Best in New York NY

Away on vacation, pipes burst... a wonderful neighbor went to my home, turned off the main water value / firemen turned off circuit breakers... now what?
I called Ian (from Scotties Electric). He was unbelievable, immediately he found a Plumber ( i had called many with no luck)... Ian went to my home to meet the plumber who repaired the pipes, and Ian restored my electric, heat, etc... my home would have been seriously damaged had it not been for Ian.

Ricardo has helped us a couple of times for plumbing needs, first with our toilet and then with our sink. He has been responsive, clear with pricing, punctual, and tidy both times. My wife and I would highly recommend him.

We needed several chandeliers and some ceiling fans installed, and alll the outlets and switches in house changed out.  They came in got to work and did all of it in one day.  Great work, cleaned up after themselves and were pleasant.  We certainly will be using them again and highly recommend them.

Roman came out right away. Arrived within an hour and fixed the problem at a reasonable rate. I will definitely use him in the future and recommend him.

Got a high voltage line installed in my garage with a 50amp socket for a level 2 car charger. Was very responsive and reasonable. Showed up on time and did great job. Highly recommended!

I have had a longstanding electrical project which required a licensed electrician but also one that was willing to go the extra mile to avoid turning it into a larger project than I wanted.  It needed some smart troubleshooting.  Any time that my electrical panel needs to be worked on, I want to feel confident in my choice of electricians.  This particular project involved adding a new electrical line to the panel and other related work.  My family has used Tesla Electric in the past (both Father and Son) and they completed this project just as efficiently and carefully as past projects.  I like that they always listen and answer questions and kept me informed of each step throughout the two-day project. They stuck to their original quote and went way beyond the project scope when issues arose.  Highly recommend.

I emailed Steve for an estimate to remove a light/fan and replace it with large flushmount LED fixture. Less then an hour later, I got a callback from him with a fair estimate. He was available to do the work the next day (Saturday) and showed up at 810am, exactly when he said he would. He finished the work quickly and efficiently, cleaning up after himself and not requiring any hand holding. It is always great to work with a professional and I know I will be calling him again for more work around the house. Highly recommended!!!

Update on 6/18/16:  I had Steve come back in to replace an old thermostat with a new programmable thermostat and also to install a new combo fan/light in the dining room area. The work was completed quickly and professionally and at a very fair price.

I have been using Dynamic Electrical Contractors for years. Both the owners are reliable, honest, hardworking - and always get the job done and on time. They were extremely patient and had a lot of great ideas. It has been a pleasure working with them and their crew.

An electrician company battling for business in NYC that does not the first thing about customer service. After calling to discuss business, one of the associates did not even begin to give me the time of day. As I was explaining  our needs the associate hung up, but not before mumbling something under his breath. I can sit here and say I am thankful to never do business with such a B grade company. I'd rather stick a paper clip in an outlet than do business with H & A.

We had BQ run dedicated circuits for two ACs units recently.  Aside from them not being the most punctual, the work was very good (so far) and the crew was very nice and knowledgeable.  The price was also very reasonable compare to some other electricians in the area.  Overall, I am happy with the work done although BQ can work on their punctuality.

Hired Tower Electrical for smoke alarm certification.  Dave came out and took care of it.  There was a legitimate problem with one of the units and he returned back with a replacement and had it installed in no time.  I feel the need to point out that not only is he good at his job (easy to get job scheduled, showed up when he said, fixed a problem we didn't know we would encounter, etc), but he was also pleasant to do business with.   That is something I appreciate, because that is generally hard to find.

We had few outlets changed and a floodlight installed. Work was excellent and they went above and beyond to make sure all components were installed and working right. 5 stars !

I seldom bother posting a review on Yelp but I feel I must with Craig and his team. He just wrapped up installing ceiling fans and track lighting in my place and the work is amazing. I found Thour Wiring on Yelp and you guys were right! Craig really lives up to his reputation.

What I loved:

- Customer service: Craig really knows what it means to serve your customer! Right from the start, he was extremely pleasant over the phone (the most friendly amongst all the people I got quotes from, and I got about 8!) and in person, very articulate, clear and communicative, friendly and  patient. I went back and forth with him multiple times before starting work and he never made me feel like I was asking too many questions. He was extremely responsive both on email and on text through the whole process. At the end of the project, we found out that one of the ceiling fans I ordered did not work so I had to get a replacement sent that will arrive later. They uninstalled the fan and packed it nicely back in the box for me to be returned and Craig told me to just let him know when the new fan arrived and he or his workers will come by again to install it with no additional charge.

- Reasonably priced: Craig was the mid-range of all the quotes I got, but the low-range quotes seem suspiciously low. He came by to do a proper estimate (many others only gave quotes over the phone) and he kept to it.

- Professional: I had an awful experience with a lighting designer/electrician right before I found Craig. That guy was dishonest with me about the budget, and padded his invoice, never signed a contract, didn't provide insurance, etc. As a first time home buyer, I got burnt by him. Craig was, from the start, a refreshing difference. He submitted his estimate to me with a detailed line by line summary of the work that needed to be done and itemized it for me upon my request. We then negotiated the contract and both signed on it (note to all: always have a signed contract!! I didn't with the first electrician I worked with stupidly, and he went and padded his invoice with a whole bunch of stuff I didn't agree to) before the work was done. He sent my condo management a copy of the insurance promptly with no extra charge (not sure if it's common practice to charge for that or not, but I know my movers did).

-  Nice team: He had 2 other guys working with him and they were all incredibly friendly.

What I did not like:

- High deposit: I felt initially that the deposit he required was high (62%), but he was very nice when he explained to me why he needed the high deposit (he had to reserve the time, hire people, get materials, etc), and that he wouldn't jeopardize his good reputation on Yelp for this relatively small contract. In the end, it didn't even matter cos he turned out to be honest, accurate in his estimate, and earned every penny.  

- Not so great patching: Because we didn't have any power supply to our concrete ceilings, they had t punch holes in the walls to get power up there. Like what the other poster mentioned, the patching and spackling work wasn't done perfectly, especially around the edges of switches and wiring. BUT, I will say that most other electricians who gave me quotes told me that they do not even do any patching work, and that I had to get a handyman to do it separately. It would have been nice if the spackling was better, but compared to other electricians, the patching work was a value add in itself. I can get a handyman to do the touch up work, or do it myself.

- Mess: There was dust everywhere in the house and all over my bed even (yuck). Which is to be expected when the walls are being ripped out. But I felt like they should have used more covers for all my furniture. But I wasn't there during the construction and my husband & kids were, so I don't know if that wasn't done because they were using the furniture? Upon hindsight, I should have requested this after the first day when my entire bed was covered in dust. So just a feedback Craig & team to maybe use more of those awesome plastic covers on all the furniture cos the dust flies everywhere! Also, they left a bunch of empty boxes/trash from the job when I felt it'd have been nice to take the trash with them. But I wasn't there when they wrapped up the job, so I'm not sure if that was deliberate i.e. they thought I might want the original wrapping of stuff just in case. So really, this is a minor minor quibble in an otherwise awesome job.

Well done, Craig. You have restored my faith in contractors! You are a gem & I'll definitely recommend you to anyone!
