Best Businesses in New York

I had an upcoming pool party and the pump wouldn't start. I needed an emergency visit since the party was in 4 days. Tony responded within an hour of my online request and set up a visit. He was easy to deal with and he figured out the issue (timer relay and worn outlet). Job was done quickly. Only issue was the visit/consultation fee, which was above Home Advisor's NJ avg rate. It was an emergency so it may have factored in to cost.

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.

Excellent! Without hesitation, I recommend RJ Russo.  Professional, honest, super nice and very knowledgeable.  If you need an electrician, this is the guy to call.

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 called around 2:30 to explain the problem and because there had been a cancellation, someone was able to come out within an hour! He rewired an outlet and installed two new GFI outlets. The electrician was great and answered some other questions I had. Great, quick service and it seemed like a reasonable price to me!

Great service! Very fast response on Sunday and arrived exactly I tine and fixed lighting and power issue at my Apartment less than an hour. I am really grateful and satisfied with the service!

I called them last night for an outlet that had been sparking. We were afraid and expressed our concerns about  the outlet causing a fire.  They sent Jurgen out shortly after and he explained why it was sparking and gave me safety instructions for the future. He repaired my outlet quickly, was very professional and cleaned up after himself. He also left us with a sense of safety.  I will recommend All Star  to all my friends and family.

Our experience was not a positive one, and recommend caution before considering Baran Electric to do work for you.
The electricians sent to correct our path lights did not arrive with the correct materials and with the clock running went to purchase what was needed adding time and cost to the job.  After doing the work, we had multiple situations when the path lights would not work.  This resulted in me having to reset the outlets installed.  I reported this to Dan who told me this could be caused by other problems with my lights, and was most likely not his work that was at fault.  You would think a responsible professional would come by, he is just a few miles away, to see if there was anything done by Baran Electric that could have caused the problem.  Instead I was told I would be charged a minimum of $125 if he didn't think his work could have resulted in the problems we were experiencing.  I regret ever using Baran Electric.  My path lights are not working after paying fully for the work done, and was spoke to in a rude manner by Dan.

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.

It took them at least 2 months to get a light out to me (hence the 4/5), but it was exactly what I needed and asked for. Worked with Dimitri. They're very busy so expect a wait. Don't fret, he'll always be in touch when he has an update (aka the manufacturer finally sent them your stuff). They work with multiple manufacturers so sometimes it takes a while.

I contacted this company about having extensive work done in our apartment, and Paul came out right away and spent a good deal of time discussing the work, what it would entail and was very friendly. He promised me an estimate by email the next day (this was in mid-October). The estimate never arrived.
A few weeks later I tried following up and finally, after a few tries by email and phone, Paul called me back last week and apologized -- it seemed very sincerely -- for having forgotten about me and promised he'd look up his notes and get back to me. He didn't.
I called today (Dec. 10) to see what was up. Paul answered the phone, said I'm sorry but we're not going to be able to do the job, and hung up on me before I could ask why.
I won't interpret anything into this. It's never happened to me before. No explanation? Very disappointed.
