Flat-rate pricing. No surprises. A licensed electrician on your schedule, serving Old Tappan and all of Northern New Jersey. Family-owned, fully insured, and on the road every day.
Old Tappan is a borough in Bergen County, home to 5,888 people at the 2020 census. The borough's housing plan calls it a developed, mostly single-family community, with commercial land at roughly 2 percent. Just over a third of the land is Lake Tappan and its watershed, and only about 25 acres of vacant land is developable. So nearly all electrical work here happens inside existing homes.
Electric service comes from Rockland Electric Company, the New Jersey arm of Orange & Rockland. Its tariff lists Old Tappan as part of its territory, marked "(Part)", so check your bill to confirm which utility serves your address.
The housing stock is mixed in age. About 45 percent of homes were built before 1980, and about 22.6 percent are attached single-family units, mostly townhouses (ACS 5-year estimates, 2023). Median owner-occupied value was $910,600.
Electrical work needs a permit from the borough's Building Department, under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. We pull every permit in our name and close it out with the inspector.
If breakers trip often, the panel is full, or you are adding a big load, have it checked. A service upgrade is permitted and inspected work. See panel upgrades.
Usually the first question is whether your panel has room for a new circuit. Book a visit and we will check. See EV chargers.
The borough says electrical work requires a permit application before work begins. Call the Building Department if unsure, or book a service call.
