Old Farmland. New Suburbs. Princeton-Caliber Expectations.
Montgomery Township is difficult to find on a map — it shows up as Belle Mead, Skillman, Blawenburg, or Princeton on mail and GPS, depending on which corner of the 32-square-mile township you’re in. But the community is unmistakable: Dutch colonial farmhouses along Route 518 (the Georgetown and Franklin Turnpike, laid down in 1820), new luxury developments built in the 1990s and 2000s when the population nearly tripled, and one of New Jersey’s top-ranked public high schools in a county consistently ranked among the wealthiest in the state.
Montgomery Township is six miles from Princeton. Its workforce includes Princeton University staff, Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory researchers, and professionals from the pharmaceutical and technology corridor between Bridgewater and Princeton. Homeowners here have high expectations for quality, documentation, and professionalism — and Montgomery Township’s permit office has detailed requirements that reflect that. We know every form, every requirement, and every inspector.
Every Montgomery Township job comes with a free written estimate, a licensed NJ Master Electrician on-site, all permits filed, and a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Request yours online or call us directly.

Montgomery Township Communities
Every Village & Postal District in Montgomery Township
Montgomery Township spans 32 square miles and is served by four different post offices — which is why it can be hard to find on a map. Each community has its own character and electrical profile:
The largest postal district in the township, straddling the Hillsborough border along Route 206. Belle Mead was the site of a major railroad depot in 1875 and has seen active new construction through the 2010s and 2020s. Mix of 1990s-era colonials and recent luxury builds. High EV charger demand and strong generator interest from this section.
The township’s administrative center — Montgomery Township Hall is here at 100 Community Drive. Skillman contains the school campus and significant residential development from the 1990s and 2000s. Proximity to the North Princeton Developmental Center property (256 acres, purchased 2007) adds green open space to this area.
A small historic village in the western portion of the township. Blawenburg Reformed Church, an offshoot of Harlingen, dates to 1830 and was reputedly built in three days. This section has older housing stock and a rural character. Generator demand is higher here — power restoration takes longer in the western reaches of the township.
The historic Dutch Reformed community along Route 518 (the original 1820-22 turnpike). Harlingen houses some of the oldest privately occupied farmhouses in Somerset County. We have specific experience working in 18th and 19th century fieldstone and timber-frame structures along this corridor.
Small historic crossroads communities in the northern portion of the township. Bridgepoint has a designated historic district along the Millstone River. These areas contain some of Montgomery Township’s oldest structures alongside newer residential development on adjacent parcels.
The southernmost portion of Montgomery Township uses Princeton’s post office and ZIP code. This is the highest-value zone of the township — luxury estates and high-end new construction within a short drive of Nassau Street. We serve these properties with the Princeton-caliber professionalism their owners expect.

Why Montgomery Township Chooses Us
Princeton-Adjacent Quality Standards. 20 Years of Meeting Them.
Montgomery Township’s EV charger permit requires more documentation than most Somerset County municipalities: Form F-100 signed by the contractor; Form F-120 Electrical Subcode Technical Section in three copies, each bearing the contractor’s raised seal; two copies of single-line drawings; two copies of load calculations; two copies of manufacturer specifications; and a copy of the NJ electrical contractor license. We prepare all of this in-house, correctly and completely, on the first submission. This avoids the revision-and-resubmission delays that cost homeowners weeks of lost time with other contractors.
Most of Montgomery Township is not on public sewer — residents manage private septic systems. This shapes the character of the township: larger lots, more rural roads, less municipal infrastructure, and longer wait times for utility restoration after major storms. Generator connections are not optional in a municipality where a nor’easter can leave Blawenburg-area residents without power for two to three days. We assess generator transfer switch needs honestly, size them correctly for the home’s actual loads, and pull the Montgomery Township permit on your behalf.
The Route 518 corridor — the Georgetown and Franklin Turnpike, originally laid down in 1820-22 — is lined with Dutch colonial farmhouses that date to the 18th and 19th centuries. Working electrically in these structures requires experience with fieldstone walls, timber-frame construction, and original plaster. We’ve rewired and upgraded dozens of historic Montgomery Township properties without damaging original fabric. That experience is not common and not improvised.
Montgomery Township’s proximity to Princeton — six miles to Nassau Street — means the community includes Princeton University staff, Institute for Advanced Study researchers, and Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory professionals among its homeowners. These are highly educated people with high standards and no patience for cut corners. Every job we do in Montgomery Township is permitted, inspected, properly documented, and executed by a licensed NJ Master Electrician. That’s the only standard we operate to.
Local Expertise
What We Know About Montgomery Township
🔴 The 1990s-2000s Growth Wave — Now Hitting Upgrade Age
Montgomery Township’s population was just 3,819 in 1950. By 2000 it had reached 17,481 — and the school district nearly tripled its enrollment between 1992 and 2005. That extraordinary growth produced thousands of new colonial homes in Skillman, Belle Mead, and Harlingen in a very compressed window. Today, those homes are 20–35 years old: the age when standby generator connections, EV charger installations, panel capacity assessments, and smart home upgrades start making sense as investments.
In contrast to communities where growth happened in stages across multiple decades, Montgomery Township’s growth was concentrated in a narrow 15-year window. This means a very large portion of the township’s housing stock is of similar vintage — and is reaching upgrade age simultaneously. We’ve been working in these homes since they were new and know what generation of electrical system was standard practice in each phase of the township’s development.
🔴 Dutch Colonial Heritage: The Route 518 Corridor
Route 518 — known as the Georgetown and Franklin Turnpike when it was built between Lambertville and New Brunswick from 1820 to 1822 — runs through the heart of Montgomery Township past Harlingen, Blawenburg, and Bridgepoint. This corridor contains some of the oldest privately occupied structures in Somerset County. The Harlingen Reformed Dutch Church traces its congregation to the 1720s. Farmhouses built before 1800 still stand as private residences along these roads.
These properties require a fundamentally different approach than a 2001 colonial in Skillman. We assess each one as an individual historical artifact. The question isn’t just “what does the code require?” — it’s “how do we bring this 200-year-old structure into compliance without destroying what makes it irreplaceable?” We provide written assessments of every historic property we evaluate and have never been asked to redo work in a Montgomery farmhouse because we caused damage.

Two copies of load calculations (contractor-sealed)

🔴 The Septic Reality & Generator Demand
Montgomery Township is unusual among New Jersey suburbs in that the majority of its residential properties are served by private septic systems rather than municipal sewer. This isn’t a problem — it’s a characteristic that reflects the township’s preservation of large lots and rural character. But it has a practical electrical consequence: rural properties on private septic systems depend on submersible well pumps for water. When the grid goes down, so does the pump.
For a Princeton-adjacent professional whose home is their primary asset and whose work-from-home setup depends on reliable power, a standby generator with an automatic transfer switch isn’t a luxury — it’s essential infrastructure. We install automatic transfer switches for standby generators throughout Montgomery Township, correctly sized for the specific home’s loads including well pump, sump pump, HVAC, and the circuits that matter most to each homeowner. We pull the Montgomery Township permit and coordinate inspection. Most installations are completed in one day.
⚡ EV Charger Incentives for Montgomery Township Homeowners
Montgomery Township is served by PSE&G. The Princeton-adjacent research and academic community has one of the highest EV adoption rates in Somerset County. Remember: the permit documentation requirements are more detailed here — we handle everything. Stackable incentives available:
For Level 2 residential charger installation through PSE&G’s EV Charging Program
State rebate for eligible Level 2 smart charger purchase (apply within 14 days)
30% of installation costs (IRS Form 8911) through June 2026
We prepare all required permit documentation including sealed load calculations and single-line drawings. We handle PSE&G rebate paperwork. Most Montgomery Township EV charger installations are completed in one to two days.
What Montgomery Township Customers Say
Real Reviews from Montgomery Township Homeowners
“EV charger permit in Montgomery Township was more involved than I expected — load calculations, sealed drawings, the works. These guys had it all prepared. The inspector passed it first try, the PSE&G rebate was submitted within 48 hours. That level of process knowledge is extremely rare.”
Homeowner — Skillman, Montgomery Township
“Generator transfer switch on our 1790s farmhouse in Blawenburg. Our property is on well and septic — every major storm we lose everything. They assessed the loads correctly, ran conduit beautifully without disturbing the original stonework, and we haven’t worried about an outage since. This is craftsmanship.”
