Best Electricians in New York

I spent a good amount of time researching electricians for this job. I needed a main panel (circuit breaker box) upgraded in my pre-war building. I understand that the price I ended up paying was typical for the task. I managed to bring the price down a bit by doing some of the work myself and supplying some of the materials.

It turned out to be a two man job that I wouldn't have felt completely comfortable doing myself. But I understand enough of what was going on to say that I appreciate the finished product and thank Radane Williams and Rico for a tidy job. The guys were very reassuring about the safety of the old box, which was turned into a splice box, and the new box.

I have read most of the Yelp comments here. I can certainly sympathize with the folks that had a hard time scheduling their work to be done. I also had a difficult time nailing dates down. I blame ConEd for holding up my electrician from making our appointments. I don't believe, however, that this is unusual when working with tradesmen. They need to finish a job before they can move on to the next one. If an estimate was incorrect, or ConEd or another trade holds them up, the schedule slips. If I have any complaint, it is that the office could have been a bit more pro-active in notifying me with the reason why I was waiting around all day for a scheduled appointment that clearly was not going to happen. Maybe some better communication between the guys in the field, the folks in the office, and the client would have helped.

It was good working with Mo, who is doing the sales bit. Apparently he talks a good game, but is not an electrician himself. I was fooled though. It's good to have someone quoting you a price that has an idea about what the job entails. In this case, there were no 2x4s and sheetrock walls. My building is made from old-school construction materials, gypsum block walls and cloth sheathed wiring. It was reassuring to hear that everybody involved understood the requirements and could make a reasonable estimate based on those conditions.

Required insurance documents were acquired swiftly, including a copy of the master electrician's license.

It must be tough working in New York city, what with parking the truck and bringing enough tools and materials. Shocking how many tools I had  to supply (you guys have my yellow phillip's head?). After seeing that, I believe picking a shop that's closer to your apartment is better than a shop that is miles away. It will be easier to make appointments and will be easier for them to run back and forth to get equipment.

Klodian was amazing from start to finish. He was incredibly responsive, on time, and very kind and easy to work with. When it comes to housework, I've come to realize that nothing is as simple as it seems, and that was definitely the case with our job--what seemed like a simple 220v installation ended up being a 2-part job. Klodian never got frustrated or took shortcuts, instead he took his time to do the job right when there were many opportunities to do it faster that we would have ended up paying for in the long-run. On top of all of that, his pricing was reasonable from the get-go. I will definitely be back in touch for more projects!

Tim is simply fantastic. What a find! I've had him come twice now. In both cases an outlet had failed. Tim was very friendly, gave me his cell number, fixed it with no mess, was incredibly courteous. I will definitely be calling him any time I need some electrical work taken care of around the house.

I had multiple electrical problems in our house in Great Neck, NY. He gave us a very reasonable price. I live in Florida and he was very accommodating by calling the tentant to set up an appointment. He showed up on time and completed the work in one day. In addition, he offers a warranty on his work too! He was also very flexible in payment since we lived out of state. I would defiantly use him again!

Ralph came over to fix what I thought was a lose connection in my track lighting but was actually a small electrical fire which had been burning inside the metal box of my ballast for 4 days! He also completely replaced my circuit breaker (which should have turned the power off to the over-heated ballast) all in one day working through lunch and without breaks to be sure my kids and I could sleep at home that night without any risk. He even found where the main circuit in my overloaded circuit breaker was burning through and also ready to cause a fire. I have never written a review before but this was the best experience I'd ever had with an electrician. Thank you Ralph!

I must say he is a skilled and competent electrician. I only wish he would have made me aware of all my possible options before beginning the job which involved changing a wall box and replacing the switch within.  He quoted one price range over the phone, but it was higher when he came and saw it.  Being given a receipt changed the price to include additional sales tax, and cash was his only form of payment.  I think these terms should be made clear before arrival.  I only wish his business acumen was as good as his electrical skills.

We bought our house and needed serious rewiring and recessed lights installation work done. John came and listened to my concerns and needs. He provided me the quote and same evening, sent me the list of materials he would require to complete the job. After delivery of materials, John was quick to install the lights and begin the rewiring work.
Our plan was to install a multitude of 3 switches, create separate lighting zones, as well as other ad-hoc ideas.
John was always willing accommodate and was able to complete the job accurately. I also want to commend him on his communication skills and quick responses at any time of day.
Will definitely turn to him for our electrical needs.

Initially, we were impressed with their professional manner.  They gave a quote which seemed reasonable.  Because of the extensive work we needed, the owner said he had a construction crew that they worked with.  Well I'd like to say this story had a happy ending, but it did not. We were hit up for another 10K for supplies .  Our mistake, lesson learned.  Never give money up front.  Their construction crew did not know what they were doing.  After a week we decided they needed to leave as we were not only furious at the shoddy construction, but every night we would shake our heads in disbelief.  We called in a real professional who apologized that someone in his field would actually call it a professional job.  Imagine that.  We are still trying to correct the mess they left us with.  With regard to the electric work, we were naive and probably would have done things differently.  The job was ok, but just ok.  Moral of story:  NEVER give money without proof of work.  ALWAYS, know what you want and how you want it done.  ALWAYS get references.  ALWAYS get a reference from people that you know.  FINALLY, check YouTube.  There is always video for any work that can be done by yourself.  Would NOT, and WILL NOT recommend this company.

I had a complicated job to get done, and contacted a few electricians - Mike was the only one that offered a solution that didn't require going through walls and was easy on the wallet.

The project is now done, and we are very happy with how it turned out. He was very professional, gave us advice on how to handle some other electric projects, and his quote was accurate. I would definitely recommend him.

I was so lucky when Dan stopped in my yard to ask for the location of an address that was not mine. When I saw his truck, I told him that I needed some work done. After he went to his scheduled appointment, he came back to my house to give me an estimate. The price was right so I asked him to return to install an outlet and convert two fixtures to accommodate LED bulbs. He is extremely knowledgeable, efficient, personable, and professional. I highly recommend him!

They helped me figure out the problem I was trying to solve quickly, and it saved me unnecessary costs. I appreciated their quick responsiveness and competence.

Ezrick is a 5 star electrician and person. He goes above and beyond to do a great job. He also is easy to schedule with and gets a job done quickly. I highly recommend him.

Hi, I have to say,
CEL was a lifesaver.
We had 2 prior Electricians look/work on our home, and they left it worse for the wear. CEL was referred to us, and they came through spectacularly.
They replaced our panel ,added outlets and fixed our lights.
I will recommend  this company to anyone who needs Electrical help , when all others have failed

I was debating between a 4 and a 5 since I have no one to compare them to.
I called today ( a Sunday) to make a Monday appt. I was so excited when Yoni and his partner said they could be at my house within 20 min and no weekend emergency fees. That was a HUGE plus for me already. They arrived and quickly assessed the problem. I have children and had water leaking through, from outside, an electrical outlet. For 20 years I thought it was a dead outlet. I heard a clicking sound coming from the box and realized there was a live wire in the box. I was beside myself. I was so fearful of having an electrical fire. Yoni took care of the problem and also told me that my electrical breaker box should be changed because the house was so old. There was NO pressure. He just informed me of things he had noticed and offered suggestions. His prices seem really fair and I definitely liked that he was not pushy.  I had no idea who to call and read YELP reviews. I'm not very trusting and always feel I may be getting ripped off. I usually get several estimates. I actually feel confident enough, from just this experience, to recommend Danik to friends. Finally, I have found someone....in the event I need an electrician again.

I tried to change a light fixture in my very old walk up apartment and ended up disconnecting all the power for the whole place. I tried in vain to fix the issue before consulting yelp to bring in a professional. I called early on a Friday morning and Ilin was at my apartment within an hour. The job a diagnosed and fixed for a very reasonable price (for NYC prices anyway), the work was professional and more than I could have asked for given the short notice. If I have any further electrical work to have completed (although I learned my lesson and am not touching light fixtures in 150 year old apartments any more) I will call Ilin first.

Don was accessible and provided a clear estimate. Under new local fire codes we had to install emergency lighting to the front of back hallways in our multifamily home. Don got the job completed quickly and pleased with the results.

Found Eugene here on Yelp. Set up my appointment over Yelp messaging, super easy and he was immediately responsive. He showed up exactly at the agreed time, and installed my ceiling fan perfectly. I will be calling this guy for work around my house all the time now.

Did great work. But my wife had to handle payment while I was away. And he charged her TWICE what he quoted me. He also created another issue by moving our dryer in front of a window we need access to. When I reached out to him about this. He just relied thank you. Would NOT recommend.

Handymaam is everything you could ask for and more! She is able to walk through a repair with you, access the issue, and find the best solution for you and your home. I had handymaam remove my broken shower door and she did this with ease. I look forward to working with her again soon.

Had a great experience with Cooper Electrical Services. Needed additional light switches installed. Seems simple but several other electricians failed to even return my call. Roman answered immediately and set up installation for the next day at a time of my convenience. The work was done quickly and efficiently by Victor and the price was reasonable. Extremely satisfied.
