Best Businesses in New York, NY

I have used Mike Hitchingham a few times, most recently to come into our apartment while we were away for several weeks to replace some under-the-cabinet lighting fixtures.  We did all correspondence by email including selecting the new fixtures (with some solid advice from Mike), getting a quotation, providing a down payment (to purchase the fixtures), and arrange with the building doorman to let Mike it.  We returned from our summer holiday this week, and the new fixtures were perfect -- brighter and better than before.  My only disappointment was that I did not have him replace all the similar lighting in the kitchen.  Nothing was out of place, all old fixtures, new boxes, etc. were left behind (neatly) so that we could verify the work, and the final bill came out far less than the quote.  Mike is 100% reliable and trustworthy; I could not recommend his work more highly.

Guys solved a very difficult electrical problem that several other service providers couldn't solve. Much appreciated. Superb, and a reasonable price. Can't get better than that.

Been looking for a good electrician for years now. Continually going back to the pool for one reason or another. I think I found a reliable service finally. Great work. On time and on budget. And they offer digital payments which is a nice modern touch.

Another good job (10/2020) from Mike replacing some old bad breakers in my panel that caused about 1/3 of my rooms and garage to occasionally go offline.

Ralph came and fixed several switches and a fluorescent light that no longer functioned. This company is responsive, professional, and they don't try to gouge you though they aren't cheap. But you get what you paid for. Ralph in particular was great. He was efficient, called to let me know when he was coming, professional, HONEST, and a very nice young man. I've worked with other electricians in the city and you always get the sense that they are trying to snow you without knowing what they are doing and at the same time, really try to gouge you. I plan to use NYC Electricians for all my future electrical needs, I was that impressed by Ralph and the efficiency of the company.

Funny thing; just got a call from Gasteon at Nair Electric. My review below must have just come to his attention and was adamant about never having worked for me. That was until I pulled out my diary and gave him the date, time and canceled check number he was paid with made out to CASH.

Had excellent experience with JEM electrician.  Nick had to do some troubleshooting to determine why one kitchen light fixture was not working.  I thought it was paddle switch which he replaced but he tracked it down to one faulty wire inside ceiling beneath the fixture.  Took him less than a minute to repair.  Nick was very nice, professional and definitely efficient.  Because I'm a senior citizen, the owner, John, gave me a break on the usual flat fee, something I appreciated.  Nick arrived wearing a face mask (of course).  All-in-all, I would totally recommend using JEM for any future work.

Great guys and great work. They came by and gave us a free estimate about two months ago. The estimate took about an hour and no charge. They were upfront about scheduling right now because they are very busy but said they would squeeze in an hour here and there to get it done. Between 2 visits, it took an hour and a half and the work was completed. Great pricing and great work. I'm so happy! No damage done at all in the process due to the care that was taken with rewiring. Would definitely recommend!

Came same day to repair breakers, was fast and responsive. Chris did a great job and I will hire him again!

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!

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

They did a great job, fixed my hanging fixture quickly, great price, were accommodating and followed up!  Would definitely use again and recommend.

Sent an inquiry via email and they responded immediately. Very clear communication. Arrived on time and quickly determined that the problem wasn't an electric one, so there was no charge. Definitely recommend these guys.

Don and DLP Electric provided me with excellent service and a terrific customer experience. The amount of communication and followup are unrivaled. We spoke prior to the work be quoted, he followed up with me regarding any questions.
They were able to accommodate my hectic schedule and overcome the challenges that an older house presents when completing repairs.
I was extremely satisfied with the experience and would use DLP Electric for all future service.
DLP Electric would be my recommendation to all family and friends.

When I jumped on Yelp to find an electrician to help with newly discovered wires under a shed we knocked down, G&R were certainly the most aggressive in responding and making themselves available to check out my issue.

They arrived on time, scoped out the job... and even suggested we keep the wiring for future use for a light inside the new shed.

We live in a new world, and more than ever I appreciate professionalism and a company that wants my business. G&R did a great job, and I will certainly use them again when the need arises.

When I called, they told me that they were on the way to another job but once they got an idea of how long that would take, they would message me. They then showed up in 20 minutes as they said they would. Located the source of the leak within 15 minutes and fixed it quickly in a very professional manner. No drama, very polite and reasonable. Seem very knowledgeable.

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!

Nic and Odin were dispatched by Handyma'am to help me with some household tasks and I couldn't be happier with their work. Nic painted a sliding door and transformed its grind to a glide. Odin hung 18 pieces of framed art. They both secured an IKEA bookcase to the wall to keep it from tipping over. PLUS they were friendly, answered all my questions, and gave great advice for future home improvement projects. For context, I'm a petite single woman who needs a stepladder to reach just about anything, so the tasks that took Nic and Odin a few hours to complete would have taken me weeks outside of my work schedule, and they wouldn't have been completed nearly as professionally. Handyma'am passes the vibe check with flying colors and I'd recommend them to friends and family in a heartbeat!

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!

2 days ago I had set an appointment for the electrician to come out and give me an estimat the following day at 4:30 p.m.  He never showed up and when I called him he said he thought it was at 4:30 p.m. next Wednesday and then he changed his story to he didn't have the address although I had already texted it to him and he confirmed he received it. Talk about being a liar and being confused. We then set up an appointment for the following morning at 9 a.m. . He never showed up and didn't bother calling. I am upset I left work early yesterday and I'm upset I planned on going into work late today thinking this guy would show up. He has zero respect for people's time. If he couldn't make it or was running late, a simple phone call would have been acceptable. If you respect yourself and respect your time, don't bother calling this company.
