Company Overview

KB Electric is a Bloomfield-based, family-run electrical service with deep community roots. Founded in 1992 by owner Keith Ballentine, a Montclair High School graduate, the business was built on a foundation of local apprenticeship and union training. Keith started his career working for a respected local electrician, instilling a lasting commitment to the motto "Perfect is plenty good enough." After gaining extensive experience in both residential and large-scale commercial projects, he established KB Electric, which has steadily served Essex County for over three decades. Today, the company operates as a tight-knit team, focusing on quality over quantity. They specialize in comprehensive electrical solutions—from routine repairs and panel upgrades to knob and tube remediation and EV charger installations—always prioritizing clear communication, whether working directly with homeowners or alongside general contractors.

FAQs

As a Bloomfield homeowner, I'm concerned about flickering lights and tripped breakers. Can KB Electric help diagnose these common local issues?

Absolutely. Flickering lights and frequent breaker trips in older Bloomfield homes are often caused by loose connections or an overloaded panel, which can be a fire hazard. Our team is very familiar with these local electrical systems. We start with a thorough inspection to identify the root cause, whether it's aging wiring, insufficient capacity for modern appliances, or faulty connections. We then provide a clear explanation and a reliable fix, such as tightening connections, adding dedicated circuits, or recommending a panel upgrade to ensure your home's electrical system is safe and meets current demands.

My home still has old knob and tube wiring. Does KB Electric have experience safely replacing it?

Yes, knob and tube remediation is one of our core specialties. As a licensed and bonded contractor serving the area since 1992, we have extensive experience safely upgrading these outdated systems in Bloomfield and surrounding communities. We understand the specific challenges and insurance requirements involved. Our process involves a complete evaluation, careful removal of the old wiring, and installation of a modern, code-compliant system that improves safety and allows for the use of today's electronics and appliances. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your home.

Can you install an electric vehicle charger at my home, and what does that involve?

Yes, we regularly install residential EV charging stations. The process begins with an assessment of your home's electrical panel to ensure it can handle the added load. For many homes, this is straightforward, but some older panels may need an upgrade—another service we provide. We'll discuss your charging needs, recommend a suitable charger location, handle all permits and wiring, and ensure the installation is up to code. This is a practical upgrade we're doing more often for local families making the switch to electric vehicles.
