Best Businesses 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!

Jason is always accessible and super responsive. The team did a meticulous job in installing a new electric panel and at a reasonable price too. This will be my go-to team for any electric work.

I've used Malfettone Electrical for several jobs now and am very happy with the results. They are not the cheapest, but they are highly professional, extremely efficient and very clean. Estimates and invoices are issued by email and itemized down to the last dollar. Mike is very knowledgeable and was able to give me good advice about creatively wiring some difficult spots in my old townhouse. His team is entirely trustworthy and extremely efficient, respectful of the homeowner's property and, really, if it wasn't for the bright new lights, I wouldn't have known they'd been in my house at all.

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.

This guys are the real deal. Xavier and his team are great contractors and pleasant human beings. They will arrive when they say they will and will even provide you with a heads up when they are on their way which makes it very helpful to plan ahead.

They are trustworthy and super reliable. They are the contractors you've been looking for and charge very reasonable prices. I will definitely be using them in the future for all my electrical needs.

I highly recommend Serge to anyone looking for his services! I needed my TV mounted, and he not only responded right away, but made the process seamless for me. I messaged him on a Saturday and had my installation on Tuesday.
After he mounted the TV and left, I realized I actually wanted it to be lower. I messaged Serge and he came back right away! He re-mounted the TV to my satisfaction and I'm left with a great viewing experience.
He also gave me some tips for shelving and lighting that I could install, so I may be giving him a call in the future!

We called this company based on Yelp reviews in a pinch when the old chandelier in our new house caught fire at 7:30 pm on a weekday. No kidding. We looked at 24-hour electricians with five-star reviews and Fuentes was one of them. I called, Jamie answered, I told him the issue and that I wanted the chandelier removed tonight and to go to sleep knowing there wasn't a wiring issue I needed to worry about overnight. He gave me a reasonable price to come over and diagnose the problem and said it would cost a bit more to install a new light and dimmer (once he got here and he figured out what the problem was). He was prompt, knowledgeable, friendly, and informative. We will definitely call again! Highly recommended.

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.

I had a problem changing a light switch in my kitchen. Called York Electric.  The electrician, Tommy, walked me through it over the phone. He was patient and professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing any type of electrical work.

I just used Gambi Electric for the first time, based upon their excellent reviews on Yelp, which are totally justified.  Eugene and his partner were fantastic.  They are really nice guys who diagnosed my electrical problem almost immediately as well as determining another problem with my circuit breakers that I was not aware of.  They fixed everything at a very reasonable price.  They obviously have years of experience and know what they are doing.

I immediately got a great vibe from these guys, that they are trustworthy, totally professional and good people.  I plan to use them for my future electrical jobs.  I highly recommend them.  Jeff Anderson

Hired rob to rewire my attic had some damage before from a short that went wrong, he was fair with the price and quality workmanship.

I needed an outlet replaced as well as recessed into a concrete wall of a 130 year old house. Ciro responded immediately, came by the next day to look at everything and give an estimate- which was less than anyone else and very reasonable. He arrived the next morning early to fix it. Was super professional, cleaned up after himself, was fast and even answered questions about other things around the house. It looked better than I imagined and I'll be using him for all kinds of things going forward.

To install Nest thermostats to an old heating system with separate zones will often bring a few surprises, as in my home, but which Frank and Nick addressed with competence and professionalism. The heating works well BECAUSE Frank insisted they stayed until old switches were replaced, kept communicating with us and only left once they were sure that everything was in order. Thank you!

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.
