Best Electricians in New York

I've used this service on 2 occasions - both times went very smoothly.  Moe was  responsive to my initial inquiries, following up with a proposal and a reasonable estimate.  I was able to choose a day and time for the service visit that was convenient for me.  The electrician (both times, Steve) showed up within the 2 hour window they gave me.  Steve is great - knows what he's doing, works steadily, efficiently, cleanly.  In particular, he takes great care when moving his equipment in, around, and out of my apt.  I have a lot of decorative objects that some may say is almost like an obstacle course!  He paid strict attention to his surroundings, insuring nothing was damaged.  That, I was quite thankful for.  In addition, Steve is friendly and personable - laughed at my little jokes, even asked a question about some art work I have on display - all without distracting himself from his work at hand.  A pleasure to have him in my home!    Mark R.

This business/service provider is awesome, there's no need to search for another company in Brooklyn.    I will reach out to them again in the future and will recommend them to my friends and family

They were able to professionally install a wired Ring Spotlight camera and a porch light with ease. If you want your install to be completed neatly, safely and correctly you should definitely reach out to Dorian and his team.

Thanks again.

I asked Richard for some electrical changes to set up an electric pottery kiln. He did a free onsite consultation for me. Richard was very responsive and professional. He moved fast, figured out issues quickly and explained me what needed to be done clearly. He did a great job for me. I highly recommend him. I wrote him with some questions after he left and he responded me quicklyly with answers that relieved me. He is very good.

Holy mackerel!!! This guy is flexible, affordable, friendly, and amazing!!! He did my job in a quick 10 minutes and I feel confident that I would hire him again. Not only did he come with the parts needed for the job, he showed up on time and was hyper responsive. I recommend him without hesitation and will gladly let him do other work around my house. Thank you Mickhael!

I bought a mosaic lamp in Turkey last year and finally got around to trying to hang it. I read the reviews on here and thought NYC Electricians was the way to go. I wasted about a month trying to get these guys to come.  I couldn't get a hold of them via phone so I emailed them (as suggested on their site). I sent them pics of what I needed and asked if they could come out the next week to hang it.  A week goes by without hearing from them so I call them up again and finally reach someone. He says to send pics again and to let me know our availability.  An appointment is scheduled; my boyfriend takes off work to wait for them and they never show. He tries calling them and gets the old 'we're stuck in traffic' excuse.  He sets up another appt. (taking off work again).  same thing - they don't come.  I should have not scheduled again but I really wanted it hung.  The third appointment we start calling them at 8:30 am to make sure they're coming.  My guy is stuck in traffic. he'll be there in an hour. 90 mins goes by - nothing. Call back. he's on another job. I don't know when we can get out there today.  We eventually pled our case and got someone to show up, only to tell us that we needed a different lighting mount in order to hang it. THAT'S why i sent you pictures a month prior!  so you could see what you'd be dealing with.  It all worked out in our favor though. we ended up listening to a professional at Oggi Lighting in the Bowery who easily told my boyfriend how to install it.  Thanks for the abysmal customer service NYC Electricians - you saved us your overpriced $150-200 fee.

These guys worked out perfectly!

I had an office emergency & needed the electrical issue to get fixed ASAP. They arrived within one hour of me speaking w/ someone & then had the electrical issue resolved w/in about 30-45 minutes after arriving.

Overall, very professional & informative.

I'll definitely keep them in mind should I ever have any further electrical issues moving forward.

Thanks again!

Had a power outage and a bunch of lights and outlet wouldn't come back on after resetting the breaker.  Submitted a request and John offered to stop by even near midnight to take a look.  He was super friendly and professional.  Came here promptly at the time he mentioned.  

Explaining along the way the issues and possible causes.  Unfortunately this wasn't very straight forward due to new and old wiring in my 1920s house.  It was definitely a head scratcher but it appears that there's some bad wiring within the walls after quite of bit of troubleshooting.  He was able to offer a solution that didn't require having to tear down walls looking for the fault and ran a new circuit.  

It was done perfectly and he even left extra slack in the wiring in case I ever do another renovation so that the lines don't need to be done again.  He cleaned up after himself once done.  Overall A+++ service and would definitely recommend.  He's got a customer for life.  I would surely call him if I ever redo my entire electrical for my house or need electrical service on my other property.  You can't go wrong.  Good and very fair prices on top of the excellent work!!

I'm very happy all my lights and outlets are working again! :)

Sadly, I do not recommend this company for complex jobs. For running wire, they ok. However, if the project involves Sheetrock work or any construction repair, choose another company with the expertise. Their cleanliness and care for their work area is very poor. One room they did, they didn't put down plastic or tarp and as a result, we had to have the hardwood floor done over. One of the more ridiculous issues we had was when we found my son's bed slats in a door frame, because they didn't have the proper materials. There are two other slats, only God knows where they are in our walls. I can go on and on, but to relive this ordeal is quite upsetting. Their only redeeming quality was that they were very nice people. If you choose this company definitely get references and pics.
And if Ganesh claims we're not in his area, I will post the checks and receipts for what work they did.

Here is an update to my original review.  I have written this as a reply to the business owner's response as Yelp does not appear to allow me to reply publicly to the business owner.  As a side note, I am considering lodging a complaint with the Better Business Bureau regarding this incident.

Hitch, as I noted in my initial review, a civilized and normal response to a bounced/bad check should be to reach out to the person who cut the check in order to rectify the problem in a business-like fashion.  Why was I singled out to bear the burden of your mistrust of others?  As you say, you have encountered this issue before with other customers, some of whom I am sure were perfectly honest and were, like me, a victim of a misunderstanding.  Were you as duplicitous with them or did you make an exception for me thinking that I would just roll over and let this go?

You lied to my face about a problem with work that you performed.  You made me anxious about (i) the safety of the people staying in my apartment (which included a 2+ year old child), and (ii) the potential for property damage.  Hopefully you can see how twisted that is.  If not, then I feel sorry for you.

Sure, you do not have the time to wait for a few weeks for a check to clear or go to small claims court.  I understand that as I am a busy man too and I certainly did not have time to waste for you to come to my home under false pretenses.  Do you think that I have ample time to read through fine print that does not constitute a contract that I am (1) agreeing to, or (2) attaching my signature to?

If you were not comfortable with a check or if that was not your preferred payment method, you could have told me while we were conducting business in my home that Venmo, Paypal or credit card were alternative payment options.  The onus is on you (as the business owner) to inform me (your former client) of this.  Why was this not done?  Please do not rely on the fact that you sent me something in writing more than a month ago at this point.  We met face to face to settle payment when the work was done.  This could have easily been avoided if you spoke up.

More importantly, your first instinct should not have been to lie to me.  You have seen the building and the apartment I live in.  Does it look like it belongs to someone who (a) could not afford to pay your fee, or (b) would willfully and intentionally avoid payment for services rendered?  If you had even thought this through for a minute and reflected on our course of dealing, I do not think you would have approached this the way you did.

Lastly, I want to fully acknowledge the fact that you saved me significant cost with respect to my light fixtures.  Thank you for that.  However, I will also say this - cost was never an issue for me and I would have gladly hired you to do more extensive work if it was necessary.  What is important for me is that my home not be a fire hazard and that the lights function properly.  In addition, we agreed on a fee rate for the work done (in your words, let's get this down to the minute) and you wound up overcharging me for the work.  How is that fair or honest?  Again, please do not try to rely on a set of terms that we never agreed to for this work.  Especially when we had reached a hand shake deal on cost during our course of dealing.

I am sorry that things have turned out this way as well, but I have not done anything unconscionable, unethical or dishonest here.  Sadly, I cannot say the same for you.

Danny is knowledgeable, pleasant, reliable and fair. He quoted me a fair price came when he promised and did the work neatly and correctly.  He did outdoor plugs, indoor smart plugs and outdoor lights. I would use him in the future without reservation.

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.

Didn't come when scheduled or call to tell my he'd be late. I had to call him to find out where he was and he said he could come later. When he did come I had him change three lighting fixtures. He charged me $90 for each one. One of them didn't work but he charged me anyway and was going to leave me with no light there until I told him that I needed some sort of light in that room so he reattached a part from an old fixture there so I have a bulb and wires hanging out of the ceiling. Left parts of fixtures, plaster, and electrical parts everywhere. Got plaster all over my new couch. He said he'd come back and put up the new fixture when I get a replacement but I'm afraid he'll get plaster and parts everywhere so I'm going to have to go with someone else. What a waste of money.

First off when you deal with CEL Electric, you're dealing with the owner of the company not just another employee. Scott has done several projects in our 120 year old brownstone and these are not simple or straightforward jobs. The building's wiring is original and needs to be handled with great care and that's exactly what we've experienced on each job he handled for us. His electrical work is first-rate and he is meticulous working with outlets and switches on old, dry plaster walls and fans on ornate ceilings and that's something often overlooked with electricians. Each and every time I've called, he's been super responsive and we've had no qualms with his quotes. No reason to even think about using anyone else and that's a great feeling.

The power to half my house suddenly went out and I had no idea what was going on. I went to yelp and submitted some estimate requests based on the information I had. Danik not only came right away(here in 15 minutes!), but also really checked out the problem before giving me a price on the fix. The guy who came did things I didn't even think were possible - unscrewed and opened a fuse box that had several layers of paint over it without damaging the wall at all - even got a light that hasn't worked in 4 years working! He tested my wiring, found the wire causing the problem, and promptly fixed it. He even tidied up my fuse box a bit so everything works better now overall. It was stress free and fast - another thing I didn't think was possible with electrical work. I'm happy and would definitely use them again.

Ilya was wonderful and helpfull, he did great work and the price seemed fair.
He installed 4 hanging lights, and replaced all my swiches with nice new ones.He will tell you in advance what is the price and he will finish the work at the aproximate time that he tell you, I will most defenatelly call for him again.

I usually don't take time to write reviews, but I had such an amazing experience again with DLP Electric,  I had to do what was deserving. I needed to upgrade my basement lighting. Not only did Don come up and design what I needed, he did a total install that was a big job. I have used this company multiple times, and they have come through with such professionalism.  I know there are many choices out there, but as long as this company is in business, they will be my goto for any electrical needs. As for the cost, just what was quoted. The fact that they  are licensed and insured, and providing great service at fair reasonable prices is enough for me to keep coming back. Thank you DLP ELECTRIC

Excellent job, right on time, very fast taking down and putting up blinds.  Very competent. Will hire again!

I hired Avi/Electrific to sort out two malfunctioning ceiling fans. He was extremely good at scheduling, communicating, and the task. It was diagnosed and fixed quickly. I felt 100% comfortable with him in my home--he showed care in ensuring there was no damage to furniture that was near the work area and was one of the most pleasant people I've hired in recent memory. We had time during his visit to tackle a pendant fixture replacement and that was hung perfectly. I recommend him 100% and I'm not someone who recommends everyone I hire. Great work; thanks!

Katie is amazing! I called her to help with fixing a slide-out cabinet that had come off its track, and that was not staying shut properly, as well as replacing some floor trim that had been removed when I had a new dishwasher installed. As the scheduled date approached, I kept realizing all these other things I'd need fixed! Katie told me to make a list, and when she arrived, she knocked out every item on my list, even late-breaking ones! When she didn't think one solution would work to solve a problem, she came up with another. Katie clearly has tremendous expertise, but she also was great at thinking creatively, even for tasks I hadn't told her about in advance. She was totally transparent about pricing, which I appreciated, and still got the additional tasks done in the estimated amount of time. Beyond that, she is super friendly, and someone I felt so comfortable having in my home. I've recommended Katie to other friends who have all had as excellent of an experience as I did. This might sound weird but, next time something in my apartment goes awry, I'll feel relieved that I know I can call Katie!

Roman was every knowledgeable on the phone when I first reached out, made me confident that the issue could be fixed appropriately and quickly. He understood it was a time sensitive emergency and got Serafin out to my apartment after hours within two hours.

I am so incredibly pleased with the service provided by Serafin. In addition to the quality work he did, he was so kind and a pleasure to interact with. He fully explained the issue as well as the solution. Pricing was fair and upfront.

I will absolutely be calling Conquest Electric in the future should I need their services again. Would recommend them to anyone.
