34EI — belongs to a named person. Every business permit is qualified by one. The two numbers share their last eight digits, which is why a company publishing one of them has effectively published both.

New Jersey registers journeyman electricians and licenses contractors. “Master electrician” is not a New Jersey credential; where a company uses the phrase, that is the company’s word and not ours.

The columns report state licensure on the date shown, and nothing else. They are not a rating, not a measure of quality, and not a statement about insurance. Three phrases appear and each means one thing. Not published means we read the company’s site and the number is not on it. No website found means the company has no site we could find. Website did not load means it has one and it would not open for us. None of the three is a statement about the company.

The Companies

Accu-Mark Electric Inc

Accu-Mark works from Halsey Road in the Kendall Park section of South Brunswick and publishes a service list that names Montgomery and Skillman alongside Princeton, Franklin Park, Plainsboro and the Windsors. Its business permit is active in the state record and is qualified by Mark A Flowers. No license number appears on the site.

First Class Electric

First Class Electric is at 619 Raritan Road in Cranford and publishes a town-by-town service list organised by county in which Belle Mead appears under Somerset. It publishes both of its numbers — the contractor license and the business permit — which is rare and which is exactly what the two columns above are for. The permit is held under the name Lexel Inc at the same Cranford address, and is qualified by Jonas Kaziunas. Both are active.

J.C. Eisenmann Electrical Contractor

J.C. Eisenmann works from Cleveland Circle in Skillman and is the only company on this page whose owner writes about the township on his own site — he grew up in Skillman, went through the Montgomery school system, and works out of the town he came back to. He publishes License # 8802, which resolves in the state record to an active business permit qualified by James Eisenmann.

Matticoli J Electric Inc

Matticoli J Electric is registered at a Belle Mead address and holds an active business permit qualified by Joseph Matticoli. The company publishes no website and no license number; everything in its row comes from the state record.

Perfect Circuit Electrical LLC

Perfect Circuit works from Belle Mead, with a second address in Somerville, and its published service area names Skillman, Montgomery and Belle Mead among the towns it covers. Its site would not open for us in September 2026 — the security certificate has expired — so nothing further is reported from it. The state record carries the company as Perfect Circut Electrical LLC, without the second “i”, which is how the register spells it rather than how the company does. The permit is active and qualified by Kenneth Bender.

Pezz Electrical Services LLC

Pezz Electrical works from Stryker Lane in Hillsborough and publishes dedicated pages for Montgomery and for Belle Mead among the towns it serves, along with Princeton, Somerville and Bridgewater. It publishes Electrical License #10084, plus home improvement and HVAC registrations. The permit is active and qualified by Vincent Pezza.

Princeton Electrical Makeover LLC

Princeton Electrical Makeover is on Route 1 in Princeton and names Rocky Hill in its service area along with Princeton, Hopewell, Lawrenceville and Hamilton. It publishes its business permit in the full twelve-character state format — 34EB01624400 — which is the clearest way a company can publish this number and the least common. It is active and qualified by Alexander Levin.

RG Electric

RG Electric runs from a Belle Mead address and publishes a site built around Montgomery, describing residential work for the township and the towns around it. No license number appears on it. The state record carries an active business permit at a Belle Mead address, qualified by Ryan V Galdi.

Sferra Electrical Contractors LLC

Sferra Electrical Contractors is registered at a Belle Mead address and holds an active business permit qualified by Michelino N Sferra. The company publishes no website and no license number.

Common Questions

What is the difference between the two license numbers?
One belongs to the company and one belongs to a person. The business permit (34EB) lets a company advertise and take contracts. The contractor of record (34EI) is the named individual who qualifies that permit. They share their last eight digits. A company that gives you one has given you both.

Is an electrician required to publish the number?
The state requires the license number to appear in advertising for this trade, in the same way it does for plumbing. Most companies serving these towns do not publish it anywhere on their own site. That is what the middle column of the table records.

Three of these companies have no website. Should that worry me?
No. Several of the longest-established electrical contractors with premises in Montgomery Township publish nothing online at all. In a market like this one, an empty license column usually means a company that never built a website. Any contractor will give you the number if you ask, and you can check it yourself against the state register in about a minute.

Why are there companies from Princeton and Cranford on a Montgomery guide?
Because they say they work here, in their own words, on their own sites — each of them names Montgomery, Skillman, Rocky Hill or Belle Mead specifically rather than naming a county. Montgomery has no highway through it and is served largely by companies that drive in, so a guide restricted to businesses with a Belle Mead or Skillman address would be five companies long and would leave out most of the people actually doing the work.

Who inspects electrical work in these towns?
It depends which town. Montgomery Township runs its own construction department. Rocky Hill and Millstone do not have one — both are inspected by the State of New Jersey, with the regional inspector working out of the Rocky Hill Municipal Building on Tuesday afternoons. All three are listed below.

Who Governs Electrical Work in Montgomery Township, Rocky Hill and Millstone Borough, NJ

Two state agencies sit behind residential electrical work in New Jersey. The Division of Consumer Affairs, through the Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors, issues the business permit and the contractor license in this guide’s table. The Department of Community Affairs, Division of Codes and Standards administers the Uniform Construction Code, whose electrical subcode governs the work itself. New Jersey adopted the 2024 editions of the model codes on August 17, 2026, according to the Division’s current codes table.

Permits and inspections are normally municipal. In two of these three towns they are not — the boroughs are too small to run a construction office, and the Department of Community Affairs inspects them directly.

Municipality	Construction permit office, as the town names it	Phone	Officials, as published	Hours, as published
Montgomery Township (Belle Mead, Skillman, Blawenburg)	Building & Construction Department, 100 Community Drive, Skillman	908-359-8211	Michael Krupsky, Construction Official · no electrical subcode official published	Mon–Fri 8:00am–4:30pm; payments taken until 3:30pm
Rocky Hill	Construction services provided by the State of New Jersey, Division of Codes and Standards, Office of Local Code Enforcement — Borough Hall, 15 Montgomery Avenue	609-924-7445	William D. Patterson, Acting Construction Official	Tuesdays 1:00pm–3:00pm at Borough Hall
Millstone Borough	Shared service with the State of New Jersey; the regional inspector is based at the Rocky Hill Municipal Building — Borough Hall, 1353 Main Street	908-281-6893	William Patterson, Building Inspector · Dan Devoti, Zoning Officer	Tuesdays 1:00pm–3:00pm

Offices read September 4, 2026.

Rocky Hill and Millstone share the same state inspector and the same two-hour window a week. If you live in either borough, that is where an electrical permit is issued, and the window is narrow — ring ahead rather than driving over. Montgomery Township publishes a construction official but does not name an electrical subcode official on the pages we read, so this guide names none.

Fee schedules are adopted by ordinance and change. Requirements are interpreted by the town’s own construction office, or by the state office that serves it, not by us. We publish what each municipality published, with the date we checked it — confirm before you rely on it.
