Best Electricians in New York, NY

NOTE: This review was written about month after the work was done, so I can't remember all the details perfectly, and as such am giving the electrician the benefit of the doubt where appropriate.  ;-)

I contacted them and clearly specified that I wanted to have the following installed:

- a new ceiling fan/light fixture, with a dimmable light/remote to be connected to it

- two new ceiling lights, with a new dimmer wall switch to be installed for each of the two new lights

When I made the appointment, I asked if I could get Mo, Warren or Eugene, and...surprise, surprise, I was told that '...it all depends on who's available on that date... we'll have to see...however all our people are pros...blahblah' (though Yelp reviews here suggest otherwise...)

I forget the name of the guy who came...maybe Eugene(?).  I just know that it was not Mo, Warren or Randy.

The guy who came was nice and personable enough, and was clearly experienced  However there were a few small things...

Regarding the ceiling fan that has a single light fixture (completely encased under a slippery glass 'dome'...horribly designed, and now impossible to remove, should I ever want to change the bulb.... Argh!) ...anyway, the lighting which I wanted to be dimmable.... I was told in advance that I'd need to purchase a remote intended for use with a ceiling fan, and that would work with a dimmable bulb.  I'm not an electrician, so I don't expect to understand how the light/fan/bulb/remote should intersect with one another or how they should be installed.  That's why I hired a professional electrician.  But at the very least, I know that I purchased the appropriate remote to work with a ceiling fan and a dimmable bulb.

Net, net, it turns out that apparently my particular ceiling fan/light only works with CFL bulbs, and as it also turns out....CFL bulbs are more or less Not Dimmable(?!!)  So.... after my spending all that money for a dimmer, it turns out my light is ultimately NOT dimmable.  In retrospect, it's unfortunate that the electrician didn't know this after reading all the installation directions...after reading the lighting fixture specs??... it's unfortunate that the company didn't forewarn me or inform me that installing a ceiling fan/light, and wanting it to be dimmable, is even more complex than I originally realized??

Once the electrician finished installing the ceiling fan/light, he then moved on to installing my two new ceiling lights.  He started installing the new light in my living room area (...I was nearby working on my computer), and I looked up to see that.... he had simply taken a guess as to which light I wanted in the living room, without actually checking with me first.  Thankfully he hadn't gotten far in the process, so I was able to stop him and tell him he was putting the wrong fixture in the living area ceiling.

The company had told me in advance that if I wanted new dimmers installed, it would be best if I purchased them myself in advance, as it would cost more $ if they had to purchase them FOR me.  So I went to Home Depot, and picked up dimmer switches for the wall.  Unfortunately, as I later realized, dimmer switches are essentially just the electrical component of the dimmer.... they don't come with 'wall plates' to cover up the rest of the area around the dimmer switch itself.  (Never having bought dimmers before, and also buying multiple dimmers at Home Depot...multiple LCD bulbs to try out etc....  why would it have occurred to me that I'd also need totally new wall plates...that my existing ones would no longer work?  

So...  after the work was all done, I had to make another trip to HD to purchase wall plates.  It would have been nice if the company had mentioned this to me when they first suggested I purchase my own dimmer switches.  Like I said, I'm not the expert here... I've never had electrical work like this done before...so why would this detail have occurred to me?

Net, net, they accomplished what I wanted for the most part.  I now have a terrific ceiling fan over my bed.  It's installed evenly, and the moving blades are totally silent.

As for my two new ceiling lights, they look so much nicer than the old-school NYC rental apartment ceiling lights that my cheapo LL had put in.  AND they both dim!  Beautiful!!

I have nothing but praise about my experience with Titanium Electrical moving a junction  box and installing a chandelier in my living room. Starting from when I first reached out on  Yelp for an estimate, they were extremely responsive - even willing to talk on a Sunday to answer my question and get more details on the job so they could provide an accurate quote . They also responded immediately to my follow up texts.
Day of went extremely well and the team was great at making adjustments on the spot to adjust for some unknowns that came up that pictures alone could not reveal. They are even coming out next week to make a small tweak (completely my fault as they asked me about it onsite and I changed my mind after the fact). I'm extremely particular and they exceeded all expectations even cleaning up after themselves and wearing masks and shoe covers throughout. I highly recommend

I had a circuit blow during a rainstorm which caused all the lights in the apartment to go out. Thought it was going to be a big job, but Rich was able to come early the next morning and fixed it in 20 minutes. His rate is reasonable. Highly recommend!

I requested a quote from Mickhael this morning to install three ceiling fans in my apartment. He called me within an hour and was at my apartment by mid-day. He was very courteous, polite, and professional, and did a fantastic job for a reasonable price. He even installed a different light switch for me for barely any additional cost. I'll happily call him again when I need more work done around the apartment.

AMAZING JOB! - I had an apt booked for Friday (2 days from now)  to help with lighting and bulbs and transformers,  they called and said they had someone in the area who could come today - His name is Ralph and he ROCKS! - knew exactly what had to be done, gave great suggestions, and even went over and above to check circuit breakers as he noticed some burnt wires, turns out I need a bigger circuit box as mine is overloaded - I will be using New York City Electricians from now on.. Excellent job, kind and super helpful! THANK YOU RALPH - We really appreciate it!!

Gaston did a terrific job for us. We needed an outlet relocated for a new above-range microwave and he did the job professionally and quickly.

When the appliance installers came and decided that they didn't express their desired location properly, Gaston came back and relocated it again at our convenience and considered it a follow-up to the original work. He didn't pull a shady move and charge for a second job. He also worked with our carpenter to help take apart our kitchen cabinets. We understood right away that Gaston puts a higher premium on doing the job correctly than making a short-term profit.

We highly recommend Gaston and Nair Electrical and he'll be our go-to guy for any work we need done in the future.

Fantastic experience with John and his team. Right from the beginning of the process: John was very responsive in taking calls and talking through options.  His team did great work, on short notice, and at a reasonable price. He took the stress out of what can otherwise be a very stressful process. Thank you!

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.

Picture this; a hot and muggy New York City night, fresh groceries in the fridge, and work on the horizon. But one thing... no power in my entire apartment. I'm no dummy but I'm certainly no electrician either. Our building super was on vacation and our office wasn't picking up the phone. My wife and I were at a serious crossroads. I went to Yelp, obviously, and found these guys because t said thy were still open this late on a Sunday night (10 pm). I worked with Mike and he assisted me with getting the electricity back on in my apartment. He walked me through testing each circuit to figure out which was the faulty one. He was patient, calm, and knowledgeable. I have his name and number proudly taped to the inside of my breaker box should I ever need him to come and do some work for us.

To Mike, thank you so much!

I called Conroy electric and the owner was very nice  I have electrical problems in my house I have light fixtures  that didn't work I have switches and outlets that did not work and my fuse box was outdated he install new switches a new fuse box now all the electric Works GREAT in my house. He did a wonderful job his prices were very fair and I would hire and over and over again until he retires I am going to tell my friends and my family about him.

Quick to respond and set up time with me! I needed a burned out outlet replaced and they came by a day or two later. Pricing was slightly higher than with others I reached out to but not too much. Would work with them again. Thanks!

I had a simple (or so I thought) job to install a light fixture. I called several electricians who quoted me what seemed like exorbitant rates, but Rick came through with a very reasonable $60. As it turns out the job wasn't so simple - my light fixture was blown and I had to get it rewired. Rick was very patient, explained just what I needed to get done, and then came back and did the actual installation when the fixture was fixed for free. Really quality service and I'll be relying on the Eco Electrician for all my electrical needs going forward!

We bought a 2 family home in Brooklyn and Cel Electric installed new electrical service for the entire house. Very happy with the service.. will definitely recommend and use them for all my future needs. Will rate them 10 out of 10.

Needed two outlets replaced. Called up Danik based on all the positive reviews. Told them my problem and they offered to come by the same day, which was great. Yoni was very helpful and took about 30 minutes. I was very impressed and will call on them again if I need more work done.

I am late to post this review, but it is rare that you deal with people this honest. Ilya came promptly and fixed the issue with my oven, as well as looking at a few other minor electrical issues in my home. Then when I accidentally overpaid him by writing the check incorrectly, he swiftly repaid me via Venmo. I was amazed and heartened. I highly recommend!

I recently hired Don at DLP to install some direct lines and help with some trouble shooting around my house. It's an older home that was re-modeled, so it has some quirks to say the least. Don was able to figure out and fix some spotty work done by previous contractor. I found him to be very honest, fair, and pleasant. He certainly does quality work. I would recommend him to anyone and will have him back for additional work the house still needs.

Since we wanted to install a new dishwasher, we looked for a plumber through yelp and found Sergey. He gave us an estimate after we send him some photos. He was polite and did a great job. Price was fair. Thank you Sergey!

After an initial problem involving miscommunication on both sides, I ended up contracting with this company. I found their customer service and quality of work to be excellent. Although this was a relatively small job, it was handled with care and professionalism. My husband and I were very pleased with the service.

Katie was wonderful as was the Handyma'am team! Finding a decent handy person has always been a struggle so I'm thrilled to have found the company. Communication was seamless and they arrived on time and completed all of the tasks on our list in a timely manner. They were clean, quiet and totally professional. Given we have a small baby in the house they were quiet and at times we didn't even know they were in the apartment!  Katie was very familiar with our old tricky plaster walls and came with the right tools to do the job. They were also very safe, with covid testing practices in place as well as mask wearing the entire time they were working. Looking forward to hiring Katie again for some other projects we have lined up. Highly recommended!

Ramon was very personable and fairly prompt.  He used a little pen like device to repair relatively all of my fixture problems.  He proceeded to go to his truck (when he got back quite some time later he said that he didn't have the correct light dimmer switch so he went to Gracious Homes down the block) to obtain a switch to replace mine.

After he left I noticed that the switch was not turning on the light immediately after I pressed it on.  I called Ramon and he said that it would cost me an additional $180  if the problem was my fault...
I chose to forego his additional visit.

Several weeks later all of the blown out bulbs that were fixed we're inoperable again.

I am extremely disappointed in this serviceman's operational integrity. He does not stand behind his service and the repair of my antique lighting was only very temporary for a cost of $180+ the cost of the new inferior switch.

Better to research your repairman more thoroughly next time! Roman kept telling me that my antique dining room fixture was old and I should just replaced it even though I explained that it had been my mother's fixture and meant a lot to me!

Ramon...In answer to your retort...my antique fixture was refurbished with new wiring and polishing about eight years ago when I moved from my house into the city.  It is a cherished lighting fixture and I relied on you to correctly fix it...not temporarily use a fix it pen for the repair.  

In addition the main reason I recalled you was because the switch you replaced in the dining area does not work properly. There is a distinct pause before the fixture actually operates.  This has remained the main problem I have with your service...there is no spontaneity for the light to function.  This was why you said you'd charge an additional $180!
Every time I put that light on it malfunctions. There is no reason for a brand new switch to do that at any time!

Let's get the story straight!
