- Electrician in Essex Fells
Median home built 1954
Essex Fells is a small, almost entirely residential borough of Tudors, colonials and stone houses on wooded lots, many dating from its original development in the early 1900s.
- Electrician in Glen Ridge
Median home built 1938
Glen Ridge still lights its streets with gas lamps, and more than four in five of its homes were built before 1940, giving it some of the oldest housing in North Jersey.
- Electrician in Livingston
Median home built 1962
Most of Livingston was built after World War II, so its streets are lined with 1950s and 1960s colonials, ranches and split-levels, many of them expanded since.
- Electrician in Millburn
Median home built 1954
Millburn Township, which includes Short Hills, is known for large Tudors, colonials and stone houses from the early 1900s, with the Paper Mill Playhouse downtown.
- Electrician in Montclair
Median home built 1938
Many older Montclair homes need rewiring or a service upgrade before they can support an EV charger, new lighting or a remodel, and that work must respect how the house was originally built.

Seton Hall University is located in South Orange, along with large Victorian, Tudor and colonial homes in neighborhoods such as Montrose Park and Newstead.
- Electrician in West Orange

Commercial electricalWhy Boyd Electric
One owner, on every job
01
You speak with the electrician
The first call, the site visit and the work itself are all handled by Justin Boyd, the licensed electrician who owns the company. No sales representative relays your questions, and no crew you have never met arrives in his place.
02
A clear written quote
Before any work starts, you receive a clear written quote for the job. If the scope changes once the job is under way, the change is explained and agreed with you before the work continues.
03
Built to code and inspected
Permits are obtained wherever your municipality requires them, the work follows the New Jersey electrical code, and required inspections are scheduled as part of the job rather than left to you.
04
A Marine's accountability
Justin served in the U.S. Marine Corps and runs the company with the same discipline: clear updates on schedule and progress, a clean work area when the job is done, and his own name on every job.
