About Nextgen Electric

Nextgen Electric is a commercial and industrial electrical contractor based in Fairfield, New Jersey. Since 2010 we have built, serviced, and maintained electrical systems for manufacturing plants, medical facilities, warehouses and distribution centers, retail and restaurants, offices, schools, and municipal buildings throughout North Jersey — with a service department that also handles residential calls.

We are licensed, bonded, and insured, and we answer emergency calls 24 hours a day.

Our Story

Joseph Focarino founded Nextgen Electric in 2010, after a decade in the field with IBEW Local 164.

He entered the trade at twenty, as an apprentice with Belgiovine Electric. Soon after, he was accepted into the IBEW Local 164 apprenticeship program, where he completed his on-the-job training hours and classroom requirements. In the years that followed, he worked on and then managed installations for data centers, high-rise buildings, tunnels, rail systems, stadiums, Port Authority facilities, government buildings, and municipal projects — the kind of complex, heavily inspected work that leaves no room for shortcuts.

That experience shaped the company he built. Industrial facilities, public projects, and critical systems are not work Nextgen Electric expanded into later. They are where it started.

Today Joseph leads a team of skilled electricians who hold to the same standards he learned in the field.

What We Do

Our work falls into three areas:

Electrical construction. Ground-up commercial and industrial projects, tenant fit-outs, renovations, and building additions — including preconstruction planning and value engineering before the work begins. We handle complete electrical systems from service entrance to final trim, and we coordinate with general contractors, construction managers, and other trades to keep electrical from becoming the schedule constraint.

Service and maintenance. Troubleshooting and repair, panel and service upgrades, and preventive maintenance programs for facilities where downtime is expensive. We answer emergency calls around the clock.

Specialty systems. Fire alarm design, installation, service, and monitoring; security cameras, access control, and structured cabling; standby generators; and EV charging infrastructure including Level 3 DC fast charging sites.

More about our public works and government certifications.

How We Work

  • We tell you what you actually need. Sometimes that means recommending a repair instead of a replacement, or the smaller generator, or Level 2 charging instead of Level 3. A recommendation that costs us money today is what earns the next ten years of work.
  • We handle the paperwork. Permits, inspections, utility coordination, certified payroll, certificates of insurance, and utility incentive applications — supplied without being chased.
  • We work around your operations. Nights, weekends, and phased work in occupied buildings, because a production line or a storefront cannot stop for our convenience.
  • We stay after handover. The company that built your system can service it.
