About
Founded in 1992 by owner Keith Ballentine, KB Electric Inc brings over three decades of hands-on electrical experience to commercial and mixed-use properties across Newark, Bloomfield, Montclair, and the broader Essex County area. For property managers and facility managers overseeing office buildings, retail centers, multifamily properties, and light industrial spaces, KB Electric delivers practical electrical solutions backed by deep local knowledge and a consistent record of community recognition — including Best of Essex Awards in 2012, 2013, and 2014. The company's commercial scope covers interior and exterior lighting systems, panelboard and wiring upgrades, electrical troubleshooting, and standby generator installation and servicing. Aging wiring infrastructure is a persistent liability in older New Jersey commercial stock, and KB Electric's experience with electrical system upgrades positions them well to help facility teams address code compliance issues, improve energy efficiency, and reduce downtime risk. Their standby generator services are particularly relevant for commercial and multifamily clients who require continuous power reliability — the firm specializes in automatic standby generator systems that engage immediately upon utility loss, reducing operational disruption without the logistics burden of portable or fuel-dependent units. KB Electric operates as a lean, owner-led shop, which translates to direct accountability and consistent technician quality on each job — an advantage for facility managers who need reliable execution on electrical upgrades, troubleshooting calls, and power distribution work across their Essex County portfolio. Property managers evaluating electrical contractors in the Newark and northern New Jersey corridor will find KB Electric a credible option for commercial wiring, lighting retrofits, panel upgrades, and generator programs in office, retail, and multifamily settings.
