Installation, Rewiring & Repairs
CAM Electrical Services handles everything from single new circuits to full-home rewires throughout Brick Township and Ocean County. Owner Chris Mouritzen, NJ Electrical Contractor License #34EB01136500, has pulled, replaced, and repaired wiring in homes of every vintage Ocean County has to offer, from 1920s bungalows with knob-and-tube to post-Sandy rebuilds to brand-new construction.
Whether you need a single dedicated circuit for a new appliance, an aluminum wiring upgrade for safety, a full rewire of a 1960s ranch, or rough-in wiring for an addition, call (732) 228-2243 or request a free estimate.
Wiring Services We Provide
Dedicated Circuits for Appliances
Any appliance that draws significant power needs its own circuit. Window and wall AC units, induction cooktops, double ovens, washing machines, dryers, microwaves, hot tubs, EV chargers, and workshop tools all belong on dedicated circuits so they don't overload a shared one. We install dedicated circuits for appliances you already own or for the ones you're about to buy.
Full-Home Rewires
If your home still has original wiring from the 1960s or earlier, or if you've got cloth-covered wire, knob-and-tube, or degraded insulation, a full rewire replaces the entire branch circuit system with modern NM-B cable, proper grounding, and updated device boxes. It's a substantial project and we scope it honestly based on access, home layout, and finish conditions.
Partial Rewires
Not every home needs a full rewire. Sometimes one bad circuit, one room, or one wing of the house needs new wiring while the rest is fine. We can handle targeted rewires that solve the actual problem without tearing into walls you don't need to open.
Knob-and-Tube Removal
Older homes in Point Pleasant, parts of Brick, and older Toms River neighborhoods occasionally still have knob-and-tube wiring in attics and walls. It has no ground, it can't safely be buried in insulation, and most insurance companies charge significantly higher premiums or refuse coverage when it's present. We remove and replace it.
Rough-In Wiring for Additions & Renovations
New additions, finished basements, bump-outs, sunrooms, garages, detached workshops, and accessory buildings all need new wiring run before drywall goes up. We coordinate with your general contractor, pull the permits, rough in the circuits, and return for final device and fixture installation.
Low-Voltage Wiring
Doorbells, thermostats, security systems, smart home controllers, and network cabling fall under low voltage work. We handle it on the same service visit as the rest of your wiring.
Outdoor & Underground Wiring
Exterior lighting, pool equipment, sheds, detached garages, pergola lighting, landscape lighting, and any wiring that runs in conduit or underground. We use properly rated cable, conduit, and burial depths so the work passes inspection and lasts.
How We Approach A Whole-Home Rewire
If you end up rewiring your entire home, it's likely the biggest project your home will undergo. Our team is very experienced in this and knows exactly how to tackle it so that it's not only fast and efficient, but passes code.
1. Walk-Through & Assessment
We walk your home with you, look at every circuit that's accessible, pull a few outlets and switches to check conductor condition, inspect the panel, and inspect the attic and basement or crawlspace for runs we can see. This takes a couple of hours and gives us the information to write a real scope.
2. Written Proposal
We put the scope in writing: what gets replaced, what gets left alone, how we'll access the walls (fishing cable vs. opening drywall), how many new device boxes, new panel work if needed, and a real number. You don't commit to anything until you've seen the proposal.
3. Permits & Inspections
Every rewire in New Jersey requires a permit and inspections. We pull the permit, schedule the inspections, and handle the municipal side of the job.
4. Phased Work for Occupied Homes
A live-in rewire means we need to keep parts of the house functional while other parts are open. We plan the work in sections so you can still use the kitchen, the bathrooms, and at least one bedroom every night.
5. Installation
We run new NM-B cable from the panel to each device, install new boxes where needed, bond and ground the whole system properly, and update the panel to match. Old wiring stays in place or gets removed depending on access.
6. Final Inspection & Certificate
The electrical inspector signs off when the rough and the trim are complete. We hand you the final inspection certificate so your insurance company and future buyers have it on file.
Aluminum Wiring
Aluminum wiring is very common in homes in Ocean County and Monmouth County. Aluminum wire itself is not inherently unsafe. Aluminum wire at device terminals is where the problem is. Aluminum and copper expand and contract at different rates, aluminum oxidizes, and the combination loosens connections over time. We can upgrade aluminum wiring connections to meet current safety standards.
