East Hanover electrician, every service

Looking for a licensed electrician in East Hanover, NJ?

Copper Electric is a licensed electrician serving East Hanover, NJ, from Livingston, about 8 minutes away. Steven Byrne holds NJ license #19255, and he's insured and bonded. The median East Hanover home was built in 1976. Homes from that time often run out of panel space once a car charger, a finished basement or a bigger kitchen comes along. So the job often starts at the panel. The post office address for East Hanover is zip code 07936.

For East Hanover homes and businesses, Steven upgrades panels and adds new circuits. He puts in Level 2 EV chargers, so the car is charged by morning. He hangs pendants and chandeliers and puts in recessed lights, and outside he adds security and landscape lights. He wires kitchens and baths, adds GFCI outlets, and finds out why a breaker keeps tripping.

East Hanover permits go through the Construction Department at 411 Ridgedale Avenue. The township wants a zoning permit before any building permit, and electrical inspections run Wednesday and Thursday mornings, 7:30 to 10:30. Work is only allowed 7 to 6 on weekdays and 9 to 6 on weekends, so the job is planned around both. East Hanover gets electric from JCP&L, and gas from PSE&G. Call Steven at 973-900-3543.
