Copper Electric is a licensed electrician serving Verona, NJ, from Livingston, about 12 minutes away. Steven Byrne holds NJ license #19255, and he's insured and bonded.

In Verona, Steven tracks down dead outlets, flickering lights and breakers that trip. He adds outlets and GFCI outlets where an old house is short on both, and he upgrades panels, runs new circuits and puts in Level 2 EV chargers. He wires kitchens and baths, hangs chandeliers and pendants, and adds recessed and outdoor lights. He works on homes and businesses.
Verona permits go through Building and Zoning at the Community Center, 880 Bloomfield Avenue. You can even mail the form in with a check and a stamped envelope. Inspections are booked by phone only, at 973-857-4835, and the electrical inspector works Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and there's no work at all on Sundays.
