Electrical work for Englewood Cliffs homes
Half of the homes in Englewood Cliffs were built in 1969 or earlier, and 4% date from before 1940 (30% from before 1960, according to the Census ACS 2020-2024). Many homes here date from the 1960s and 1970s. Some wired between about 1965 and 1973 have aluminum branch wiring, which requires approved connectors at every outlet and switch, and the original panels are often full.
Of the homes in Englewood Cliffs, 93% are single-family houses, so most residents have a garage or driveway suited to a Level 2 EV charger. The deciding factor is usually panel capacity, which we confirm before quoting.
A standby generator is well suited to a house on its own lot in Englewood Cliffs. We size it to the circuits you cannot do without, install the transfer switch and handle the permit, while a licensed plumber or your gas supplier makes the fuel connection where required.
Every project in Englewood Cliffs 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 Bergen County as well.

FAQ
Englewood Cliffs electrical questions
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Englewood Cliffs?
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 Borough of Englewood Cliffs. We file the permit and meet the inspector.
My Englewood Cliffs 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.
Is a standby generator worth it in Englewood Cliffs?
That depends on what you need to keep running. If you rely on a well pump, a sump pump or medical equipment, a standby unit with an automatic transfer switch is the most convenient option. A portable generator with a code-compliant inlet and interlock costs considerably less, and we are glad to quote both.
