Common questions

What areas does Pascale Electric serve?: We work out of 130 Kinderkamack Road, Park Ridge, NJ 07656, and our core service area is Park Ridge and the Pascack Valley — Woodcliff Lake, Montvale, Hillsdale, River Vale, Westwood, Washington Township, Emerson, and Oradell — plus northern Bergen County towns including Upper Saddle River, Saddle River, Franklin Lakes, Wyckoff, Allendale, and Ramsey. That list is where we work most often, not a hard boundary. If you're nearby, call (201) 391-7759 and we'll tell you honestly whether we're the right shop for the job.
Do you handle both residential and commercial electrical work?: Yes — both, equally. On the residential side that means service and panel upgrades, EV chargers, generators, renovation and addition wiring, lighting, and service calls. On the commercial side it means tenant fit-outs, LED and lighting retrofits, parking-lot and pole lighting, standby generators, new construction, and ongoing service for local businesses. We have run both sides of the business for decades.
Are estimates free?: Yes. We give free estimates, and we give them after actually looking at the work — the panel, the service entrance, the run, the access. Anyone quoting a firm number for a panel upgrade or a generator over the phone is guessing. Call (201) 391-7759 or send a request through our contact page and we'll set up a look.
Do you pull the permits and handle inspections?: Yes. Electrical work in New Jersey falls under the state Uniform Construction Code, and most real work — panel and service upgrades, new circuits, EV chargers, generators, solar tie-ins — requires a permit from your town. We file the permit and coordinate the municipal electrical inspection so the work is documented and closed out properly. That matters later: unpermitted electrical work turns up during home sales and can complicate insurance claims.
What makes a local electrician better than a big regional company?: Two practical things. First, the utilities here are not uniform — parts of northern Bergen County are PSE&G, several Pascack Valley towns are Rockland Electric (Orange & Rockland), and Park Ridge runs its own municipal electric department — so knowing who to coordinate a service upgrade with saves real time. Second, each town runs its own construction office with its own inspection days and portal. A shop that files in these towns every week gets your job scheduled instead of stalled.
How quickly can you get to my house?: It depends on the town and the day. Our shop is in Park Ridge, so the Pascack Valley towns are a short drive; the northern Bergen towns are a bit farther. Call (201) 391-7759 and we'll give you a real answer for your address rather than a slogan.
How do I know if my electrical panel needs to be replaced?: The clearest signs: a fuse box rather than breakers; a panel labeled Federal Pacific (Stab-Lok) or Zinsco, both of which are recognized failure hazards common in 1950s–70s North Jersey homes; breakers that trip repeatedly; a panel that is warm, rusted, or has no room left; or plans that add a large load — an EV charger, heat pump, central air, electric range, or a finished basement. A load calculation tells you whether you need a 150- or 200-amp service.
Is Pascale Electric licensed and insured?: Yes — we are a licensed New Jersey electrical contractor and carry insurance. Electrical contracting in New Jersey is regulated by the State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors, and a permit can only be filed by a licensed contractor. Ask any electrician for their license and insurance before work starts; a legitimate shop will hand it over without hesitation.
Which electric utility serves my town?: It varies across northern Bergen County, which surprises a lot of homeowners. Much of the county is PSE&G, but several Pascack Valley and northwest Bergen towns are served by Rockland Electric Company (Orange & Rockland / Con Edison), and Park Ridge is unusual in owning its own municipal electric department. Check the coverage table above for your town — it matters because service upgrades, meter swaps, and generator or EV interconnections are coordinated with whoever actually owns the wires.
Do I need a permit for electrical work in my town?: Almost certainly, if it is more than a like-for-like fixture swap. New Jersey Uniform Construction Code permits are issued by each municipality, so Park Ridge, Montvale, Westwood, and the rest each run their own construction office, fee schedule, and inspection calendar. Every town page on this site lists that town’s construction office and, where we could verify it, its electrical inspection days. We handle the filing.
Do you charge more for towns farther from Park Ridge?: Distance is one of many factors in an estimate, and the honest answer is that the job itself — panel location, the length of the run, wall and ceiling access, the service entrance, utility coordination — drives far more of the price than the drive does. We'll walk you through what's driving your number when we quote it. Call (201) 391-7759.
Can you work on a home you have never been to before?: Of course — most first calls are new customers. What helps is that we already know the housing stock here: the 1950s–70s splits and ranches with undersized services, the pre-war colonials that can still hide knob-and-tube, the 1965–73 homes with aluminum branch circuits, and the newer large-lot builds with pools, well pumps, and generators. Knowing what to expect behind the wall before we open it makes for a more accurate estimate.
