Best Electricians in New York, NY

So, about two weeks ago I found a leak in my kitchen, and as a result, had to get several panels of hardwood floor removed to expose the subfloor and let it dry out. The roaches were not on board with this plan and decided that if their home was gonna be destroyed, they'd move in with me. After a week of chasing them around with can of Raid, I decided to purchase some professional grade stuff that I can spray directly into the crevices of the exposed subfloor. I'm scheduled to get new flooring put down tomorrow so today was my last chance to contain the problem.

A minute or so into admiring the precision with with which I was able to apply this life saving (or life ending if you're a bug) solution of insecticide, a huge spark launches out of from somewhere on the floor -- nearly giving me a heart attack -- and I see the green light of the outlet I'm standing next to go dim. I check my circuit breaker panel and did not notice any circuits that had flicked off. I tried turning some of them on/off anyway, but to no avail. I frantically signup for Angie's list, and begin calling every licensed electrician in my area hoping that someone is able to come in today since tomorrow at 8:30am: new floor. It was a BIG spark, and I can't enjoy my floor if I die in a fire (or the guys who are installing it do).

As I made my way down the list of highly rated electricians provided to me by Angie's List, I eventually end up calling Solomon and explained the situation to him. I was immediately grateful that he understood what had happened wasn't an emergency per se, but it was an emergency to me -- I WANT MY FLOOR BACK. He asks me to text him as many pictures as possible so he can assess the situation. I do, and less than 5 minutes later, he calls me back, and dare I say sounds happy.

Apparently what happened to me is relatively common as the wiring for GTCI outlets (the ones that have reset & test buttons) is very sensitive and didn't appreciate me spraying aerosol insecticide in its vicinity. Solomon instructed me to take another look at my circuit breaker panel. Turns out that I had reset the incorrect breaker (stupid illegible labels), and there actually was one that was not in the off position, but wasn't exactly in the on position either. I flipped it back on and problem solved.

Considering that I was ready to shell out a chunk of cash (that I don't have) to get someone to my apartment ASAP, and also knowing that the chances of even getting that to happen were slim, to say that I am thankful is an understatement, hence this review. So, no, Solomon did not actually physically fix my problem, instead he assessed, diagnosed, and fixed the problem all remotely, and for free at that. Although I never hope to again be in the market for an electrician, at least I know who to call if I ever get another I almost started an electrical fire heart attack.

A great resource for your electrical needs. We worked with Sein Me on the installation of 4 ceiling lights in our hallway. Prompt and professional interaction the entire time. We will use again!

Highly recommend Jason Klein. Excellent service and experts in the business. Very pleased with the installment of a new outlet along with a few updates for safety purposes that he suggested.

I have been searching for an electrician without success.  many never return phone calls or show up when they say they will.  I own a number of properties so having someone who is knowledgeable and responsible is important to me.  Mike and his team fit the bill.  they are professional and skilled.  I am very happy I found them and i will be using their services going forward.  highly recommended!

I had an excellent experience with Omeshwar.  He was very professional and did a great job installing a number of dimmers throughout my house.  There were a couple complicated issues that arose during the install, and Omeshwar handled them like a pro.  He was also a pleasure to work with, was great at communicating, and was reasonably priced.  Will definitely be going back to him in the future!

Really great service from Husnain! He was quick, efficient, price is fair, and very communicative. Thanks for your help!

My husband and I needed an electrician to provide an electrical upgrade quote during our final walkthrough. We did an internet search and really liked the reviews left for No Shorts Electric. I made an appointment with Mike over the phone and he was able to meet us early in the morning. During his inspection he provided us with a detailed plan on what was needed and what could be done with our home and garage. After receiving the estimate we proceeded to setup a date to have the work done. I was worried that it would take a few days, but Mike brought a whole team to knock the job out within a day. We are very satisfied with the work of his team and would recommend them to anyone in need of an electrician.

On time. Called prior to arrival. His techs Diagnosed problem in bathroom and swapped out faulty switch in 20 minutes. Billing done via email, no money changed hands. I'm assuming that will go smoothly. $150 to walk in the door. Expensive switch. Should have become a plumber.
Update. Payment was sent to my email with a $30 discount due to the easy fix. Excellent

Sergii did a great job!  He was prompt and completed the job very efficiently and neatly. His price was reasonable. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a Handyman.

Jaime did a great job installing our ceiling fans.  He was very responsive from the first call, coming over same-day to assess the job.  Weekend hours and quick to respond, worked with us to find a reasonable price.

Alex was the only one able/willing to come same day (Sunday).  He diagnosed and fixed our washing machine very quickly.  Very happy with the service, would call him again for any future appliance repairs.

Dennis and his crew did an amazing job installing my ceiling fan/light. Answered phone calls promptly, fair pricing, professional, showed up on time, and cleaned up like no one had ever been there. Can't recommend them highly enough. Will definitely use them again for any future jobs.

Topline: Thorough, patient, pleasant, dedicated to fixing the problem. Fair price. It's the kind of service that's rare. Can't recommend Eugene and Gambi highly enough.

Background:
I live in a 2-bedroom, 3yr-old condo in Park Slope. The fuse to a room that houses our washer & dryer, water heater and boiler/hvac kept blowing out last week (3x in 7-day span). Called Gambi after reading some of the positive reviews on Yelp and because he was local to the neighborhood. Called around 5pm, and he said he'd be over w/in 2 hours, arrived at 6:30pm. Fast.

Once he came over, he took a look at the fuse in the fuse box. He said it was likely a blown fuse that should be replaced. But he said it could also be, in some cases, the way the 3 power outlets were connected and spliced in the room; and that he'd like to make sure, otherwise I'd be calling again in a few weeks.

He checked the first 2 outlets in the room and saw they were without power, but the 3rd outlet in the room was essentially inaccessible, behind a stacked washer/dryer unit that was REALLY REALLY hard to reach. In fact, washer & dryer unit was in this room so tight that we've always wondered how it ever got installed in the first place. Eugene said in order to really be sure what the root of the electrical problem was, he'd need to check the outlet; so had to move the top dryer half of the unit. The man climbed a ladder, slid into the narrowest, dustiest of spaces between the dryer and ceiling to unplug the unit, turn off the gas valve.

Then we spent an hour slowly, meticulously removing the unit. Sweat, dust, strength, geometry, patience - he used all in good measure. Went to his truck 3 different times to get the right tools to unhook the gas tube, disconnect the vent, etc. Finally got the unit down, and he checked the outlet. Unfortunately, it wasn't the source of the problem - but I respect that he needed to check it to make sure. He did say the power outlet was the wrong kind - a ground wire outlet (the kind with the reset buttons you see in bathrooms), but essentially inaccessible and unnecessary. So he changed that, re-checked the wiring in the wall. Said now we wouldn't ever have to worry about the wiring in that room again. He then changed the fuse in the fuse box that he suspected was the source of the problem in the first place.

He spent another 30 minutes carefully re-installing the dryer unit and putting things back as they were (he climbed back into the narrow space to re-attach the gas valve, plug and vent. Tested the gas valve seal with soapy water to make sure it was re-attached sans leakage). He even thoroughly vacuumed the fuse box that was filled with wood dust and debris, the sloppy aftermath of lazy contractors - and the suspected source of our blown fuse, he said.

He charged me simply for the 1 1/2 hours of his time, at the rate he initially quoted me on the phone. Didn't even charge me for the new fuse he used to replace the blown one.

And beyond all that - Eugene was totally a chill, pleasant dude the whole time. Great to talk to. Explained what he was doing as he was going through everything. Never once said anything negative or sideways or expressed impatience or that passive aggressive heavy sighing bullshit.

Conclusion:
This is the kind of experience you just don't think exists anymore. The thoroughness, the desire to work at the problem until it's fixed. The helpful disposition. The straight-forwardness. The helpfulness. It was like having your expert handyman uncle or something coming over to fix something you know nothing about.

Highly recommend calling Eugene/Gambi if you ever need an electrician.

Rob Ferrito owns the company. Extremely professional in a world where contractors are no longer professional. He'll come at the agreed time, finish on the agreed finish date, and clean up behind him. He is a Professional Electrician. I could not recommend another electrician more highly. However, the service and reputation will cost you. His employees are as professional as he. You want an cheap price, call another electrician. You want an excellent job, call him.

I called up to have my room painted and tv mounted and couldn't be more happier. Ciro came to my home gave me Fair price and did the work like a real professional. I highly recommend him to anyone e looking for great work at a reasonable price.

Hired A Ceriello to install three ceiling fan controls and one additional ceiling fan.  After advising us on which materials to purchase and spending two half days in our apartment, none of these tasks were accomplished.  We spent nearly $1K in hourly wages and materials and were left with a light bulb dangling from our living room ceiling.  Could not be more disappointed.

Frontier responded to my message through the Yelp messaging system.

I called and they sent out an electrician very quickly.

Jeff diagnosed the problems, and acquired and installec the replacement parts needed.

Jeff also made some very helpful suggestions which are much appreciated.

I Highly Recommended Frontier for fast, efficient, and friendly service.
