Can you install smart switches in my home?

Yes, and we work with all the major brands. Most smart switches need a neutral wire in the box, which older houses sometimes do not have, so we check before you buy a dozen of them.

Outlet and Switch Work in NJ

Not every job is a panel replacement. Much of what we do in a given week involves outlets and switches, including a GFCI in a bathroom that never had one, a dedicated circuit for a home office or a window air conditioner, a 240V outlet for a dryer or a car, two-prong outlets replaced with grounded ones, and dimmers and smart switches.

Trapani Electric does this work across Morris, Passaic, Essex, Bergen, and Union Counties, in older houses and new ones. Every outlet and switch is installed to the current New Jersey code, which for the most part means the correct protection in each room.

FAQs

Common Questions

What does it cost to add an outlet?

The price depends on the distance between the new outlet and an existing circuit, and on whether the wall is open or finished. We provide a written price in advance, even for one outlet.

Do I need GFCI outlets?

New Jersey code requires GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, basements, outdoors, and anywhere near water. Older homes often do not have it, and inspectors flag that at the time of sale.

Can you replace my two-prong outlets with three-prong?

Yes, although it depends on what is in the wall. If there is a ground wire, we install a standard grounded outlet. If there is no ground wire, a GFCI outlet is the code-approved way to do it without rewiring.

What is a dedicated circuit and do I need one?

A dedicated circuit feeds one outlet or appliance and nothing else. Code requires them for equipment such as ranges, dryers, and EV chargers, and they are a good idea for space heaters, window air conditioners, and a home office full of equipment.
