Homes in Bloomfield
Electrical work for Bloomfield homes
We upgrade these systems and add the circuits a modern kitchen, home office or EV requires, including in the township's many two-family houses.
Half of the homes in Bloomfield were built in 1950 or earlier, and 38% date from before 1940 (64% from before 1960, according to the Census ACS 2020-2024). Homes of that age may still contain knob-and-tube or ungrounded two-wire circuits, a 60- or 100-amp service, and too few kitchen and bathroom circuits. Before quoting a rewire or service upgrade, we inspect the wiring and the panel so that the estimate reflects the actual scope of work.
In Bloomfield, just 41% of homes are single-family houses. For residents of condominiums, apartments and two-family homes, an EV charger requires approval from the association or landlord and a review of the meters, and we help coordinate both.
Every project in Bloomfield (including Brookdale, Watsessing) is handled by the owner, Justin Boyd, from the written quote to the final walkthrough. Boyd Electric is licensed (NJ Electrical Contractor Lic. #19247), insured and Marine veteran-owned, and serves the rest of Essex County as well.

FAQ
Bloomfield electrical questions
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Bloomfield?
For most substantive electrical work, yes. New circuits, panel or service upgrades, EV chargers, generators and rewiring all require a permit and inspection under the NJ Uniform Construction Code, issued through the construction office for the Township of Bloomfield. A like-for-like replacement of a switch, outlet or fixture generally does not. We obtain the permit and meet the inspector.
Do older homes in Bloomfield still have knob-and-tube wiring?
Some do. With 38% of Bloomfield homes built before 1940, original knob-and-tube or ungrounded circuits are still found, often in attics, walls and ceilings that were left untouched during later renovations. Insurers frequently ask about it as well. We can inspect the house, identify which circuits remain active, and quote replacement in stages or as a single project.
Can you install an EV charger in a Bloomfield condo or multi-family home?
In many cases, yes. We evaluate capacity at your panel or meter bank, plan the circuit route to your parking space, and obtain approval from your association or landlord before filing the permit.
