"I’ve used ILL Electrical to replace my lights in my home to recessed lighting and upgrade my electrical box’s voltage. The price was great and the workmen’s professionally done. As a new and first time home owner who knows little to nothing, it was quite informative and easy to work with this young man. I dreaded this experience but he helped make it positives Thank you!"

"We purchased the home a month before all of our electrical issues started. Come to find out that water was following the main wire into the panel, and moisture was building behind the breakers. We found the problem when a circuit became overloaded, and the breaker didn't trip, causing the wire to overheat and almost cause a serious fire inside the wall void and drop ceiling. We started calling all the local services, and that's when we found Alex and the crew of Princeton Electrical Makeover (PEM). Even during the great pandemic (COVID-19) of 2020, PEM was responsive, professional, reasonable, and safe when coming into our home. Alex, the owner of PEM, took our call and immediately made us feel at ease. He asked us the right questions to start diagnosing the issues and even agreed to come out and look at it himself (now that's a great owner/operator). When Alex arrived, the same day we called, he wore a mask, gloves, and even shoe covers to keep the home clean and germ-free. When he realized the severity of the situation and our need for immediate service, he agreed to do the work immediately and called in some backup. Before we knew it, the house was back and running in one day. He and his crew found multiple burnt wires and a circuit that wasn't operating as intended. My family and I appreciated the great work that done so much that we invited PEM in to do some upgrades and installation a week later. Great prices, great service, great people make for an excellent experience. THANK YOU Princeton Electrical Makeover for being caring, honest, and reliable!!!"

"The technicians were knowledgeable and were able to troubleshoot and repair the issue in a short amount of time. The company also offered same day service. The only issue I experienced was that scheduling was a bit difficult. Either due to availability of techs or mix-ups with appointment times, it took a few tries to find a day where they were able to perform the service. The price was much more reasonable than expected for diagnosis and maintenance and they rolled the diagnosis price into the total cost. They were even able to return after the work was finished to repair another minor issue. Overall I would hire DK Electrical Solutions again and recommend them to friends and family in the future."

"The electrician was very polite and professional. Didn't take any short cuts and was very knowledgeable. He got the work done in a timely matter and didn't drag out the job. I passed my inspection on the 1st time and the inspector even commented what a good job it was. Thank you to Vetter and there electrician Billy."

"I called this electrician independently from homeadvisor for a problem I was having with a switch. Juan came the next day and repaired it. I then hired him to do some other electrical work I had. He and workers arrived on time and finished in a couple of hours. The cost was the same as the estimate. Everything was cleaned. The only problem was the vanity light, whose box had to be moved. The repair to the drywall was not done well and I had to redo that myself. It was not placed in the spot I wanted due to some miscommunication. Juan promptly came back and moved the box again and repaired the drywall. I would hire him again for other projects."

"Javi and his team are great to work with. They were very accommodating and even took personal time to make sure I got my ceiling fans installed the day before my party after there was a delay in shipment which was not their fault. Had all new wiring installed and new light fixtures. Came out beautifully. Highly recommend!"

FAQs for electrical wiring or panel upgrade projects in Hightstown, 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.
