Electrical Services for Fair Lawn Homes and Businesses
Panel and Service Upgrades
Homeowners in Fair Lawn rely on Grounded Electric for safe, code-compliant panel upgrades, wiring, outlet installations, and whole-home surge protection. Panel or meter upgrade labor runs $1,000 to $2,500, and rises if the job needs utility coordination or service line work.
Many Fair Lawn homes, especially in the Radburn section, date to the 1950s, and older panels and wiring are common in that housing stock. We also offer electrical home safety inspections for homes that haven’t been checked in years.
Standby Generators
We install and maintain whole-home Generac generators, typically $12,000 to $20,000 depending on house size, plus a generator maintenance plan at about $425 a year that includes routine checks and emergency support. Not sure what size you need? See our Generac sizing guide and our breakdown of generator installation costs in NJ.
We don’t install portable generators. Robert “Bobby” Mulholland brings over 30 years of hands-on experience to every generator and service upgrade job.
EV Charger Installation
Grounded Electric installs Level 2 EV chargers for homes and businesses, starting with a dedicated circuit and a check of your panel’s available capacity. See our guide to EV charger installation in NJ and current EV charger rebates.
Lighting and Smart Controls
From kitchen LEDs to office ceiling lights, our lighting work includes smart timers, motion sensors, and high-efficiency LED fixtures. For whole-home control, we install Lutron systems, with 3 to 5 room setups typically running $6,000 to $12,000.
See our smart home installation services in Bergen County. We also install and wire smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, and basic security systems, each tested after installation to confirm it works.
Commercial Electrical Work
We help local Fair Lawn businesses maintain reliable electrical systems, from office lighting to retail build-outs, meeting code and reducing downtime. See our commercial lighting services. Barret Abramow oversees every commercial project.
We also serve nearby towns, including panel upgrades in Ridgewood and generator maintenance in Wyckoff.

I am very impressed by Grounded Electric. We moved into our home 3 weeks ago and needed 2 service calls for various fixture and wiring issues. While they were working they educated me regarding the wiring set up in this new home. That are honest and saved us from some needless work. When we had a possible emergency the owners of the company came within 24 hours to assess and fix the problem. Again they shared a lot of information and educated us about this home. They will be our first call for all things electric going forward. I highly recommend!!
