Electrical work for Chatham Township homes
The township includes part of Green Village and borders Chatham Borough, Madison, Harding and Long Hill.
In Chatham Township, 34% of homes were built before 1960 and 7% before 1940, with a median construction year of 1974 (Census ACS 2020-2024). Homes from the 1960s and 1970s call for a close look at both the wiring and the panel. Some built between about 1965 and 1973 have aluminum branch wiring that needs approved connectors at every device, and original panels frequently have no spaces left.
Single-family houses represent 67% of Chatham Township homes; the remainder are townhouses, multi-family homes and apartments. In a house with a garage, a Level 2 charger is usually straightforward once we confirm the panel has capacity, while shared buildings require additional planning.

FAQ
Chatham Township electrical questions
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Chatham Township?
In New Jersey, replacing a switch, outlet or light fixture with a like-for-like part is generally treated as minor work. New circuits, panel and service upgrades, EV chargers, generators and rewiring require an electrical permit and inspection under the NJ Uniform Construction Code, issued by the construction office that serves the Township of Chatham. We file the permit and meet the inspector.
My Chatham Township house was built in the 1960s or 1970s. What should I have checked?
Start with the panel and the wiring. Panels from that era may be full or made by manufacturers with known defects, and some homes wired between about 1965 and 1973 have aluminum branch wiring. We can evaluate both and advise you on what should be addressed now and what can wait.
Can you install an EV charger in a Chatham Township 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.
