Top 5 Reasons to Hire a Local Electrician in Morris County (and Why It Matters)

When it comes to electrical work, you don’t want to take chances. Whether it’s a panel upgrade, lighting retrofit, or whole-home wiring, choosing the right electrician can make the difference between a smooth job and a long list of headaches.

At Szigeti Electric, we believe local matters. Since 2011, we’ve proudly served homeowners, businesses, and property managers across Morris, Sussex, Hunterdon, and Warren Counties, including towns like Mendham, Sparta, Tewksbury, and Chester.

So why hire a local, licensed electrician like us? Here are the top five reasons.

1. Faster Response Times

Local electricians know the area. We’re based in Succasunna, so when you call, you’re getting help from someone just down the road—not someone dispatching from 2 hours away or stuck in highway traffic.

Whether it’s a power loss at your home in Randolph or an urgent repair at your Hackettstown rental property, you’ll get faster service from a local team.

2. We Know New Jersey Building Codes Inside and Out

Every town in NJ is different. From Chester Township's inspection process to Sparta's permit requirements, we know the local ordinances and work directly with inspectors to get your job approved quickly and correctly.

This means fewer delays, no red tape, and peace of mind that your project is 100% code-compliant.

3. Personalized, Owner-Operated Service

At Szigeti Electric, you’re not dealing with a call center or sales rep. You’re working directly with Tom Szigeti, a retired firefighter and master electrician who has built his business on reputation, reliability, and honesty.

We don’t upsell. We don’t cut corners. We show up on time, treat your property with respect, and get the job done right the first time.

4. Supporting the Local Economy

Hiring a local electrician means supporting local jobs, families, and small businesses in your own community. We shop at the same supply houses, send our kids to the same schools, and care about our reputation because we live here too.

It’s easy to call a big company off Google—but when you hire local, you're building relationships that last.

5. We Stand Behind Our Work

We’ve worked in some of the most prestigious homes and developments in towns like Tewksbury, Bernardsville, and Califon—and we’re proud that most of our business comes from referrals.

We stand behind every job with:

  • Licensed and insured workmanship

  • Transparent pricing with no hidden fees

  • Long-term reliability and ongoing support

  • Clean, professional installations that add value to your property
