Electrician in Edison, NJ
Licensed Residential Electrical Contractor in Edison, NJ
Looking for a dependable electrician in Edison, NJ? JDP Electric is a licensed, bonded, and insured residential contractor with 18+ years of experience handling panel upgrades, EV chargers, lighting, and repairs.
One of the largest townships in Middlesex County, the namesake of Thomas Edison himself is a sprawling community of distinct sections, from the mid-century streets of Stelton and Clara Barton to the historic Menlo Park area and the bustling Oak Tree Road corridor. Much of the housing dates to the 1950s and 1960s, with newer subdivisions mixed throughout, so electrical conditions vary widely across town. JDP Electric works across all of it, modernizing older services and wiring newer homes to NEC-2020 standards while handling permits through the township.
A township this size rewards a contractor who recognizes how each section was built. A postwar Cape in one neighborhood has very different needs than a newer colonial in another, and we scope each project to the home in front of us rather than a generic checklist. That local familiarity saves homeowners time, avoids surprises, and keeps inspections on track.
The hundreds of five-star reviews we have earned reflect that tailored, careful approach.
Electrical Services We Provide
Electrical Panel Upgrades
Mid-century homes here were wired for a fraction of today's electrical load. A modern electrical panel upgrade restores capacity for central air, EV charging, and additions, and we manage the full inspection process.
EV Charger Installation
With several train stations and easy highway access encouraging electric vehicles, home charging is in high demand. Our home EV charger installation includes a load evaluation, correct circuit sizing, and clean installation for Tesla Wall Connectors and other Level 2 units.
Recessed & Decorative Lighting
From kitchens to finished basements, we install recessed lighting, under-cabinet fixtures, and dimmers that modernize older rooms and make everyday spaces brighter and more comfortable, all wired cleanly and to code.
Electrical Remodeling
Updating a kitchen or finishing a basement? Our remodeling and renovation wiring adds circuits, outlets, and lighting that pass inspection.
Pool, Hot Tub & Outdoor Wiring
Backyards get code-compliant pool and hot tub wiring with proper grounding, bonding, and GFCI protection.
Troubleshooting & Repairs
Tripping breakers, dead outlets, and flickering lights in older wiring get diagnosed at the source and fixed safely, and we explain exactly what caused the problem so the repair holds up for the long term.

Local Expertise Across the Township
Because the township grew in distinct sections across different decades, electrical needs differ from one neighborhood to the next. The older streets of Stelton, Clara Barton, and Menlo Park often need grounding and capacity upgrades, with mature trees and 50-year-old systems common, while newer subdivisions more often need EV circuits and dedicated circuits for modern equipment. We know these patterns and the township's inspection standards, so we can anticipate what a home in a given section is likely to need and plan the work accordingly before we ever start.
Areas and neighborhoods we serve include:
- Clara Barton
- Stelton
- the Menlo Park area
- North Edison
- South Edison and Piscatawaytown
- the Oak Tree Road corridor
Common Electrical Concerns in Township Homes
A township this large and varied sees a wide range of electrical needs:
Mid-century capacity limits. Homes from the postwar boom were wired for far lighter loads than families use today. Service upgrades solve this at the root.
Aging panels and connections. Fifty-year-old panels and connections in older sections can wear out. We replace what no longer meets current safety standards.
EV-readiness. Many homeowners want a Level 2 charger. A quick load evaluation confirms what the panel can support before anything is installed.
Insufficient circuits. Finished basements, additions, and home offices often need dedicated circuits, which we add cleanly and to code.
