The township also has a substantial commercial base. Office parks along I-80 and I-287 regularly need tenant fit-outs, lighting upgrades and dedicated equipment circuits.
According to the Census ACS 2020-2024, the median year built in Parsippany is 1969, with 5% of homes constructed before 1940 and 24% before 1960. 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 make up 51% of the homes in Parsippany, with townhouses, apartments and multi-family homes accounting for the rest. In a house, a charger installation depends mainly on panel capacity; in a shared building, approvals and metering come first.
Wooded lots near Lake Parsippany and Lake Hiawatha leave power lines vulnerable during storms. We install standby generators with automatic transfer switches, as well as inlet-and-interlock connections for portable units, so the well pump, sump pump, heat and refrigerator stay on.

FAQ
Parsippany electrical questions
Do I need a permit for electrical work in Parsippany?
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 Parsippany-Troy Hills. A like-for-like replacement of a switch, outlet or fixture generally does not. We obtain the permit and meet the inspector.
My Parsippany 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 Parsippany?
If an outage means losing your well, your sump pump or medical equipment, or if you live near the lake, where storms often bring down trees and lines, a standby generator with an automatic transfer switch is usually a worthwhile investment. If you are comfortable setting up a portable unit yourself, an inlet and interlock provides backup power at a much lower cost. We can price both for comparison.
