Integrated Electrical Solutions is a licensed New Jersey electrical contractor founded by Corey Gilman. With more than 14 years of experience, we provide residential and commercial electrical services throughout Mercer County, including Hamilton, Trenton, Princeton, Ewing, Lawrence, West Windsor, Robbinsville, East Windsor, Hopewell, and surrounding communities.

Mercer County has some of the oldest housing stock in central New Jersey. Trenton rowhomes and Princeton historic homes sit a few miles from post-war Hamilton neighborhoods and newer West Windsor and Robbinsville developments. Our work here reflects that range: knob-and-tube and legacy panel replacement, capacity upgrades for modern loads, and careful work in older and historic homes.

Electrical Services We Provide in Mercer County

We handle the full range of electrical work Mercer County homes and businesses need, with particular depth in these areas:

Electrical Panel Upgrades

Many Mercer County homes still run on 60-amp or 100-amp services, fuse boxes, or panels that were never designed for today's loads. We upgrade services to 200 amps (and 200 to 400 amps for larger homes), replace Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels, convert fuse boxes, and prepare panels for generators and EV chargers. A typical job covers the panel, meter work when required, grounding and bonding, labeling, and coordination with the utility and inspector. These upgrades are especially common in Hamilton, Ewing, and Lawrence homes adding heat pumps, finished basements, or Level 2 chargers.

Whole-Home Rewiring & Knob-and-Tube Replacement

Knob-and-tube wiring is still found in older Trenton, Princeton, Hamilton, and Pennington homes, often spliced into later additions. We also see cloth-insulated cable, aluminum branch wiring from roughly 1965 to 1973, and ungrounded two-prong circuits. We plan rewires to minimize wall and plaster damage, and handle partial rewiring during renovations when a full rewire isn't practical yet.

Generator Installation

Whole-home standby generators and automatic transfer switches are frequent requests after extended outages, particularly in wooded Hopewell, Lawrence, and Princeton neighborhoods where tree damage takes down lines. We size the generator to the home's actual loads, install the transfer switch, and pair the job with a panel upgrade when the existing service can't support both.

Electrical Troubleshooting & Repair

Breakers that keep tripping, lights that flicker when the HVAC starts, warm outlets, or half the house losing power. We find the cause whether overloaded circuits, loose connections, failing breakers, or problems inside the panel. Instead of just resetting the breaker.

Lighting, Outdoor Electrical & Pool Systems

Interior and exterior lighting, weather-rated GFCI-protected outdoor receptacles, landscape and security lighting, and pool and spa electrical work that meets bonding and GFCI requirements.

Smoke & CO Detector Upgrades

Hardwired, interconnected smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, including the upgrades often required at resale.

Commercial Electrical Service

Tenant fit-outs, lighting retrofits, dedicated equipment circuits, and service upgrades for offices, retail, and light-industrial spaces along the Route 1, Route 130, and Route 33 corridors.

Emergency Electrical Service

We prioritize urgent calls such as total or partial power loss, burning smells, sparking, and hot or buzzing panels, because these involve active safety risks.

Electrical Problems Commonly Found in Mercer County Homes

Mercer County's mix of very old urban housing, post-war suburbs, and newer developments creates a recognizable set of issues. We regularly evaluate and correct the following:

Pre-War and Historic Homes

Trenton rowhomes and twins, older Hamilton and Ewing neighborhoods, and historic homes in Princeton, Pennington, and Hopewell Borough often still have knob-and-tube wiring, 60-amp services, and fuse boxes. Decades of add-on circuits, ungrounded outlets, and amateur splices are common. Plaster walls and historic trim call for careful routing so upgrades don't damage the home's character.

Post-War Suburban Homes (1950s–1980s)

Much of Hamilton, Ewing, Lawrence, and East Windsor was built in this era. We frequently find Federal Pacific Stab-Lok and Zinsco panels, marginal 100-amp services, aluminum branch wiring, and incomplete grounding. Many insurers flag or decline these panels at policy renewal or resale.

Capacity Shortfalls in Newer Developments

Homes built in the 1980s through early 2000s in West Windsor, Robbinsville, Hopewell Township, and East Windsor are newer, but many were built with 150- or 200-amp services sized before EV chargers, heat pumps, and home offices. Adding a Level 2 charger or converting from gas often requires a load calculation and sometimes a service upgrade.

Storm and Tree-Related Outages

Mature tree canopy in Princeton, Lawrence, and Hopewell means outages after summer storms and nor'easters. Damaged service drops, surge damage, and the need for reliable backup power are recurring concerns.

Rural Properties and Outbuildings

In Hopewell Township and other rural parts of the county, we handle long service runs, well pump circuits, detached garages, barns, and workshops that need properly sized feeders and grounding.

These are not abstract risks. They affect insurability, resale, renovation plans, and day-to-day safety. A proper evaluation identifies what is present and what actually needs attention.

Why Homeowners Choose Integrated Electrical Solutions

We have worked throughout central New Jersey for more than 14 years, and Mercer County is a straight shot from our Jackson Township base via I-195. Our New Jersey electrical contractor license is #34EB01852700.
Local factors we routinely handle include:

We perform the evaluation and the corrective work under one licensed contractor. Recommendations are based on observed conditions, load calculations, and code, not an upsell list. When a panel is serviceable and capacity is adequate, we say so.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle permits and inspections in Mercer County?

Yes. We pull the required electrical permits and coordinate inspections with the construction office in the municipality where the work is done.

Can you replace knob-and-tube wiring in an older home?

Yes. We evaluate how much knob-and-tube remains, what it is connected to, and whether a full or phased rewire makes sense. We route new wiring to limit damage to plaster and trim.

Do you work on historic homes in Princeton and other historic districts?

Yes. We plan interior work to protect original finishes. For exterior changes such as meter or service relocation, we coordinate with the homeowner on any local historic review before work begins.

Can you assess an older home before I buy, sell, or renovate?

Yes. Our assessments look for the panel, wiring, grounding, and capacity issues common in Mercer County's older homes and flag anything insurers or lenders are likely to raise.

Will my home need a panel upgrade for an EV charger?

It depends on your service size and existing loads. Many 100-amp homes need an upgrade; many 200-amp homes do not. A load calculation tells us which applies to your home.

Can you handle both residential and commercial jobs in Mercer County?

Absolutely. We provide full residential and commercial electrical services in every county we cover.
