The Thomas Edison difference
Princeton electricians from Thomas Edison Electric cover all five of the town's ZIP codes, 08540 through 08544, plus neighboring Hopewell and Pennington in Mercer County. Our crews dispatch from their own homes in fully stocked TEE vans, so a Princeton call does not wait on someone driving in from elsewhere.
Every electrician on staff is a direct employee, never a subcontractor, working under our New Jersey license 34EB01791600 and full insurance. We are a family-owned, multigenerational company with more than 37,000 jobs completed since 2021. Quotes are written before work begins, we answer around the clock, and a late arrival means the dispatch fee is on us.
From 08540 to 08544, our electricians dispatch from home to reach every part of Princeton.
Aluminum wiring and recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco panels are familiar territory.
No subcontractors, just our own electricians in fully stocked TEE vans.
Service upgrades and meter changes get scheduled with PSE&G as part of the job.
Nights, weekends and holidays reach the same licensed electrician as any weekday.
NJ license 34EB01791600, over 37,000 jobs completed since 2021, financing available.
We're dedicated to building lasting relationships with every client through exceptional service and guaranteed results.

Transparent pricing means written quotes with no surprises.
Princeton's median home dates to 1965, squarely in the era of aluminum branch wiring, 100-amp panels and two-prong outlets. A recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel is a routine find in houses from this period, so we check the panel label early in almost every visit.
Spread across five ZIP codes, Princeton covers more ground than most of the towns we serve nearby, and the housing stock varies block to block even though the era is fairly consistent. We adjust the recommendation to the specific panel and wiring we find, not a one-size answer for the whole town.
Mercer County sits near the Delaware River floodplain, which has flooded Trenton and surrounding towns during tropical storm remnants and heavy nor'easters. If water has ever reached a Princeton basement panel, have it inspected rather than just dried out.
A 1965 Princeton house usually needs the same short list of fixes: aluminum branch wiring remade with rated connectors, two-prong outlets grounded or given GFCI protection, and a recalled panel swapped for something current. A circuit breaker upgrade is often the anchor project once we find a Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel behind the door.
We also handle home EV charger installation, custom lighting design for renovated kitchens and additions, and electrical code violation corrections ahead of a sale or refinance. Because Princeton spans five ZIP codes, we treat every visit as its own inspection rather than assuming what a nearby street already told us.
Because Princeton spans five ZIP codes, we deal with the same construction office and the same utility no matter which one your address falls in. The municipal construction office reviews every electrical permit under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code, and we file under our license and stand in for the inspection so that step never depends on your schedule.
PSE&G supplies the electricity, and a bigger panel or a new dedicated circuit for a major appliance usually means they need to disconnect and reconnect at the meter, an appointment we set up directly. A citywide outage from a storm is theirs to restore. A panel that will not reset, any hour, is ours to fix.
Our Pennsylvania and New Jersey experts are ready to resolve your electrical woes.

I was really impressed with Don and Engeli and the work they performed for me. We had a discussion on the best way to run the new line for the septic pump and I really appreciated the extra effort they made to keep the esthetic of my home's exterior. They were pleasant and professional and all my fans and lights work great! They were patient and waited until I approved everything. A great team!

Had a back up generator installed by Dennis. He did a wonderful job. Dennis is very knowledgeable, thorough, patient and goes above and beyond. Will definitely be using Thomas Edison for all my electrical. Could not be happier.

Technician came out within an hour for an investigation late at night. The same technician came back the next morning and replaced the breaker panel, meter box, and ran new conduit up to the roof for the connections. Did a fantastic job and everything looks great. Thanks Arthur and Malcolm for your hard work!

Princeton Electrical FAQs
Yes. We work all five, 08540 through 08544, with electricians who dispatch from home rather than a distant office. Call 800-380-6800 and we will confirm coverage for your address before scheduling.
Aluminum branch wiring, a 100-amp panel and two-prong outlets are all typical, and a recalled Federal Pacific or Zinsco panel is worth checking for specifically. None of this is an emergency on its own, but a proper inspection catches it before a renovation adds new load on top.
PSE&G restores outages from storms and downed lines. If your neighbors have power and your house does not, or a breaker will not hold after the outage clears, that points to something inside your home, and that side is ours, any hour of the day.
Yes, and we handle it. Princeton's municipal construction office requires a permit and inspection for panel work under New Jersey's Uniform Construction Code. We file it under our own license and schedule the inspection so you are not the one managing the paperwork.
Use our online scheduler or call us anytime, 24/7
