Best Electricians in New York, NY

This is not our first dealing with Tony, but is our first time utilizing his services. We got a quote from him previously for a chandelier install. He was slightly higher than another service, so we went with the lower priced guy. Big mistake! We wound up paying over 3x the quoted amount. That is why we called Tony for this next project. We spoke on the phone, I emailed him photos of the room and existing fixture. He gave a price which we felt was more than reasonable. He showed up when promised. He was very professional. He and his guy worked quickly and efficiently, moving necessary furniture out of the way and back once completed. Other than the new fan, you'd never known he was there.... My wife and I are already talking about bringing him back to do some more lighting work for us possibly in the spring. We highly recommend Diamond Electric!

Very impressed with this company after their appointment this morning, installing two new outlets for the new dryer I bought. I had a very friendly electrician named Eddy who did a fast job and gave me a small discount after I asked.

Needed an electrician in a hurry!  A light socket in my basement tripped the circuit & I could not reset the circuit breaker.  And it took out the whole wall including cable tv phone internet & wifi!  I called Mr Russo and he was at my house in half an hour on a Saturday in the pouring rain.  He fixed it quickly for a reasonable price.  He is pleasant & friendly.  I would recommend him & will definitely call him again when I need help.

Wow  !  fantastic    service.   i  called  for  a   couple  of    electrical   problems in my  apartment.    burnt  out    outlet and   no lights in  back  rooms.     the   electrician  arrived  exactly on time, as he   said  he  would  when i called  the night   before.    he  completed  the    job   in  about   20   minutes.    he  replaced the    burnt  out  wall  unit,   plugged  in my   AC    restored   lights  in  back  room.     fast,   efficient,   clean  worker.      whether  you  have a  small or  big  job,  this    is  the company  to  call.    the  price ????    perfect  !!   very  low  .

What a professional group.
Neat
Clean
Efficient

They set the bar for excellence.

I'm pretty sure I found these guys on Yelp 2 years ago, so I'm not sure where all the other reviews went.  Maybe they were located somewhere else?  Long story short,  Sherlon is the man, and these guys are the real deal.  

If you own your place or the landlord gives you carte blanche to reach out to an electrician/contractor/plumber, EB gets it all done on the first try (not necessarily one visit, but they don't make mistakes).  I've worked with them twice (and know others who have had similar great experiences) and both times I felt confident in the quality of their work, and you could honestly tell they appreciated the business.

Never showed up for appointment, even though I confirmed and received confirmation email.  The no-show was huge hassle for us as we removed two flat screen TVs from wall and moved furniture in order to accommodate the work being done.

Used the Yelp quote service.  

Called and texted Fayiz multiple times morning of appointment.  He never called back.  He ended up texting saying I never confirmed appointment.  When I screenshot the confirmations he said that didn't matter because he claimed to ask a question that I didn't answer so based on that he didn't show up the next day.  When I asked him to send me screenshot of question (because I had no idea what he was talking about) it was not a question, it was a statement about the work.  He claimed it was a question, he just didn't put a question mark in text, which was confusing.  

Whatever, mistakes happen and if this was a scheduling error that is okay.  But he was unprofessional in how he handled it, never accepting responsibility, and wasting numerous texts telling me this was my fault which was the red flag for me. I ended up blocking his number.

If you are going to hire him (he seems to have decent reviews for work) then I highly suggest you confirm the appointment repeatedly, and hope the project goes well.

Called at 10:16 AM, they were out at 11:13 AM that same day.  2 technicians (Gino and Erwin) diagnosed and fixed the problem (loose wire in the chandelier) in 25 minutes.  Charged $76.50 (included a 10% discount).  Price was a bit steep for the limited time they were here, but worth it because it was fixed quickly and efficiently.  Appreciate it!

Baran Electric was very responsive in terms of providing a quote, they guys showed up on time, did the work in the amount of time that was estimated, and they were friendly and willing to explain to me what they were doing and why, which I found to be really helpful and respectful.   Only negative point was the miscommunication on whether travel time would be billed, but they took the travel time off the bill right away when I said it wasn't part of the quote that I received.

Friendly service by really knowledgable guys.  Would hire them again in a second.

update 2 years later:  they are now calling themselves NY Empire Electrical Contracting.  Don't be fooled. They suck.  An outlet they installed has never worked in my mother's apartment.  She called them, they came, pressed the reset button and left, then sent a $200 bill. Really.

update 7 months later:  their work has now failed inspection three times.  they send someone different each time.  it never ends with these guys.

Poor communication with the client and with each other, no supervision, just awful.  What should have been about 2 days of work took at least 6 visits, I think more, but I lost count.   I realized belatedly that they had to be watched every minute.  If there is a way to do something wrong, they will do it.

One time I had asked them to change a switch and they instead changed the bulbs.  Really.  Then they left.  

Another day, somehow they misunderstood my super, who told them they could not channel the ceiling (it's concrete).  They thought they could not channel the wall, which makes no sense, as they had done so everywhere else throughout the apartment.  Without notifying me (the client!), they made the attached mess on the walls using wire mold.  Luckily I came home early that day!

I had no problem with the demeanor of the people on the phones, but they don't add anything to the process.

I discovered this hidden gem in Chelsea quite by chance. An employee from one of the local design stores recommended G & G Electric.  It's a very busy store so don't expect to be catered to. The employees are handling several orders & they could definitely use an extra salesperson. G & G's selection offered a higher quality/ professional look (no cheap trim like at Home Depot) and the price was pretty comparable.

This isn't a glitzy lighting store, it's all in the name G & G Electric Supply Company  Not Designers Showroom.  They are very knowledgeable and I like the selection. They have a nice range of lighting with a variety of sizes on view. I like the fact they display the lights on the ceiling, as you would find them post-installation.

Additionally, I'm very grateful to G & G for helping me out after my contractor made the mistake of installing the wrong dimmers with the new LED lights I'd purchased from G & G. The lights were affordable, looked great but were humming loudly. It wasn't a low level noise, it was clearly audible & very annoying. I've heard that LED lights can do this, along with an annoying flicker. I returned and asked G & G and they told me to upgrade the dimmer switch. It turns out that the contractor installed a cheap one (no surprise). I went and purchased the new dimmer switches, had the contractor install them and problem solved.

Thanks G & G !
