Finding a reliable electrician in New Jersey can feel overwhelming. There's no shortage of companies advertising in your area, and when you're dealing with something as important as your home's electrical system, the last thing you want is to gamble on an unknown contractor. That's why so many homeowners and business owners across Northern New Jersey keep coming back to — and referring their neighbors to — Malfettone Electric.
Here's what sets us apart, and what you should expect from any licensed electrician you hire in NJ.

We're Licensed, Insured, and Local to Northern NJ
In New Jersey, electrical contractors are required to hold a valid license issued by the NJ Division of Consumer Affairs. That's not optional — it's the law. A licensed electrician has passed rigorous testing, demonstrated real field experience, and is legally authorized to pull permits and perform electrical work that meets the NJ Uniform Construction Code.
Malfettone Electric checks every one of those boxes. We're fully licensed and insured, and we serve a tight geographic footprint — Essex, Hudson, Bergen, Passaic, and Union counties — which means we know your local inspection offices, your town's permit requirements, and the quirks of the housing stock in your specific neighborhood. That local knowledge matters more than most people realize.

Permits: We Handle Them So You Don't Have to Worry
One of the biggest mistakes homeowners make is hiring an electrician who skips the permit process to save time or money. In New Jersey, electrical work above a certain scope — panel upgrades, new circuits, EV charger installations, generator hookups — requires a permit and inspection. If that work is done without one, you could face problems when you sell your home, file an insurance claim, or try to refinance.
At Malfettone Electric, we pull the permits. We schedule the inspections. We make sure your project is fully documented and code-compliant when we leave your property. It's not extra hassle — it's just the right way to do the job.

The Services Northern NJ Homes and Businesses Actually Need
We've built our service menu around what real NJ homeowners and commercial clients are asking for right now:
- Panel upgrades — Older homes throughout Essex and Bergen counties often have 100-amp panels that simply can't keep up with modern electrical loads. We upgrade to 200-amp and larger service safely and efficiently.
- EV charger installation — Level 2 home charger installs are one of our most requested services. We handle the wiring, the permit, and the inspection from start to finish.
- Whole-home generator hookups — After a few rough storm seasons in NJ, backup power isn't a luxury anymore. We install transfer switches and connect standby generators the right way.
- Smart-home wiring — From dedicated circuits for home offices to structured wiring for connected devices, we keep up with how homes actually function today.
- Commercial electrical — We serve small businesses, landlords, and property managers across Northern NJ with the same reliability we bring to residential jobs.

Straightforward Communication, Honest Pricing
We won't quote you one number on the phone and hand you a different invoice at the end of the job. Before any work begins, we walk you through what needs to be done, why, and what it's going to cost. If something unexpected comes up mid-project — and sometimes it does — we'll talk to you about it before we proceed.
That kind of straightforward communication is why so much of our business comes from referrals. When a neighbor recommends an electrician in New Jersey, they're putting their own reputation on the line. We take that seriously.
