Reviews
I can't even begin to explain the amount of panic I was in when I called New York City Electricians. I had an incident in my apartment with one of my electrical outlets and was desperate for someone to come out and take a look right away. I spoke to George on the phone who immediately put me at ease. I explained the situation and he worked to get someone out to me within a few hours and I was so appreciative. Not only that, but he continued to update me on the technicians arrival time and checked in throughout the process which is not a level of communication you usually get with NY. Emilio was the technician who arrived and he was very professional and handled the job thoroughly and within 30 minutes. I am forever thankful for how professional and quickly they handled the job and will be using them again should I ever have another electrical issue! Can't thank the team enough!
I needed two lights to be fixed, once the appointment time was set up, Antonio arrived and was very professional and super quick!

Waited weeks for an electrician w numerous texts, emails and phone calls w Alex. On more than two occasions we were told someone would arrive between a 2-3 hr window. No show. Today, when someone did show up, he seemed disoriented, elderly, and possibly intoxicated. I had to help him put his shoes on while he had a sever flatulence issue. No regard for his surroundings. We could barely understand his speech. Definitely not someone we wanted to work w the electricity in our home.
Ralph came immediately!!!! He probably saved our lives. I initially hired a cheap guy who left matches all over the furnace.
He explained exactly what he was doing so I could understand the furnace.
I highly recommend this company. Easy ,great communication , and professional.
I'll give them a different review when they actually bother to get back to me ... they're supposed to be 24 hours... ? I left 3 messages on their answering service and 2 texts for them yesterday starting from the late morning to late evening and no one got back to me - so far, NOT impressed. Not getting back to a potential customer ? Not professional.

This company was great for fixing electrical issues in two ceiling fans in my apartment.
When I called, they provided a quote that was reasonable (when compared to other places I called) and as a new customer, fit me into their busy schedule within 48 hours.
I would also recommend the electrician who stopped by, Ralph, who was prepared (even brought a replacement receiver for the fan) and professional. He would walked me through what he was doing constantly and was not pushy. He identified that the fans were improperly wired immediately and worked quickly to fix the issue.
I hope that I don't have additional electrical issues, but will call NYC Electricians if I do.
Rip off artists! Quoted me $8,600 to fix an issue at my business. I called another licenced electrician and he resolved the issue for $220!!!!
These guys played with the wiring, then shut off the breaker. The electrician that came later said the wiring was messed with by someone and it was a very simple fix. (I didn't tell him there was another electrician there earlier in the day! )
Update: I had another issue with wiring and called them again. Mark came over promptly and fixed it for FREE! That's right. I was not charged for the follow up visit or any work that ensued. This company is ethical and professional. I highly recommend them.

Ralph came over to fix what I thought was a lose connection in my track lighting but was actually a small electrical fire which had been burning inside the metal box of my ballast for 4 days! He also completely replaced my circuit breaker (which should have turned the power off to the over-heated ballast) all in one day working through lunch and without breaks to be sure my kids and I could sleep at home that night without any risk. He even found where the main circuit in my overloaded circuit breaker was burning through and also ready to cause a fire. I have never written a review before but this was the best experience I'd ever had with an electrician. Thank you Ralph!

Glacially slow to respond and when they did they asked for more information (which I gave). I've still not heard back from them - taking my business elsewhere as should you. Waste of time.
Ralph is a godsend. Best electrician hands down. Our landlord sent 8 different people come into our office space to fix our heating - nothing worked. Needless to say, this winter has been brutal and our patience was growing very thin.
Within less than an hour Ralph identified the issue, gave us an in-depth explanation of what's going on and various ways he can fix it - long term and short term. He was able to get everything done for us quickly and within budget.
Beyond the fact that the heat is actually working now, he was fast, clean and gave us suggestions for improvements to our system - like cleaning out the boiler room to avoid a fire and getting a carbon monoxide monitor to ensure we're safe.
We'll never call another electrician again. Ralph - thanks for everything! You're the best.

Ralph, best spark in NYC!
NYC Electricians were great to communicate with, on time, and lovely to work with.
Ralph worked quickly and efficiently, and really knew his stuff. He was great about explaining things, and did some smart troubleshooting to save us money and time.
Thanks NYC Electricians & Ralph!

Wow. I had a neighborhood handyman come out to look at an electrical issue we were having with the outlet our microwave plugs into. He did some troubleshooting and found that we needed to run a new wire from the circuit box to the kitchen. It took him a solid 4 hours to figure it out. The work he said needed to be done would cost well over $2k and take nearly a week to run the wire, spackle, repaint, etc.
Because that seemed like a lot to shell out, I contacted a few other electricians (see another review of mine for a bad experience). I emailed NYC Electricians and they were very responsive, even over Labor Day weekend. They gave a time window for when the electrician would come out and Ralph and George came out at the start of the time window. Ralph did his own troubleshooting and found the problem was actually with wiring to a GFCI outlet. He did some rewiring of the outlets and in about 45 minutes had everything done and working at a small fraction of the cost the handyman quoted. Ralph was also respectful of our apartment, taking his shoes off instead of tracking dirt from work boots all around the apartment, and he cleaned up all the debris from cut wires etc too.
Lesson: use real professionals. When we need electrical work we'll definitely call Ralph.
We had to make an emergency call late at night and none of the 24/7 service electricians picked up nor returned our call.
Finally, we found NYC Electricians and Anthony picked up, took our information, sent Mark to our place within an hour.
He was super efficient and professional. Saved us from possible worst case. He kindly suggested us for an upgrade for our box and check up on small things-we will for sure call them again to make an appointment and ask for Mark. He is the best.
These guys saved me on a Sunday. Our business lost power over the weekend and we needed to be open on Monday. The electrician met me early Sunday morning, spent the day tracing wires through our old building, and identified the problem. Somehow they found us a replacement part on a Sunday afternoon and got everything back running again. I was in a major bind and they were amazing - quick to respond, effective, and easy to communicate with.

I called NYC Electrician and left a message over the weekend and never received a call back. Three days later (today) I called NYC Electrician again and spoke with Anthony, who was easy to speak with and scheduled me a same-day midday appointment with Ralph who was already in the neighborhood. Ralph gave me a call 30 min in advance so I could meet him at the apt, and fixed both minor recessed light issues very quickly and with a smile (total time was approx 35min). He was very polite and friendly and diagnosed the issues (#1 - recessed light socket needed to be replaced and #2 - recessed light transformer needed to be replace) and proceeded to make the repairs.
My only gripes are that my initial call was never returned and the opacity of the service charges. The replacement parts I described cost less than $20 in total, but I paid more than 15 times that. But at least he got it done and quickly.

It's true, these guys are real pros. I was renovating my kitchen in my apartment, I needed to rewire and install a circuit breaker box. I received an estimate from these guys first but everybody said I need to get at least three estimates. I wish I never waisted my time with other unreliable contractors and just handed the job to them immediately. Mark came on time and finished on schedule. He even came back on the second day and redid work which he thought could be better. Everything came out great.
Thanks Mark and Anthony
Ralph is my hero!!!
I am a single gal on the UWS and needed emergency electrician services (on a holiday weekend!) and Ralph was knowledgeable, professional, polite and downright pleasant.
I was obviously concerned about letting a man into my apartment late at night, but I was 100% at ease with Ralph. He identified the problem quickly and explained everything to me. Upon request he spoke to my landlord and made sure that everyone understood what was going on.
Only constructive feedback I have for the company is for their point person on the phone to be more communicative about setting up the appointment and the expected arrival time.
Thanks Ralph!
Very unprofessional and tried to convince me I needed much more work done than I did. I sought another opinion and it was fixed in under an hour for less than the service call from NYC Electricians.

I ONLY requested a quote from NY City Electricians. I received emails from a number of other companies that I had NOT contacted. I called NYC Electricians and asked if they just passed on referrals but they said they did not. They claimed they had not responded because their computer system was down but they would send me the estimate that day. They never sent an estimate but the other companies continue to send me emails. I'm not sure NYC Electricians is a real business.

Long Island City Business. Called Anthony who sent Mike to help us to fix our table saw problem. Problem solved in a few hours with professional friendliness. Overall I am happy with their timeliness, quality of service and provision of information. Highly recommended and an A* service provider.
P.S. The more information you provide them the quicker they can help you photographs, intel, address, contact numbers.

I can't say enough good things about NYC Electricians and Ralph. I contacted them yesterday for some rewiring of my under counter lights in my kitchen. They reached out to me immediately and sent Ralph over today. Ralph is a gem. He recognized the problem right away, ran out to get the appropriate parts, came back and fixed my lights! He also took a look at my circuit breaker box and made some excellent recommendations that I will be fixing within the next few months since it is a big job. Thank you to NYC Electricians and Ralph. I would highly recommend you to my friends and plan on keeping you in mind if anything else comes up.
really slow efficiency from the workers....they even took a long time just to reply my message...not a really good experience
I was going to hire New York City Electricians for some work that I needed done on my apartment, but the person I spoke to over the phone (Charles) hit on me while scheduling the appointment. It was very unprofessional and inappropriate. I will not be using this service.

I thought that the service was fantastic. While there was a little confusion in getting the job set up, once confirmed, everything went great.
Mark was our electrician, and he was incredibly friendly and helpful. They gave me a very reasonable quote, especially compared to competitors, did not try to upsell hard. Which was good and partly why I went with them.
They were meant to fix a set of recessed lights in the guestroom, and not only did they complete the job quickly within a few hours, they also help the entire cleanup including vacuuming.
A couple times I had to leave the apartment briefly to run errands, and I felt very comfortable doing while leaving them to the work.
Mark was very trustworthy, reliable, and efficient. I would use them again gladly.
Let's start with the bad and end on a high note.
We needed the voltage converted on 3 outlets. I called and Anthony quoted us a reasonable price, so we scheduled a time for them to come in and make the switch for us. We ended up having to reschedule 3 times! Finally, when our technician came (3 hours later than the scheduled time on the third attempt) he let us know that the price for what we wanted was much higher than we were quoted. This was utterly frustrating, to say the least.
Now the good. Our technician Mark got on the phone and they were able to meet us another reasonable (yet higher) quote for the conversion. Mark worked swiftly and was very pleasant about the whole experience. The total job took a little over an hour and everything is working as we asked.
I suppose scheduling is an issue with any company like this, but I would like to get a heads up and be notified instead of chasing them down to find out why our technician is an hour late before finding out the appointment needs to be rescheduled.

AMAZING JOB! - I had an apt booked for Friday (2 days from now) to help with lighting and bulbs and transformers, they called and said they had someone in the area who could come today - His name is Ralph and he ROCKS! - knew exactly what had to be done, gave great suggestions, and even went over and above to check circuit breakers as he noticed some burnt wires, turns out I need a bigger circuit box as mine is overloaded - I will be using New York City Electricians from now on.. Excellent job, kind and super helpful! THANK YOU RALPH - We really appreciate it!!
These guys were amazing! My HVAC unit blew out my circuit breaker box and they came right away, diagnosed the problem, and didn't stop working until everything was finally fixed at 2am (on a Saturday too!). Ralph was great and professional, always keeping us informed of the progress and going the extra mile to make sure we were able to get the right parts and get the repairs done as quickly as possible. I would definitely use these guys again.
After I tried and failed spectacularly at installing a pendant light in my ceiling, Ralph came out and both made sure I hadn't done any damage and got my pendant light up--all in less than thirty minutes! It was also quite affordable, making me realize I shouldn't have tried to do it myself when there are such good, affordable people out there like Ralph and New York City Electricians. I can't imagine using anyone else for any electrical work. Thanks!
I was having heating issues in my apt. The guys came in and quickly found the problem and installed a new heater the very next day. I didn't have to wait long. They answered every question and concern that I had. From my current stance, my home is toasty and warm. Thanks guys!
I have no idea how NYCE work actually is as they never showed up for our appointment - twice. I understand if they are busy, and I'd even understand if they called to reschedule, but neither happened. Just a no-show. Very disappointing.

Mustafa Ali was polite, professional, and couldn't be more efficient of an electrician. Call him directly for his awesomeness: 917-359-3624! I blew a breaker which called him randomly off of Yelp. He was here in less than an hour, gave me a $150 first hour rate to trouble shoot and fix over the phone. He fixed the breaker in the box, switched out broken outlets, and a dimmer and was completed under an hour.
Can I get on the bandwagon of team Ralph?! What an amazing technician!!! Had a massive electric problem where we had to rewire my whole apt... He not only did that, but he cleaned up afterwards and plastered the walls too... And did it in time for me to catch my flight!!! All the while with a smile and the best disposition ever... I'm a little hesitant to want to get the word out about Ralph because now he'll be so popular, but I can't keep this in... EXCELLENT service... I will ONLY be requesting him from now on!!!!!!!

Ralph and Marlon did an amazing job! I was expecting a big mess, not to mention an ordeal related to the repair of a ceiling fixture with 6 bulbs from the 1950s. Ralph diagnosed the problem immediately, and with the help of Marlon, had me up and running in under 1/2 hour.
What a team!
Thank you, New York City Electricians!
An electrician named Ralph came and took care of some messed up outlets on my roof; he was super-professional, got everything replaced and working quickly and clearly (the wiring had been done badly when the building was put up) and was really pleasant to work with too. Highly recommend this company, if guys like this are the ones doing the work!

Called these guys and spoke to Anthony. Per his request, sent him an email detailing my needs, and he never received a follow-up call. I called him back twice & finally he set up an appt for someone to come out to take a look & give me a quote. Mark comes over & I showed him the fixtures to be installed and other re-wiring work. By my estimation the main part of it was going to be about 6-8 hours of work for one person.
I probably shouldn't have mentioned that I had a special time constraint -- I wanted it to happen the following week. Anyway, they sent a quote for a portion of the work we had discussed, at a price that amounted to an hourly rate well in excess of $400 per hour (including travel). (I was providing all of the materials.) I definitely didn't need it done that badly!

Ralph serviced my apartment on Friday. He was on time, explained everything (and showed me) and fixed it all. He was a nice guy! Also gave me many recommends.
Only downfall I had is their shoty answering service and subpar scheduling. I only ever got a live person once, and when I did I was asked to request a date n time of service via email instead. No call back either. I had to call again for me to finally get someone on Thursday. Mind you, I needed a Friday appointment! Not cool For someone with a busy schedule like me. this was cutting it TOO close.
Other than that, Ralph was ace!
Needed a thorough electrical inspection done on very short notice and got fantastic service. Within an hour of our getting in contact, Ralph showed up at our door and did a great job inspecting everything and patiently explaining what he was seeing in a way that I could understand. Ralph is great, service is great, will use again for sure.
We had a wonderful experience. Had an emergency situation requiring a Saturday service call. Easily made arrangements on Friday for that Saturday. Ralph arrived on time and quickly troubleshot the issue. He had all equipment needed in his van and returned quickly to complete the job. He was professional, skilled, neat and friendly. He changed our electrical outlet, added the necessary components to our electrical panel, and patched and sanded the wall. When he was done, he cleaned the entire area and left the space in the exact condition it had been in when he arrived. We highly recommend Ralph and NYC Electricians.
NYC Electricians is great! Spoke to Anthony on Saturday during the snow storm about my circuit breaker tripping and having no power in two sections of the house. Though no one was available Saturday, as promised, he called with the name of the electrician on Sunday. Ralph came out, was on time, was courteous, handled the job quickly, gave us a fair price and did it all with a smile. I would recommend them-especially Ralph- to anyone. We liked him so much we plan to call him back to do a larger job in the house. Thanks again Ralph and Anthony!
You guys saved me this afternoon great service and when you say 24hrs you mean it!! Huge shout out to Ralph!! Who came swiftly and on time and stuck around even as we experienced delays! Did a great job with a rewiring and had me a up and running in less than 2 hours! Thank you for giving me power!!!!

Had a problem and paid the visiting fee 350 I think and he fixed most of it and diagnosed a potential larger problem but then told me the cost to fix that would be pretty high. I paid the fee for the visit but checked on line about the other problem. It was not nearly as serious as he had said and the average cost for fixing it also much les.s I went ahead on that with another company from I found on Home Adviser that did the job very well for 1/3rd of what I'd been quoted. So I cannot recommend this service

For materials costing $25, and one and a half hours of labor, Ralph charged me $700. But then, Ralph called me and agreed to reduce the price to what I thought was reasonable

I cannot say enough good things about Mark, who came to my co-op today to diagnose and fix my ceiling fan, and really the whole team at NYC Electricians.
Anthony in the office was extremely nice during the whole appointment-making process, and he kept me updated when Mark was delayed by another project. Even though I told him that I work from home, he made a point of making sure I wasn't stuck in the apartment, wasting my time waiting.
Eventually, Mark came to my apartment, took the ceiling fan apart, stayed on hold with the lighting manufacturer to find out about parts while they transferred us from department to department, and then figured out what the problem was. He was friendly, informative, and considerate of my belongings and furniture throughout the entire process, and I felt extremely well taken care of.
We needed a new bulb, which I didn't have, so his colleague George drove me to the nearest hardware store so I could pick one up. Unfortunately, they didn't have the correct model (who knew there were so many kinds of halogen bulbs?). So Mark showed me what I needed, suggested where to shop for it, and then gave me his phone number so I could call with any questions when I got to the store. He provided service well above and beyond, and didn't charge me any more than the price I was quoted on the phone.
I will DEFINITELY be using NYC Electricians again if I ever need electrical work, and would definitely recommend Mark in particular to anyone who asked.
We had a problem with our heat during a very cold winter spell. Mark was called out to fix the problem. He was very trustworthy, efficient and went above and beyond. He was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything step by step. Work completed in a timely manner. Excellent follow-up. Fast service. reasonable prices. House is toasty and warmer than its been in 5 years. Thanks Mark!!!

Blew a circuit and lost electricity in half of our house. We were walking around like spelunkers with those little lamps on our heads and thinking we would try our regular electrician who isn't usually available until days later. And then I thought Turn down for what? (and I don't mean the dimmers). I realized I should look for an electrician on Yelp, which has never let me down. Sure enough, I found NY Electricians. I sent an email at around 9:30 p.m. and by 10 had received a phone call from Anthony. He was really helpful and we agreed to speak in the morning and see if someone could come right out. Mark arrived by about 7:20 a.m. He immediately diagnosed the problem and fixed it within 15 minutes.He was friendly, personable and professional. My husband and I couldn't believe the speed with which we were able to get this repair. And the price was reasonable. Highly recommend.
Look, Ralph saved the day. If yelp hides this rating I will be very annoyed, because when you are in an emergency you need to know who is good, personable, fair, and who will solve your problem.
My staff cranked the space heaters last week during this Arctic period we are now experiencing here in the city. All the lights went out. Checked the breakers. To no avail. Had to cancel all of my patients. And I had a news reporter coming the following Monday. Panic set in.
Ralph came out on a Sunday. The situation was complicated by the fact that the circuit breakers are in a spa downstairs... and I didn't realize that they weren't going to be open for another hour and a half when Ralph got there!
Ralph stayed the extra hour and half! And he fixed the problem in 30 minutes. Lights on. Everything fine. I threw my arms around him I was so relieved.
I cannot recommend Ralph and New York city electricians highly enough. When you're in a jam, on a weekend, with a lot at stake, you need people who will be there for you in your time of need... like a doctor. He stuck around, was flexible when the scheduling went awry, was super competent, and had everything fixed quickly.
Will be calling them again... though I hope not anytime soon!
Totally unprofessional.
I called for a simple business estimate and it was like pulling teeth. First, I call the phone number provided, to which I am greeted with a Hello, no indication that I had reached a business. When I asked, I received, oh yeah, sure, I can help you. I told him of my situation, sent him an email with details and insurance requirements.
Everything seemed good, they sent someone out the next day to take a look and prepare an estimate. I was informed that I would receive a written quote the next day via email.
I should have known it was going no where good when I still hadn't heard anything for a full week. I emailed again, called again, spoke to the same guy, and still couldn't get the estimate. It's been two weeks since someone was out, and I've sent multiple emails and talked to them multiple times, and still have not received any quote in writing.
Ralph was great! Super friendly. I had some weird problems and he figured it all out very quickly and solved every single one of my problems in one visit. I'm excited that I now have an electrician that I can trust. Will definitely call again.

Called them to discuss having somebody come take care of a few electrical issues at my apartment. The guy I spoke to asked me to outline things in an email and they'd get back to me. Sent the email and... no response. I waited about 1.5 weeks and sent a follow up ... no response. If you don't need the work, then just say so. Don't waste my time asking me to put together an email.
Ralph fixed our problem in no time flat. I went to change a dimmer switch in our new apartment myself but discovered a half plastered over junction box that I didn't want to mess with. Ralph uncovered the box and replaced my switch for a reasonable rate and gave me some helpful advice too. Thanks for the great service.
Mark saved our Thanksgiving!
My husband and I just moved into our apartment and for the first time, hosting Thanksgiving for our families. Two days ago, the lights underneath our kitchen counter that we turn on to prepare and cook food went off. Total darkness in the kitchen. My husband, the electrical engineer, tried new bulbs, restarting the fuze, etc, but nothing worked. I called NYC Electricians after reading their glowing reviews, and they surpassed my high expectations. Mark came on time, and got to the root of the problem - the transformers - within the first few minutes. He spent about an hour with us, and voila - then there was light!
Mark also gave us some recommendations as to a new light switch (we live in a pre-ware apartment and everything is very old). We are very happy to have found NYC Electricians and would highly recommend Mark.
We had gotten in touch with NYC Electricians to come out and fix a dimmer switch. They were prompt and EXTREMELY friendly and cooperative. Mark got straight to it (we only had 5mins to get the job done), and the job was finished in 5mins and we were able to get right back to business as usual! And at a great price too! If you need a professional, quick, and friendly electric job taken care of you should definitely reach out to New York City Electricians (and ask for Mark!!)
They're not cheap, but maybe when you're dealing with 20 amps of 110v AC that can burn your house down if you look at it wrong cheap is not what you actually want? David was prompt, ruthlessly honest about the task at hand, and completed the work on time. No complaints.

Excellent service, price and quality of workmanship. I had a gentlemen named Ralph come over to my apt and give me an estimate. Two weeks later he arrived with equipment to install an overhanging ceiling light. Since I rent the apt, he had to install it in such a way as to not drill behind the cement. Turned out beautiful. Would recommend Ralph as well as the company anyday.

Mark was very professional and took care of the job right away. He was reliable and in no time we had electricity and everything was fixed. He was nice and understanding as well. NYC Electricians are number 1!
Scheduled an appointment through Anthony to get an electrical outlet location moved from one part of my bedroom to another area. Mark showed up as planned and knocked it out in a little less than 60 minutes at a reasonable rate. Mark cleaned up after himself and and moved the furniture back into place. I'd definitely recommend this company - and especially Mark - to any friend or family. If you're looking for value, you've got it here.

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.
Really great service. Mark came by and diagnosed the problem, and then returned with all of the supplies and components that he needed. Friendly, competent and professional. No complaints here! Thanks guys!
I had several problems from wiring that had not been done correctly years ago.
Mark was terrific! He analyzed the problem quickly and fixed everything competently and efficiently Plus he could not have been nicer,
Thank you Mark and thank you Anthony who handled all the scheduling.
Ill certainly use you guys again!

I wanted to get a hot tub connected in fairly short order. These folks responded promptly, sent someone out quickly, and did a terrific job. Among other things, they recognized that the original contractor who worked on the power did not do it properly. They came with all the equipment, finished the job in a day, cleaned up after themselves, waited til the hot tub was full so we could check the jets before they left, and did an outstanding professional job. They are very nice, and stayed past 5 to get the job done.

I agree completely with the last two reviews. I have nothing but good things to say about NYC Electricians and specifically about Ralph. He was friendly, efficient, and professional. I have used them three times in two months and will continue to do so from here on.
I didn't know that it was possible to get such good service in Manhattan. Ralph is truly the consummate professional. He's reliable, courteous, friendly and most of all very conscientious about his work. He went well above and beyond in completing the job I hired him for. I will recommend Ralph to all of my friends without hesitation.

Get a firm estimate before you start. These guys stuck me with a very unreasonable bill, in my view, for an hour or two of work. Also seemed a bit sketchy. No identifying clothing with the name of the company on the people.

When my super told me the electrical work I needed done was above his pay grade, I placed a call to NYC Electricians at 3:46 pm this afternoon. By 4:50 the problem was solved and my lights were back on thanks to their amazing electrician, Ralph. Ralph arrived within 15 minutes, he was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and most importantly, he was wonderfully competent. Though I'm hoping I won't need another electrician any time soon, I'm keeping Ralph's number handy just in case and will gladly recommend him to anyone who wants electrical work done quickly, reliably and at a reasonable cost.

We have a basement storage space that has been without electricity for months now. I finally got around to calling someone to come and fix it. Mark showed up the same day I called. He worked for a little over an hour (having to rewire the electricity after a blow out and put in a light switch). He had all the materials he needed and didn't need to come back. He gave us a light switch with outlets (which is extremely helpful) and was done so fast. The price was more than reasonable for the amount of things he fixed. Thanks Mark!

I cannot recommend NYC Electricians enough!! I called in need of emergency - after hours - service in my brownstone and spoke to Anthony who took all my information, quoted me a VERY reasonable price and said someone would be to me in 30 min!!
Sure enough, in LESS than 30 minutes, Mark and Andrew arrived at my door, examined the problem and had it fixed in minutes. They were able to swipe my credit card right on sight and I immediately received a text confirmation.
I am already making plans to have them back to fix some additional issues.
I have used several supposedly professional licensed electricians over the years during the various stages of my complete renovation... And NYC Electricians are far and away the best!!! The only electricians I will ever use going forward.
Ralph is awesome! We had an emergency the weekend between Christmas and New Years and even despite it being now 1030 at night-he still came out. We now have power and can enjoy the rest of our weekend. Thanks Ralph!

Ask for Ralph. Great guy and he did great work. Took the time to fix my bathroom light just how I like it.
So much for the good reviews. I just cancelled an appt. due to some kid calling and saying his dad was downstairs from my building and that it would be a $150 charge for him to come up and look at my lights. This was NEVER said to me previously so I cancelled it. I have an electrician in my building that came come look at my situation for FREE. oh well thanks anyway guys
Couldn't be more grateful to Ralph and Marlon for coming over (on a holiday!) and rewiring my thermostats so the heat was working properly. They were fast, friendly and the work was reasonably priced. Had heat that day! Am so appreciative and wouldn't hesitate to call them again.

Mark was my electrician and he really was did a great job fixing the lights on my ceiling fan and also my gas stove burners. Very nice, skilled and professional. Highly recommended.
Everybody else seems to like these guys so I guess you should use them, but a sense of moral responsibility (really!) compels me to tell you they cheated me, or at least tried to. They told me I needed to replace a part which in fact I did not need to. I called them out on it and they refunded the money, but still... sheesh.
After an outlet melted down in our wall, we were pretty thrilled to have Mark come out the next morning- a Saturday. He was friendly, very competent and intelligent, figured out the problem (our fuse box) and repaired/replaced the wall outlet. Extremely professional, neat and prompt. We intend to call him back to revamp our 50+ year old fuse box next. Great job- thanks Mark!!

Mark and George just finished moving two lighting fixtures in our place. I could not have asked for better work. They were courteous and professional, they explained everything they were doing, and things to be aware of in the future. They even cleaned up before they left. Great work.
Mark came into an unknown situation since my regular electrician wasn't available. He was able to work on my completely backward and ancient wiring system pretty easily. I was afraid I would have to have the entire electrical circuit box redone because over half my outlets were no longer functional. He found a way to get everything back up and saved me hundreds of dollars over what I know the guy I usually had gone with would have charged. I really appreciated Mark's attitude and how quickly he got things done. I will be going with him from now on when I need work done.
These guys are great. Anthony was friendly and responsive in setting up my appt, and Mark came by and diagnosed the problem quickly. Would highly recommend. Thanks guys.

I bought a mosaic lamp in Turkey last year and finally got around to trying to hang it. I read the reviews on here and thought NYC Electricians was the way to go. I wasted about a month trying to get these guys to come. I couldn't get a hold of them via phone so I emailed them (as suggested on their site). I sent them pics of what I needed and asked if they could come out the next week to hang it. A week goes by without hearing from them so I call them up again and finally reach someone. He says to send pics again and to let me know our availability. An appointment is scheduled; my boyfriend takes off work to wait for them and they never show. He tries calling them and gets the old 'we're stuck in traffic' excuse. He sets up another appt. (taking off work again). same thing - they don't come. I should have not scheduled again but I really wanted it hung. The third appointment we start calling them at 8:30 am to make sure they're coming. My guy is stuck in traffic. he'll be there in an hour. 90 mins goes by - nothing. Call back. he's on another job. I don't know when we can get out there today. We eventually pled our case and got someone to show up, only to tell us that we needed a different lighting mount in order to hang it. THAT'S why i sent you pictures a month prior! so you could see what you'd be dealing with. It all worked out in our favor though. we ended up listening to a professional at Oggi Lighting in the Bowery who easily told my boyfriend how to install it. Thanks for the abysmal customer service NYC Electricians - you saved us your overpriced $150-200 fee.

New York City Electricians is the real deal. I got an estimate from the building manager to replace some bulbs and ballasts in my office. The guy told me to order the ballasts and the bulbs. Although the management co. wanted over $1,000, he was going to hook me up ;) (that's an actual picture of him giving me the wink-wink). He would put them in for $750. I found the ballasts on Home Depot's website, $20. The bulbs were $15. I ordered the bulbs, but before I ordered the ballasts I called NYC Electricians, just to get an estimate. The guy said he would come by the next day. He told me he'd do the whole job for $450, parts included! He left and came back in an hour and did the job. Done and Done! I would use them again in a heartbeat. I took a shot and used a guy off the internet and it worked! Give them a call so your super doesn't spin you! Now the only 2 things left for me to do is to tape the receipt on my building manager's door and find him a small, talking, plush animal that says suck it when you pull a string! Thanks NYCE!
