"Technician came and diagnosed the issues and stated he would need to open up the roof. Came back another day and discovered that the problem would not require opening the ceiling. Ran to home depot to get some supplies and came back and had lights in my 2nd, 3rd floor bathrooms, and hallway working again within a hour. All in all it wound up costing me a 1/3 of the qouted price. Very promopt, professional and kind and absolutely will use them for any electrical needs I have in the future. I believe my technicians name was Jean or Neil, i wish I remembered for sure because he was excellent."

"We had an issue in our house, with some of our electricity being off and some remaining on. we were told, on the phone, that it could be one of a few things. Don and Pat came the next day, promptly at the time we were told. They checked out the system and told us that it was a line issue. Don told us that PSE&G should take the amount of his bill off our electrical bill. His bill was reasonable, even if we weren't able to have it deducted. We would hire DLP again."

"The initial person that did the diagnostic was very friendly and came up with a solution which the owner contracted him to do but the second group that came was different group and that was wrong it should have been the same person plus an assistant to do the job because there was a miscommunication from the owner with his employees on how to get the job accomplished. They were not able to solve my electrical issue and it became a waste of time and money. At the end I paid $175 plus I gave each guy $20 so that’s $40 to do the primary job of fixing the light electrical or fixing the electricity in the garage and they didn’t do it. The people came in the afternoon even though we agreed that it would be in the morning. The owner’s organization was not very efficient. The employees were friendly, but the owner was disorganized. The owner insisted for us to pay in cash."

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Elizabeth, NJ

A whole-house surge protector blocks voltage spikes from lightning, grid issues, or even large appliances before they can fry your wiring or electronics. By diverting excess current at the main panel, it shields everything from your HVAC to your phone chargers and can extend the life of pricey appliances. Homeowners in storm-prone regions or with older panels see the biggest payoff, but any home that relies on sensitive electronics benefits.

Most whole-house surge protectors work for two to three years. Low-level spikes—too small to notice—hit your panel every day and slowly wear down the internal components. Once the unit’s capacity is depleted, it can’t prevent a larger surge, so plan to replace it on schedule (or sooner if a major lightning strike occurs) to keep your electronics and HVAC equipment safe.

A surge protector begins guarding your circuits the moment an electrician snaps it into place. Whether the spike originates from a nearby lightning strike or your fridge kicking on, the protector shunts the extra current to ground before it can reach outlets or hard-wired systems, such as your AC. That instant response is why a small upfront cost can save thousands in appliance repairs.

The unit mounts on or next to your main electrical panel. Type 1 models sit on the supply side, catching outside spikes before they hit the breaker. Type 2 devices snap inside the panel and tame surges that start within the house. Either way, placement at the panel lets the protector guard every circuit at once.

Plan to swap the device every three to five years—or sooner if you upgrade your panel, add high-demand appliances, or notice flickering lights and tripped breakers. Relying on a maze of power strips is another red flag that your current setup isn’t keeping up. Replacing the surge protector at these milestones keeps your electrical system on safe footing.
