Maplewood electrician, every service
Looking for a licensed electrician in Maplewood, NJ?
Copper Electric is a licensed electrician serving Maplewood, NJ, from Livingston, about 17 minutes away. Steven Byrne holds NJ license #19255, and he's insured and bonded. More than half of Maplewood's homes were built in 1939 or earlier. Houses that old often have old wiring, two-prong outlets and a small panel. So it pays to know what's in the walls before a remodel or the town's resale inspection. The post office address for Maplewood is zip code 07040.
In Maplewood, Steven swaps two-prong outlets for grounded ones and adds GFCI outlets. He upgrades panels, runs new circuits and puts in Level 2 EV chargers for houses that never had a garage circuit. He wires kitchens and baths for a remodel, and he hangs chandeliers and pendants and adds recessed and outdoor lights. He also finds out why lights flicker or a breaker trips.
Maplewood permits go through the Construction Division at Town Hall, 574 Valley Street, 973-762-8120. Inspection requests have to be in writing, online or on the paper form. And since 1992, the town has inspected every home before it's sold or rented, so sellers and landlords plan for it. Maplewood Village is on the state and national historic lists, but that alone doesn't limit owners. Call Steven at 973-900-3543.
