Best Businesses in New York

This literally the first yelp review I ever wrote. Jimmy was a life savor!! He answered right away and was here by my apartment in 10 mins!  He was done in less than 5 mins! I would definitely recommend him. Prices are reasonable as well.

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!

Professional service provided in a timely manner.   Will use Jason for any & all electrical needs.

Worked with Mike and his team on very short notice to install emergency hall lights in condo.  Also helped in replacing outdoor outlets.  Incredibly easy to work with, cane on time for both estimate and actual job.  Job was done two days after estimate with a crew of four who completed work quickly and efficiently.  I'd recommend using them for any electrical work needed. Total pleasure to work with.

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!

I bought a cooktop that needed installation. Best Buy came out and was unable to install because of the oven and stove using the same line. I called No Shorts, and was told I could get a same day appointment. Stanley came a few hours later and created a new line, installed the cooktop, took the old one with him, all in under an hour. He was very conversational and pleasant. Very pleased and will definitely recommend. Also, the individual I spoke to on the phone was great.

Xavier was very professional and a pleasure to work with. He was on time, organized, proficient, neat and also very reasonable. He was able to come the same day I called. I would definitely recommend him and use him again for future projects.

Serge was very efficient and honest. He came on time around 10 a.m. and left his tools and the ladder after seeing the wall heights. We have 12 ft walls so he needed a tall ladder. He returned after 45 mins as there is no free parking near our Condominium and he had to park almost 7/8 blocks away. He put up all the paintings as well as the Zebra skin on the wall properly. We were delighted with his work. He didn't waste any time even though he was working on an hourly basis. He also started his time after parking the car.

I certainly recommend him highly for any installation job.

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.

They have us a very good price. They came same day. They had the part in stock. They were flexible. They fixed the issue. The price was very reasonable especially for same day. We strongly recommend them.

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.

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.

Called Ciro for a very dangerous situation.  I had a rotted window frame with the pane suspended only by the bottom corner.  The bottom of the frame was leaning against the air conditioner.  At any time, the pane could have fallen out of the frame.

Ciro responded very quickly.  He came and gave me a reasonable estimate and completed this job and another issue.  He was on time and very professional.

Thank you very much Ciro for your quick attention.

We called Ceriello to replace two burnt-out outlets in our kitchen. They sent someone the same day, and the guy they sent, Nick, was friendly, knowledgable, and had the job done quickly and efficiently. I can't recommend Ceriello highly enough! We'll definitely use them again!

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!
