Electrical Installation, Service & Repair in Moorestown, NJ
Moorestown has a real mix: stately Main Street properties, mid-century homes around Strawbridge Lake, and newer construction east of 295. We adjust the install method to fit the house — we don't run the same surface conduit through a 1920s plaster wall that we'd run through new drywall.
Whole-house generator installations done correctly
A standby generator is two trades stitched together — gas and electric. We coordinate with the gas plumber on line sizing (a 22kW Generac needs roughly 250 cubic feet/hour at 7" WC), pour or set the composite pad with the proper setback from windows and combustion-air openings, and run the load conductors and control wiring in conduit. The transfer switch is sized to the load, not just to whatever was on the box.
• Generac, Kohler, and Briggs & Stratton dealer-quality installs
• Service-rated automatic transfer switches (no separate disconnect needed)
• Smart load management for 200A homes that don't need 400A service
• Annual maintenance contracts with oil, filter, valve clearance check
Historic-home rewires without trashing the plaster
The older homes around Main Street and Chester Avenue were built before grounded wiring was standard. We rewire from the basement and attic in, fishing MC cable down stud bays and using the existing ceiling box locations whenever possible. Where we have to open a wall, we cut clean rectangles for patch-ready repair — not the jagged holes you see on a lot of bid jobs.
Moorestown inspection workflow
Moorestown Township uses a third-party agency for electrical sub-code. Inspections are typically next-day or two-day. For generators we book the rough and the final on the same week the gas inspection is scheduled so you're not without power on a temporary tap.
Materials for the 'I can see the conduit' rooms
When a basement or workshop run has to be exposed, we use EMT (steel conduit) with compression couplings, run square and level along the joist face — not the snake-trail of NM cable you see in a lot of finished basements. It looks intentional, it's NEC-compliant, and it lets you add circuits in five years without ripping anything out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a 22kW generator or will a 14kW handle my house?
Depends on the load profile. We measure it. If you have central AC, an electric range, an electric dryer, and a well pump, a 14kW will load-shed those circuits — meaning you can't run them all at once during an outage. A 22kW with a service-rated ATS runs the whole house with no shedding. We size to your actual load calc, then show you the math.
Can you rewire a Moorestown historic home without removing all the plaster?
Yes — that's the entire point of how we do these jobs. We pull from the attic and basement, fish through stud bays, and reuse existing box locations. Typical wall openings are 4"x4" cut clean for patching. A full second-floor rewire usually takes 5–7 working days with one or two patch-and-paint days at the end.
Are you actually licensed in New Jersey, or just 'insured'?
Both. DK Electrical Solutions holds an active New Jersey Electrical Contractor license under a Master Electrician of record, plus general liability and workers' comp. We hand the license number and COI to any homeowner or GC who asks before we pull the first permit.
