Newark is just over the state line from Elkton, home to the University of Delaware and a mix of older streets near campus, mid-century neighborhoods and newer developments.
Licensed in Delaware, too
Otto Electric is licensed and insured in both Maryland and Delaware, so a job in Newark is as routine for us as one in Elkton. Delaware electricians are licensed by the Board of Electrical Examiners, and we pull the permits the job requires.
Who supplies your power
Newark is one of the few places around here with a municipal electric utility: inside city limits, the City of Newark provides electric service and handles permits. Outside the city, Delmarva Power is the utility and New Castle County handles permits. We work with both.
Rentals, older homes and upgrades
Older homes near campus, many of them rentals, often need panel upgrades, GFCI protection, more outlets and safety corrections after inspections. Newer neighborhoods ask for EV chargers, lighting and surge protection.
