The six calls we get most, and what actually fixes them
Most of what rings the phone falls into six patterns. The fix is rarely the first thing a homeowner or a handyman reaches for, which is why we test before we touch anything.
- A breaker that trips every time the microwave and toaster run together
Prewar kitchens usually share one 15 amp circuit with the dining room. We add a dedicated 20 amp small-appliance circuit rather than swapping the breaker for a bigger one, which is the shortcut that starts fires.
- Lights that dim when the AC compressor kicks on
Voltage sag on a long, undersized feeder or a loose neutral in the panel. We measure it under load at the panel and at the device before touching anything.
- A 100 amp panel that has no room for the heat pump or charger
Load calculation first. Sometimes a smart charger with load management avoids the upgrade entirely; when it cannot, we file the Con Edison request and do the 200 amp swap.
- Two-prong outlets in every room of a 1920s apartment
Where the armored cable still gives a ground path, we ground the boxes. Where it does not, we install GFCI protection and label it, which the code allows and an inspector expects.
- A violation on the building from an old, unpermitted job
We survey the work, correct what fails, and file the DOB paperwork that closes the violation instead of leaving it on the co-op's record.
- A Warwick house that goes dark for a day every ice storm
An interlock kit and inlet box for a portable generator, or a standby unit with an automatic transfer switch, sized to the circuits you actually need.
Manhattan apartments, outer-borough houses and the Warwick valley
The service office on West 24th Street puts a crew inside the five boroughs, where 54 percent of homes sit in buildings raised before 1947 and most of the work is prewar panels, armored cable and co-op approvals. The head office on West Lake Road in Warwick covers Orange County, where calls run to generators, outdoor circuits and older single-family wiring.
Coverage has edges, and the service area page says plainly where they are.
We have a page for each area we cover: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Staten Island, Orange County, Newburgh, Middletown, Port Jervis, Goshen, Monroe, Chester, Warwick, Upper East Side, Flushing and Whitestone, Tottenville and Great Kills, Queens Village, Canarsie and Flatlands, Upper West Side, Bayside, Sheepshead Bay, Bay Ridge, Forest Hills, New Dorp and Mid-Island and Throgs Neck.
What happens after you call
You call, a person answers
Any hour. We ask what you see, hear and smell, and tell you on the phone whether to shut the breaker off before we arrive.
Diagnosis at the panel and the device
We test under load rather than guess. You get the cause in plain language and a written scope before any work starts.
Permit and building approvals
Covered work is filed with the Department of Buildings, and in a co-op or condo we work inside the alteration agreement and the super's schedule.
The work, protected
Floors covered, dust controlled, power outages scheduled around your day. Circuits are labeled in the panel before we leave.
Inspection and follow-up
We meet the inspector, hand you the paperwork, and answer the phone if anything behaves differently afterward.
Why the paperwork and the testing matter as much as the wire
A clean install that nobody can document is a problem the day the building sells or the insurer asks. Four habits keep that from happening.
Two offices, one crew standard
A service office on West 24th Street in New York and the head office in Warwick. City apartments and Orange County houses get the same testing, labeling and paperwork.
Code-first on both sides of the river
New York City moved to the 2025 Electrical Code in December 2025 and the rest of the state to the 2023 NEC at the end of the year; we build to whichever applies at your address.
We answer at night because faults happen at night
A burning smell at 11 pm is not a next-morning call. Someone picks up, tells you what to shut off, and dispatches.
Repairs first, upgrades when the math says so
A load calculation decides whether you need a 200 amp panel. If a smart charger or a dedicated circuit solves the problem for less, that is what we recommend.
Something tripping, buzzing or smelling hot right now?
Shut the breaker off if you can reach it safely, then call. We will tell you whether it can wait until morning or whether a crew should come tonight.

Questions New Yorkers ask before booking
Yes. Calls are answered around the clock, seven days a week. For a true emergency such as a burning smell, sparking or water on electrical equipment, we tell you what to shut off while a crew is dispatched.
Yes. Panel replacements, service upgrades and new circuits require a Department of Buildings electrical permit and inspection. Like-for-like device swaps, such as replacing a broken outlet with the same type, are generally exempt. We file the permit as part of the job.
Yes. We follow the building's alteration agreement, provide the documents the managing agent asks for, and schedule around the super and any shutdown windows for riser work.
Yes. The New York office serves the boroughs, and the Warwick head office covers Orange County, including Greenwood Lake and the Warwick valley. The Service Area page explains where coverage ends.
Pricing depends on the job, so we quote after diagnosis rather than over the phone. Published national figures put licensed electricians at $75 to $150 per hour with service fees of $79 to $179, and New York sits at the upper end of those bands; we give you a written scope before work starts.
