North Jersey homes have history. So does their wiring.
Many Hudson and Essex County homes are close to a century old. Vincent knows what's hiding behind those walls and how to bring it up to today's code without tearing the house apart.
- Undersized services. 60A and 100A services that can't keep up with central A/C, additions or an EV.
- Insurance-flagged panels. Federal Pacific (FPE) and Pushmatic replacements. Your premium may even go down.
- Insulation-ready rewiring. IC-rated recessed lights and rewiring so walls and attics can be safely insulated.

Common questions
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Phoenex Electric LLC holds New Jersey Electrical Contractor License #34EI01621900 and Business Permit #34EB01621900, and is fully bonded and insured. Vincent has been a New Jersey master electrician since 2008.
What happens if you can't find my problem?
That's the Troubleshooting Challenge: if Vincent can't find your electrical problem within one hour, you pay half price for the troubleshooting.
Do I need a panel upgrade to install an EV charger?
Not always. Before you buy an electric vehicle, have your system evaluated. We'll look at your service amperage (50 to 200 amps), building type, panel location and the charger you want, then determine the largest circuit your home can support.
I was told to replace my Federal Pacific or Pushmatic panel. Why?
Home inspectors and insurers often flag these panels because of inconsistent breaker performance and the way breakers connect to the panel. Replacing one improves safety, and many insurance companies will lower your premium afterward.
What areas do you serve?
Jersey City and surrounding North Jersey communities, including Hoboken, Bayonne, Weehawken, Union City, North Bergen, Newark, Elizabeth, North Arlington and Westfield.
Have an electrical issue others couldn't find?
Call Vincent directly. You'll talk to the licensed master electrician who'll actually do the work, not a dispatcher.
