Share which breaker trips, what was running when it happened, whether it resets, and whether you notice heat, odor, buzzing, or flickering lights. That information helps triage the issue faster.
Do you do electrical panel upgrades and replacements?

Many electricians install Level 2 EV chargers and dedicated circuits. Ask about panel capacity, placement, and whether any utility or township requirements apply.
Are estimates available?
Ask for upfront pricing or a written estimate when possible. Emergency or after-hours calls may have different rates depending on urgency and parts required.
Do electrical jobs require permits in Princeton?
Some electrical work may require permits/inspections depending on scope and local rules—especially panel/service upgrades, new circuits, or EV charger installations. A reputable electrician can guide you on what applies.
Still not sure? Call {{TRACKING_PHONE}} and describe the issue (what’s affected, when it started, and whether breakers/outlets are hot, buzzing, or sparking). That helps route you to the right provider faster.
