Local Electricians You Can Rely On

When you look for an electrician Hoboken residents can trust, you want a company that is qualified, that understands local buildings and codes, and that will treat your home with care. This is where our history and local focus matter.

Malfettone Electric is licensed and insured, and we have been working in Hudson County since 1977. Over the years, our team has worked in brownstones near Washington Street, newer condos along the waterfront, and mixed use properties throughout the city. We understand how older wiring, limited panels, and past renovations can affect safety and reliability.

We operate as a one stop shop for your electrical projects. Our electricians can troubleshoot loss of power, add new circuits, install or update lighting, and handle the electrical side of EV charging and solar systems. You do not have to coordinate several contractors to get one project completed, which saves time and reduces confusion.

We also recognize that electrical work is a personal service. You are inviting us into your home or property, and you deserve to know who you are working with and what to expect. That is why we encourage you to speak with us by phone about your situation and your budget. We offer both video and in person consultations, so you can choose what fits your schedule and comfort level.

Electrical Services for Hoboken Homes

Many homes and apartments here were built long before today’s electrical demands. It is common to see older wiring, small panels, and outlets that were never designed for modern appliances, electronics, and air conditioning. Renovations over the years can also leave hidden issues that only show up when the system is under load.

We provide residential electrical service that addresses these real world conditions. Our team can investigate tripping breakers, flickering lights, outlets that feel warm, or rooms that never seem to have enough power. When we inspect your system, we look at how the panel, circuits, and visible wiring work together, then explain what we see and what your options are.

In many properties, increasing capacity is a key step. This might mean upgrading your panel, adding dedicated circuits for large appliances, or improving grounding and bonding. In other cases, targeted repairs and improvements can restore safety and reliability without a full upgrade. We always work to match the solution to your building, your plans, and your budget.

Some of the residential electrical services we provide include:

• Panel evaluations and upgrades to support additional loads
• New circuits for kitchens, laundry rooms, and home offices
• Indoor and outdoor lighting installation or replacement
• Troubleshooting outages, tripping breakers, and damaged wiring
• Safety improvements such as GFCI and AFCI protection where appropriate

Working in rowhouses, condos, and multi unit buildings often requires coordination with property managers or boards. We are accustomed to these situations. We communicate clearly about access, potential power shutoffs, and scheduling so that you, and anyone else affected, know what will happen and when. Our electricians protect floors and surfaces as we work and clean up before we leave, so you are not left with a mess after the job.

EV Charging & Solar Electrical Work

If you are adding an electric vehicle or considering solar, your electrical system needs to support that change. The right design helps your charger or solar equipment work reliably and safely, without constantly tripping breakers or overloading the panel. Our team helps you understand what is possible in your specific building.

With EV charging in particular, we look at your existing panel size, current loads, and where you can place the charger. In Hoboken, this might be a private driveway, a small attached garage, or a shared parking area in a condo building. We discuss these details with you and, when needed, help you talk through requirements with building management or a board.

Solar systems also need thoughtful electrical planning. We can handle the electrical connections that tie your solar equipment into the service panel and the rest of the home. Our goal is to help the system operate smoothly with your existing wiring, rather than treating it as an isolated add on.

When to Call an Electrician

Some electrical issues are inconvenient. Others can indicate a safety concern. Knowing when to bring in a professional electrician helps protect your property and the people in it. If you are unsure, we would rather you call and ask than ignore a potential problem.

Warning signs can include breakers that trip repeatedly, dimming or flickering lights, outlets that feel hot, or a burning smell near electrical devices. You might also notice that you rely heavily on power strips and extension cords because you never seem to have enough outlets. In older buildings, these issues can be a sign that the system is working beyond what it was designed to handle.

There is also risk in do it yourself electrical work or hiring unlicensed help, especially in multi unit buildings where a mistake can affect several homes. As a licensed and insured company, we follow electrical codes and safety practices that are there to protect you. We work to provide solutions that meet current standards, rather than quick fixes that create problems later.

If you are planning a renovation, buying an EV, or simply worried about how your system is performing, reaching out early can save time and expense. We are available to discuss your situation, answer questions, and help you decide whether an in person or video visit is the right next step.
