Frequently Asked Questions

  • Allstate Electric is located in Pequannock, New Jersey and serves property owners, businesses, institutions, and municipalities across Northern and Central New Jersey.

  • Your electrical system is not something that should be tackled as a DIY project. Hot outlets, flickering lights, tripped circuit breakers, blown fuses, buzzing noises, and smoky smelling outlets are just a few signs of potentially serious electrical problems. Something doesn’t seem right? Call Allstate Electric for quick advice.

  • The first step is always to call your power provider. There are many reasons that the service provider may have disrupted service, ranging from billing issues and errors to downed powerlines and grid overload.

    If the problem is not with the power service provider, there are a number of reasons why your power could be out, some of which are very dangerous. Call Allstate Electric to schedule an emergency visit.

  • If your circuit breaker keeps tripping or a fuse keeps blowing it generally means that the electrical system is overloaded or there is a problem in the wiring, either a short circuit or ground fault. A re-tripping circuit breaker could be dangerous unless addressed for a professional.

  • Warm or scorched outlets can indicate loose wiring, overloaded circuits, or faulty outlets. This is a serious issue that needs immediate attention to avoid electrical fires.

  • Homes and commercial properties with frequent electrical problems, flickering lights, or power surges may need updated wiring to meet modern safety standards.
