The Thomas Edison difference
Your Electricians in Mercer County
Thomas Edison Electric's Mercer County electricians are local to the county, not visitors to it. They are our own people, not subcontractors. Each rolls out from home in a stocked TEE van. That covers Trenton, Princeton, Hopewell, Pennington, Hightstown and Titusville alike. We hold New Jersey electrical license 34EB01791600, stay fully insured, and are a multigenerational, family-owned company.
Thomas Edison Electric has completed more than 37,000 jobs since 2021 on both sides of the river. In Mercer County that means a lot of 1960s-era wiring, a different construction office in every town, and two electric utilities. We know how each of those works, and we put every price in writing before we begin.
Based around the county
Our Mercer County crews dispatch from their own homes in stocked TEE vans. So we schedule jobs quickly and arrive when we say we will.
Licensed in New Jersey
We work under NJ electrical license 34EB01791600, fully insured, so your permit and inspection in Princeton or Hightstown go through cleanly.
PSE&G and JCP&L coordination
We handle the disconnect and reconnect scheduling with your utility for service upgrades and meter work. You make one call, to us.
1969-era specialists
Aluminum branch wiring, full 100-amp panels and ungrounded outlets are standard finds in Mercer County houses, and we fix them the right way.
Flood-smart
With Trenton's floodplain history, we inspect water-damaged panels and wiring before anyone flips a breaker, and we install surge protection that lasts.
Honest on price and time
Written quote before work starts. If we are late, we waive the dispatch fee. Financing available for larger projects.
Committed to Your Complete Satisfaction
We're dedicated to building lasting relationships with every client through exceptional service and guaranteed results.

Electrical Service Across Mercer County
Most of Mercer County gets its electricity from PSE&G, with Jersey Central Power & Light serving some areas. For you, the difference shows up when we upgrade a service or replace a meter pan. The utility has to disconnect and reconnect, and we schedule that with PSE&G or JCP&L on your behalf. Outages and downed wires are theirs. Anything from the meter into the house, the panel, the circuits, the outlets, is ours to fix.
The typical Mercer County home dates to around 1969. Houses from that period often still carry aluminum branch-circuit wiring and a 100-amp panel that is out of room. Two-prong outlets with no ground are common too. None of that is a crisis by itself. But it is exactly what causes warm switch plates, tripped breakers and failed home inspections. We correct it to current New Jersey code.
One more thing about this county. Trenton and the Delaware River floodplain have a history of flooding from tropical storms and nor'easters. Water and electrical panels do not mix. If your basement has taken on water, do not reset breakers and hope. Call us for a post-flood inspection. We also serve Bucks County across the river and neighboring Burlington County.
Common Electrical Projects in Mercer County Homes
A house from around 1969 in Hopewell, Pennington or Hightstown carries wiring for a different life. These are the projects we handle most often.
Aluminum wiring remediation. Late-1960s builders used aluminum for branch circuits. The connections loosen and heat up over time. We inspect, repair with approved connectors, or rewire where it makes sense.
Panel upgrades from 100 amps. A 200-amp panel gives you room for central air, a heat pump and a car charger without daily breaker trips.
Grounding two-prong outlets so your electronics stay protected and your home inspection passes.
EV charger installation. We install Level 2 home chargers on dedicated circuits. A Mercer County home on 100-amp service often needs a panel upgrade to support one.
Standby generators and surge protection. In a county with a flood history, a backup generator with an automatic transfer switch earns its keep.
Permits, Inspections and Your Utility in Mercer County
New Jersey handles electrical permits differently from Pennsylvania. Under the state's Uniform Construction Code, the municipal construction office in each town issues permits. Each municipality sets its own sub-code official and process. A panel change in Trenton and one in Hopewell go through two different offices. We file the paperwork and schedule the inspection, so the job closes out fully documented for the day you sell.
Your utility is a separate relationship. PSE&G serves most Mercer County addresses, and JCP&L serves others. Either way, service upgrades and meter work require a coordinated disconnect and reconnect that we arrange. If the whole block is dark, call the utility. If it is just your house, or just one floor, or a panel that hums or smells hot, call us. We answer 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Mercer County Electrical FAQs
Are you licensed to work in New Jersey?
Yes. Thomas Edison Electric holds New Jersey electrical contractor license 34EB01791600 and stays fully insured. Our Mercer County electricians work for us, and they live around the county. They leave from home in stocked vans. We have worked in Trenton, Princeton and the surrounding towns for years. We file permits under our New Jersey license.
My basement in Trenton flooded. Is my electrical panel safe?
Do not assume so. Trenton and the river towns have a real flood history. A panel or outlets that once sat underwater can corrode and fail later, even if they seem to work now. Leave the power off at the main if you safely can. Then call us for a post-flood inspection before anyone resets breakers.
How do I know if my Mercer County home has aluminum wiring?
Homes built in the late 1960s are the prime suspects, and the typical Mercer County house dates to about 1969. Look for the letters AL or ALUMINUM printed on cable jackets in the basement or attic, or call us. A licensed electrician can confirm it in one visit and lay out repair options in writing.
Who pulls the permit for a panel upgrade, you or me?
We do. Each Mercer County town has its own construction office under the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code. The permit and inspection are part of our job. We also coordinate the disconnect and reconnect with PSE&G or JCP&L. Your written quote lists every one of those steps so there are no surprises.
