Editorial Review
Our Take on Toth Electric
The combination of a published licence number, a physical generator showroom and a 5.0 average across 654 Google reviews puts this firm in a small group locally. We would still treat the certification list as claims to verify at the door, and we would ask directly about weekend and after-hours availability given the Sunday closure. For a generator or EV charger project in North Jersey, it belongs on the shortlist.
Best forstandby generator and EV charger installs in Northern New Jersey homes
What We Like
- 5.0 rating from 654 reviews on its Google Business Profile, read October 3, 2026
- Named Generac authorised installer with generator stock held at the Mountainside shop
- EV charging specialism including ChargePoint equipment and a stated Qmerit preferred installer status
- NJ electrical contractor licence 17157 published openly, with permits and inspections part of the process
- Handles both residential repairs and commercial fit outs, lighting retrofits and data cabling
- Free written estimates via an online form, plus Wisetack financing for larger projects
Things to Consider
- Closed Sundays and no 24-hour emergency service is mentioned in the brief
- Generator installation quoted at as little as eight weeks, so not an immediate fix
- Certifications and insurance are the company's own published claims, worth verifying before work starts
- Based in Mountainside rather than Newark itself, so confirm coverage for your exact address

Company Background
About Toth Electric
Electrical work in Essex and Union counties tends to fall into two camps. There is the old housing stock, the 1920s two-family homes in Newark, the Victorians in Montclair and South Orange, many of them still carrying fragments of knob and tube wiring behind plaster and a 100-amp panel that was generous in 1968. Then there is the newer demand: a heat pump, an induction range, a car in the driveway that needs 48 amps overnight. Toth Electric sells into both, which is why its service list reads long.
On paper the range is wide. Residential jobs include service panel replacement and upgrade, troubleshooting dead circuits, outlet installation and repair, indoor and landscape and security lighting, dedicated circuits, surge protection, pools, detached garages and new construction. Knob and tube restoration gets its own page, which matters locally because insurers in North Jersey have grown stricter about it and some will not bind a policy until it is gone. On the commercial side the company lists tenant fit outs, office remodels, LED retrofits, data and network cabling, emergency lighting installation and testing, warehouse and industrial lighting design, security and surveillance wiring, and code compliance upgrades for buildings that have fallen behind.
Two lines stand out as genuine specialisms rather than list filler. Generators come with a shop address in Mountainside, stock held on site according to the website, and a claimed Generac authorised installer status covering whole-home standby units, portable hookups, transfer switches and ongoing maintenance. The site quotes installation in as little as eight weeks, which is honest about the reality that permitting, gas hookup and utility coordination take time. The second is EV charging, with ChargePoint Home Flex for houses and the CT4000 series for commercial sites, plus a stated preferred installer relationship through Qmerit, which is the network several carmakers route buyers to. There is a page on EV charger rebate information, useful given New Jersey's utility programmes change from year to year.
Who it suits: a homeowner who wants a permitted, inspected job with a paper trail rather than a cash handshake, and property managers of mixed-use or multi-unit buildings who need one contractor for panels, lighting and chargers. Who it may not suit: anyone hunting the cheapest possible price on a single outlet swap, or someone needing a 2 AM emergency callout, since published hours run 7 AM to 7 PM Monday through Saturday with Sunday closed and nothing in the brief mentions 24-hour service.
The credential picture is more detailed than most. New Jersey electrical contractor licence 17157 appears on the site, alongside claims of NABCEP certification, UL certified solar installer status, ANSI EGSA certification relevant to generator work, membership of the Union County Electrical Association, and full bonding and insurance. Those are the company's own statements, so ask to see current certificates. The reason licensing matters here is practical rather than ceremonial: only a licensed contractor can pull permits in Newark and the surrounding municipalities, and a panel upgrade or generator install without a permit and inspection can surface later during a sale or an insurance claim.
The reviews back the presentation up. Toth Electric held a 5.0 rating from 654 reviews on its Google Business Profile when it was read on October 3, 2026. A perfect average across that many entries is rare, and worth reading a sample of rather than taking at face value, but the volume suggests a steady book of work since the business started trading in 2017.
Before booking, get the estimate in writing and check what is included. Ask whether permit and inspection fees are in the quoted price or billed separately, what the load calculation says about whether your service needs upgrading before a charger or generator goes in, who coordinates with PSE&G or your gas supplier on a standby unit, and what the labour warranty runs to alongside the manufacturer warranty on the equipment. For financing, the site names Wisetack as its partner with no hidden fees or deferred interest, which is worth comparing against a home equity line if the project is large. Free estimates are offered through an online form with a next business day follow up, handy if you cannot call during the working day.
Compared with the broader market in and around Newark, the alternatives split between one-van operators who are cheap and flexible on small repairs and large regional firms with dispatch fees and tiered pricing. This outfit sits in between, with a physical generator shop and enough credentials to handle commercial work, which usually means scheduling rather than price is the trade-off.

Toth Electric FAQs
Does Toth Electric serve Newark?
Yes. Newark is listed among the areas it serves, along with Jersey City, Montclair, Maplewood, South Orange, West Orange, Union, Verona, Morristown, New Providence and Mountain Lakes. The shop itself is at 1008 Springfield Ave in Mountainside, so confirm travel and scheduling for your specific street when you call (973) 996-4696.
What is its Google rating?
It showed 5.0 from 654 reviews on its Google Business Profile when read on October 3, 2026. That is a high volume for a contractor that began trading in 2017, and a flawless average at that count is uncommon. Reading a recent handful of reviews is still worth the five minutes.
Is it licensed and insured?
The website publishes New Jersey electrical contractor licence number 17157 and states the business is fully bonded and insured. It also claims NABCEP certification, UL certified solar installer status, ANSI EGSA certification and membership of the Union County Electrical Association. These are company statements, so ask for current certificates before work begins.
How long does a standby generator installation take?
The company advertises installation in as little as eight weeks, with generators held in stock at its Mountainside shop. That timeline reflects permitting, inspection, gas line work and utility coordination rather than the install day itself. It describes itself as a Generac authorised installer and also offers transfer switches and ongoing generator maintenance.
Can it install an EV charger at home?
Yes, EV charger installation is one of its stated specialisms for both homes and commercial sites. The website names ChargePoint Home Flex for residential work and the CT4000 series for commercial, and describes the firm as a preferred installer through Qmerit. There is also a page covering EV charger rebate information, relevant given New Jersey utility incentives change periodically.
What are the opening hours?
Published hours are 7 AM to 7 PM Monday through Saturday, with Sunday closed. Those are long weekday hours for the trade, but nothing in the available information indicates 24-hour emergency callout, so ask about after-hours options if that matters to you.
Is financing available for larger jobs?
The website says it has partnered with Wisetack, allowing customers to pay over time with no hidden fees, origination costs or deferred interest. It is pitched mainly at generator and EV charger projects. Compare the rate against other borrowing options before committing on a big install.
