This is the Washington Township in Gloucester County, and its construction office has a Sewell mailing address.

Most of Washington Township was built in the 1970s and 1980s, so the question is usually what a service sized then can carry now. A lot of what he does here is EV charger installation in Washington Township on its own circuit. He does a service upgrade where the house needs to charge a car and run a heat pump at once. He does panel replacement in Washington Township, or a breaker box upgrade, when the old panel is out of room. He runs dedicated circuits in Washington Township for the dryer or the range that keeps tripping the room. He does recessed lighting in Washington Township inside and out, and outdoor lighting placed so the walk and the porch look designed. He does generator wiring in Washington Township too, so the block going dark stops meaning your food does.
If you do not know what is wrong, electrical troubleshooting in Washington Township is where most calls start. A warm cover plate in a 1970s house is worth a look rather than a shrug, because aluminum wiring was common in those years. New construction and renovation wiring in Washington Township is the rough in and finish work for the addition or the gut job. The permit comes from the Washington Township Department of Code Enforcement and Inspections. It takes inspection requests by email with seven required fields, so he is the one who sends it. Most of Washington Township is on Atlantic City Electric and part is on PSE&G. The name on your bill is who to call about an outage, and the panel onward is his. Send the form or call him.

What he knows about Washington Township
Three things that are true in Washington Township and not three towns over.
Inspection requests
By email to inspections@twp.washington.nj.us only, and the township says that address is for requests alone; a question about permit status sent to it is not answered. Inspections are scheduled Monday through Thursday in an AM window, 8:00 AM to noon, or a PM window, noon to 3:00 PM. A specific time cannot be requested, and a request received at or after 3:00 PM counts as received the next business day.
The seven fields
A request has to carry the permit number, the address, the discipline (Building, Electric, Plumbing, Mechanical or Fire), the inspection type, the date requested, the AM or PM window, and the requester's name and phone number. The township says in its own capitals that a request missing any of them will not be scheduled.
Not the Pinelands Washington Township
The Pinelands Commission's list of Pinelands Area municipalities carries a Washington Township, and it is Burlington County's. Gloucester County has exactly two municipalities in the Pinelands Area, Franklin Township and Monroe Township, so no Pinelands question arises on a Washington Township job.

Washington Township, Gloucester County
Where a Washington Township job actually gets approved.
Washington Township is its own municipality in Gloucester County, with a construction office that, confusingly, carries a Sewell mailing address. It is not in the Pinelands and its permits do not go through the state. What it does have is a set of inspection rules with seven required fields on every request, and a line between two electric utilities running through it.

Before you call, in Washington Township
Why does the Washington Township construction office have a Sewell address?
Because Sewell is a post office name rather than a town, and the township building happens to be in it. The township's code office gives its address as 523 Egg Harbor Road, Sewell, NJ 08080. It is the township's own office, with state licensed staff. It is open Monday to Friday 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day it is Monday to Thursday only, because it closes on Fridays.
Source: twp.washington.nj.usHow do I get an electrical inspection scheduled in Washington Township?
By email, with seven things in it, before 3:00 PM. The township takes requests only at inspections@twp.washington.nj.us. Each one has to state the permit number, the address, the trade, the type of inspection, the date wanted, the AM or PM window, and a name and phone number. Inspections run Monday through Thursday. A request missing any field is not booked, and one that lands after 3:00 PM counts as received the next business day.
Source: twp.washington.nj.usIs my Washington Township house on Atlantic City Electric or PSE&G?
Probably Atlantic City Electric, but not for sure. The state's electric utility map shows Washington Township with both utilities in it, most of it Atlantic City Electric. But the line runs through the township rather than around it, so the honest answer for any one house is the name on its electric bill. An outage is a call to whichever utility that is. The panel and everything past it is where a licensed electrician takes over, in either case.
