About Positive Electric in Cedar Knolls, NJ

Frequent short circuits in older homes are often a sign of aging or overloaded wiring. We recommend a professional electrical inspection first. Our electricians will identify the root cause, which could be faulty wiring, outdated circuits, or damaged insulation. Based on the findings, we can provide a safe repair or replacement plan to bring your electrical system up to modern standards, preventing future hazards and improving reliability.

Arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs) are designed to trip when they detect dangerous electrical arcs, common in older wiring or with certain appliances. While it's a safety feature, nuisance trips are frustrating. We can diagnose the specific cause—whether it's a wiring issue, a faulty device, or an overloaded circuit—and perform the necessary repair. Sometimes, the solution is repairing a wire; other times, it may involve installing a compatible AFCI or addressing the circuit load. We ensure the fix resolves the trip while maintaining your home's safety.

Given our local weather and the inconvenience of power outages, a home generator is a valuable investment for many Cedar Knolls residents.

We'll assess your home's power needs, recommend the right size and type of generator, handle the permitting and installation, and provide ongoing maintenance to ensure it's ready when you need it most.
