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!

I had a great experience working with Jason and Stephen. They were both very thorough prior to even scheduling a date to perform the work. They carefully explained each product they were installing. And to help save me time and money, asked to see pictures of the area and went over a lot of the details beforehand.

They arrived promptly at the scheduled time. While at the house, they worked efficiently and cleaned up after each part of the work was completed. I would gladly work with them again on future projects around the house.

We used Malfettone Electric and they were great. My husband coordinated everything with Jason. Jason took the time to go over everything we needed done and quickly had two technicians out for the work. They were very respectful of our home and took the time to go over with us everything we needed done. Once complete they went through all the work with us to make sure we were happy with it. They are very professional and we will be using them in the future.

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.

Xavier and his crew are fantastic electricians. They've done several repair jobs for us and our HOA over the past 2 years and each time the work has been great.  Xavier himself is completely honest when it comes to logistics, suggestions, and pricing. On a recent, larger job they went above and beyond by installing a dedicated line for us that was not part of the quote. They definitely take care of their customers when they can and make sure you're in good shape at the end of any job. On top of this, they are highly professional following covid protocols, giving updates on the progress of any job, text alerts for when an electrician is arriving and done working, and detailed invoices for all work which makes working with them a breeze. I would highly recommend them.

Serge arrived exactly on time and worked efficiently. Replaced our vanity and sink with a set from IKEA which mounts to the wall (no legs), applied silicone cleanly, very happy with the result. Also communicated clearly in terms of materials and pricing. I would hire Serge again for future tasks.

Jaime from Fuentes Family Electrical helped me out big time. We were ordering new appliances and needed to coordinate the specs for the machines with the power drops in my house. I was told by the appliance store that I would need to do some electrical work to make it happen.

Jamie made it extremely simple. He was helpful, very personal, interested, super knowledgable, and just nice. He offered to come over and assess the problem by morning, and even to walk me through it on the phone right there.

I actually didn't need his services in the end, but I will be calling for all of my electrical needs in the future.

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.

My experience with York Electric has been superlative.  Professional, knowledgeable, prompt and competitively priced.  I have used them for both major renovations and minor maintenance work.  They delivered on what they promised and that is rare today amongst contractors.  The team completed my projects in a timely manner and made a point of keeping the facilities/home neat and clean.  Make sure that you give them a call before you settle on any other electrical contractors!

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.

I called Ceriello and they gave me an appointment for the next business day (which was Tuesday after a holiday) 8:30am.  Marvin came by and saw it was a bigger problem so we rescheduled for the next day same time. He came back, did some trouble shooting and while this old building requires a bigger job, he explained very clearly what would need to happen, provided good options and came up with a reasonably priced and option to complete in the meanwhile. It was all done safely and clearly. Highly recommended.

Avoid at all costs.  I asked the guy (Jeff Brausewetter) to install a 220v outlet for a new dryer and he said he needed to put in a new breaker box.  I paid for it, and he came and installed it; he told me he was almost done but just needed to get the part for the outlet.  Then he stopped answering the phone or replying to my texts.  Finally he replied saying that he had been locked out of his phone and would sort me out, but after that he became unresponsive at the new number too.  Finally I had another electrician out (Riviera Electric, recommended).  He explained that (i) Jeff's breaker box was completely useless, and (ii) he hadn't actually done anything except for screwing the box onto the wall - no wiring or anything.  So, I'm out over $300 with nothing to show for it except for a useless breaker box that I'm going to have to throw away.  BEWARE!
