Dominic McGinley was kind, cordial, knowledgable and professional.He has been very helpful with trouble shooting fan speed issues with my new Carrier furnace.
Heโ€™s really great, super nice technician.
Thank you.
Jose Colon was friendly and professional. I spent about an hour with him as he performed myAC preseason maintenance on my 2 year old Carrier unit.
I had my AC Maintenance done, the technician Ryan Gobel, was extremely thorough and professional, answered any and all questions.
Iโ€™ve been dealing with Princeton Air for over forty years and have always been extremely satisfied
We have used Princeton Air twice for our HVAC and once for plumbing. Each time, the technician was courteous and professional, and the issues were resolved. We recommend Princeton Air!
Tech from Princeton Air (Brian Hassan) showed up on time and performed yearly maintenance on our Kohler Generator. Very professional and courteous technician. Thanks for taking care of our generator like it was your own.

Just had a tech Cruise Rodriguez trouble shoot a minor wiring issue on our new Carrier furnace which was installed this week. As we were installing a new thermostat WiFi Honeywell there was a mismatch which Cruise located and rewired. System seems to be up and running with new thermostat.
Thank you Cruise for your expert help in resolving this issue.
Dominic is very professional and clearly knows what he is doing .
Jonathon and Louis were professional and neat! They Answered all my questions
Dominic was extremely pleasant, professional, and thorough,. He was also quite efficient. He quickly diagnosed the situation and was able to correct it. He also took the time to patiently explain my thermostat to me. Then he signed me up as a member. So heโ€™s a pretty good sales guy too!
However, I then set up an appointment for maintenance and twice Princeton Air canceled me. Iโ€™m now set up for maintenance the end of June. And thatโ€™s after they tried to set me up the end of July and I complained.And this is after Dominic signed me up as a member. Thereโ€™s something very wrong with their business model and I do not consider this good customer service. I will likely have to look for a different serviceโ€ฆ. something more responsive.
I had a great experience with Princeton Air. I had an issue with a part of my healer leaking. Within an hour of calling about this problem, Dylan, the technician, arrived at my house. He soon identified the problem. The next day 3 technicians came back and replaced the faulty part.
Repair went smoothly and efficiently, very satisfied.
One of the worries anyone with a new system would have is if it turns bad, how can it be cared of. Princeton Air answers that question. They responded quickly, sent technicians to look at the issue, and found the proper solution for you. The coordinator at the office is very nice; she would answer my email, and call me back about it even it was on weekends. Such a call is important because it tells you that you are not left out! Wish they will continue the good service. Feng.
Always appreciative of service from Princeton Air. This time it was to install a new quick-Connect hose for the gas grill. Friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. Thank you for the great service.
Technician was knowledgeable. He was able to find the issue quickly and fix the problem without issue.
Very good service. Cruise did a terrific job resolving our problem and was a pleasure to speak with.
I am so thankful to Princeton Air for sending to me your very best technician, Dominic M, on April 2 to do the maintenance for my air conditioner! Dominic is very professional, knowledgeable and talented. He was so thorough and he explained everything to me as he did it in a way to be sure I could understand. He explained what was working well and what problems needed to be addressed, then came out 2 days later and completed the repairs! I'm so thankful and I would highly recommend Dominic M!!
Tom did a great job of identifying and repairing a pinhole leak in our minisplit AC system. The cost was high, but the amount of labor and material justified it – these things ain't cheap! Tom is a very personable and knowledgeable tech.
Technician arrived promptly and diagnosed the problem with our air-conditioning as being the blower that was not operating properly. Karume advised us of the ordering process, quoted us a price for the part as well as who to contact at Princeton Air Parts Dept on Monday for more information on how long it would take for the part to come in and be installed. Karume is an exemplary employee and is always welcome to make a service call at our house.
Great job.on time great experience
Great experience. Workers explained everything and completed the work.
All communication with the office was excellent. The electrician Brian who did the work explained the issue, the process of the repair and the new work beyond my expectations.
Jonathan was very thorough and professional. Thank you!

Dominic M. And Christian were great honest, thorough, and very professional. We just moved into our new home and are thrilled to have started a maintenance membership with this company. The experience was smooth and reassuring from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Emergency Electrical Services for New Jersey Homes

An electrical emergency doesn’t just inconvenience your household, it can put your family and your property in real danger.

Princeton Air provides emergency electrical services across New Jersey to protect your home, resolve the issue at its source, and restore the safety and function you expect. The following scenarios are the most common emergency calls we respond to.

A sudden loss of power to the whole house, when the utility service is still on, usually points to a main breaker failure, service entry damage, or a failed meter connection. Our electricians respond to outage calls across Edison and the surrounding communities, diagnose the specific cause, and restore power safely, working with the utility when necessary.

An outlet or switch that sparks, smokes, or shows burn marks is an immediate fire hazard. We isolate the affected circuit, identify the failing component, and replace damaged devices with code-compliant equipment. Older homes in Monroe Township with aging electrical systems see this problem more often than newer construction.

A burning or plastic-melting smell coming from outlets, switches, or the panel itself is one of the most serious electrical warning signs. We respond quickly, locate the source, and address it before the condition escalates into an actual fire.

Wiring that’s come loose, been damaged by pests, or been exposed during other work creates shock and fire risk. Our electricians secure and repair or replace compromised wiring, and where appropriate, upgrade the circuit to modern code requirements.

A main panel that’s failing, breakers that won’t reset even after the load is removed, or visible damage to the panel interior all require immediate attention. Many older homes across Princeton still have original panels from decades ago, and when they fail, we assess panel condition, complete repairs when possible, and recommend replacement when the panel has reached the end of its safe service life.

Types of Emergency Electrical Services We Offer

An emergency is defined as much by how quickly you need help as by what’s actually wrong.

Princeton Air structures emergency electrical response around the different urgency levels homeowners actually face, from overnight crises to same-day problems that can’t wait for a scheduled appointment.

When something goes wrong in the middle of the night or over a weekend, our emergency line connects you with someone who can dispatch a licensed electrician right away. Active fire or shock risks get the fastest response.

Some electrical problems aren’t active emergencies but can’t wait days for a standard appointment. We reserve same-day capacity for homes in Hamilton Township and the surrounding area when the issue involves partial power loss, failed circuits affecting essential systems, or safety concerns that need resolution but aren’t immediate threats.

Emergency panel work covers breakers that won’t reset, panels with visible damage, and service entrance issues that compromise the entire home’s electrical supply. Our electricians handle this category of emergency with the care it requires.

Lightning strikes and major storms cause surge damage that can destroy electronics and leave a home with intermittent electrical problems that are hard to diagnose. We respond to storm-related damage across Toms River and the surrounding areas with both immediate repairs and recommendations for whole-home surge protection.

Damaged or exposed wiring, sudden circuit failures, and wiring problems discovered during renovations all need prompt electrical attention. Older homes in Westfield often have aging wiring that presents real safety concerns once it begins to fail. Our team handles wiring emergencies whether the source is a pest-damaged cable, an aged connection that’s finally failed, or damage from other home work.

What to Do When an Electrical Emergency Happens

An electrical emergency can feel disorienting in the moment. Lights flicker, power cuts, or a burning smell appears, and it’s not always clear what to do first.

The steps below keep you and your home safer while help is on the way.

If you’ve identified an outlet, switch, or fixture that’s sparking, smoking, or causing concern, stop using it immediately. Unplug connected devices if you can do so safely without touching damaged components.

For problems on a specific circuit, turn off the corresponding breaker at the panel. For a whole-house issue with visible damage, the main breaker cuts power to the entire home. In older homes throughout Lawrence Township, panel labels may be faded or missing, which makes knowing the breaker layout worth doing before an emergency rather than during one. Either way, shutting off power eliminates the electrical risk while the problem is investigated.

Once the immediate risk is contained, call our emergency line. We’ll gather the details, dispatch an electrician, and walk you through anything else you should do before we arrive. Our team serves homeowners throughout Hopewell and across the service region 24/7.

Until a licensed electrician has assessed the situation, keep family members and pets away from the affected area. This includes avoiding water around any electrical concern, since water conducts current and dramatically increases shock risk.

If it’s safe to do so, take photos or video of the affected area, any visible damage, and the conditions that existed when the problem started. This documentation helps with insurance claims and gives our electrician useful context before arrival.


Other Emergency Services

Electrical emergencies often arrive alongside other home system failures, and Princeton Air handles the full range.

A storm that knocks out power can also bring down HVAC systems, flood basements, and damage water heaters. Having one team to call for all of it is how you get your household back to normal faster.

Burst pipes, sewer backups, water heater failures, and sump pump emergencies all need the same kind of fast, licensed response that electrical emergencies require. Our plumbing team handles plumbing emergencies alongside our electrical work.

When a furnace or boiler fails in the middle of a New Jersey winter, the house gets cold quickly. Our heating team responds to emergency heating calls day and night to restore warmth before pipes freeze or a family goes without heat overnight.

Summer AC failures can be more than uncomfortable. For elderly homeowners, infants, or anyone with health conditions, a failed AC during extreme heat is a real safety concern. Our emergency HVAC response covers AC emergencies with the same urgency as heat.

For homes with standby generators, an electrical emergency often intersects with generator performance questions. Our team services generators as part of emergency electrical response when the backup system is part of the problem or part of the solution.

A failed or leaking water heater during cold weather creates both plumbing and potential electrical concerns. Our team responds to water heater emergencies with attention to both sides of the problem.

Why New Jersey Homeowners Turn to Princeton Air for Emergency Electrical

Emergency electrical work is specialized, and our electricians are licensed professionals who handle high-stakes electrical problems as regular work, not occasional side calls. That matters when the situation is genuinely dangerous.

Active fire or shock hazards get the fastest response we can deliver. Less urgent emergencies get same-day or next-available service. Our dispatch team knows the difference and prioritizes accordingly.

When you call with an electrical emergency, you need answers, not sales pitches. Our team explains what’s happening, what we’ll do about it, and what the realistic options are, all in language that makes sense when you’re already stressed.

Emergency work that’s rushed and non-compliant shows up later as failed inspections, insurance problems, or repeat failures. We complete emergency repairs to current New Jersey code even when moving quickly, because that’s what actually keeps your home safe.

Major storms cause surge damage, downed service lines, and complex electrical problems that extend beyond the utility repair. Princeton Air responds to storm-driven electrical emergencies across Lawrence Township, Plainsboro, and the surrounding service area.

We’ve been the emergency call for generations of New Jersey homeowners. That longevity is the result of showing up when it matters and doing the work right, one emergency at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as an electrical emergency?

Situations that pose immediate fire or shock risk qualify as true electrical emergencies: sparking outlets or switches, burning or electrical odors, exposed live wiring, panel damage, and complete loss of power when utility service is on. Problems that aren’t immediately dangerous but can’t wait days for standard service (partial outages, failed circuits affecting essential systems) are treated as same-day urgent rather than overnight emergencies.

Should I shut off power at the breaker myself before you arrive?

For a specific circuit problem, yes, turning off the affected breaker is usually safe and eliminates the immediate risk. For a whole-house issue or when you see visible damage at the main panel, shutting off the main breaker is appropriate if you can do so without touching damaged components. When in doubt, stay clear and wait for the electrician.

Are your emergency electricians licensed?

Yes. All Princeton Air electrical work is performed by licensed electricians, including emergency response. New Jersey requires electrical licensing for a reason, and our emergency team meets that requirement on every call, regardless of the hour.

Do you respond to storm-related electrical emergencies?

Yes. After major storms, we respond to surge damage, partial outages not attributable to utility service, downed service entry damage on the homeowner’s side of the meter, and other storm-driven electrical problems. Utility service repairs remain the utility’s responsibility, but anything on your side of the service point is our work.

How fast can you arrive for an emergency?

Active fire or shock risks get the fastest dispatch we can deliver, often within an hour depending on location and conditions. Less urgent emergencies are scheduled based on safety priority and the team’s current dispatch, with same-day service available for situations that can’t wait for a standard appointment.
