Electrician in Bergen County, NJ
Trapani Electric is a licensed electrician working across Bergen County, including rewiring in the Victorian homes of Rutherford and standby generator installation in Franklin Lakes and Oakland.
Electrical Work Across Bergen County
Bergen County is about a 35 minute drive from Erik's base in Parsippany, and he works there most weeks. The type of work varies by area. Older boroughs such as Rutherford and Fair Lawn generally need service upgrades, rewiring, and grounding corrections. The wooded northern towns such as Franklin Lakes, Oakland, and Wyckoff more often call about standby generators, well pump circuits, and buried runs to detached garages.
Bergen County contains seventy municipalities, and each one runs its own building department. Permit requirements and inspection scheduling differ from one borough to the next. Permits are filed with the municipality where the work takes place, and inspections are scheduled where they are required.
The eastern side of the county, closer to Route 17 and the Garden State Parkway, has a higher share of two-family homes and converted properties. That work usually involves separate metering, subpanels, and bringing older service equipment up to current code before a sale closes.
Trapani Electric is veteran-owned, licensed under NJ Lic. #19268, and insured.
Common Electrical Work in Bergen County
We handle panel and service upgrades, two-family subpanels and separate metering, knob and tube replacement in the Victorian homes of Rutherford, standby generators and transfer switches, EV chargers, pool and well pump circuits, lighting, and the code corrections that come up when a house changes hands. Permits are filed with each borough and inspections are scheduled where required.
Generator work is a common request in the northern Bergen towns. Sizing the unit to the house, setting the pad, wiring the transfer switch, and the municipal inspection are all part of a standby generator installation. Franklin Lakes, Oakland, and Wyckoff sit under heavy tree cover, and outages long enough to matter are common enough that many homeowners there plan for them.
Panel and service upgrades are the other frequent job in this county. A house built in the 1950s or 1960s was wired for a fraction of the load a modern household puts on it. Adding central air conditioning, a kitchen renovation, a hot tub, or an EV charger is often what brings an existing panel to its limit.
Other Bergen County work includes hot tub and spa wiring, attic fan installation, home electrical inspections, and commercial generator installation.

What Customers Say
Erik was extremely thorough from start to finish, took the time to understand what we needed, answered all of my questions, and quickly provided a very detailed and transparent quote. Communication around scheduling was excellent, he showed up when he said he would, and the quality of the work was great. He even took care of a few extra things and didn't charge us for them.
After a storm damaged our outdoor wiring harness, we hired Erik to fix the issue. He did an outstanding job, demonstrating thoroughness and expertise. I highly recommend Erik to anyone in need of an electrician.
From start to finish the service and work that was done exceeded our expectations. We had ceiling fans installed in our bedrooms and outside soffit lighting put on our home which came out great. And we especially like that it is veteran owned.
