Best in New York NY

Found this co on Yelp figured I give them a shot. So glad I did. One of their guys is like a Blood Hound. Won't stop till he finds the problem. I have an old split level, so I can appreciate that. Finally found the problem but what they had to go through to fix it was another story. Soffits and such for a couple of switches. Wow!  I would recommend these guys to everyone I know. Having them back as soon as I can.

Outstanding electrician. Warren showed up on short notice, figured out what was wrong quickly, explained everything clearly, and had two separate issues fixed in about an hour. No dishonesty whatsoever, and his rates are beyond fair. Can't recommend highly enough.

Absolutely wonderful customer service and zero attempt at trying to unnecessarily run up the bill. What more can you ask for, really? The entire experience was pleasant, efficient, and accommodating. Could not be happier and highly recommend Bruno Electric.

The skinny:  Greg from Powerplus is an absolute professional.  If you're looking for an electrician who does quality work, is exceptionally thorough, and charges reasonable rates, look no further.  

Here's my long-winded story:

With the power outages we've had in my area the past couple of years I wanted to make sure this year I was ready for future emergencies. Standby generators and other such solutions were way out of my budget so I opted to go with the portable generator + Interlock solution (as opposed to manual transfer switches, etc.).  

I found a couple of electricians via word of mouth and from local online forums  and got some estimates.  I heard roughly the same details from each of the 3 electricians I talked to:

- This would be a straight forward job, estimates roughly the same
- The only gotcha is that my town is extremely anal about inspections (2 of the 3 who have done work in my town said this, including Greg.  The 3rd usually does work outside my town, but said my job should be no problem, based on permit work he's done elsewhere in NJ).

What set Greg apart were the following:
- Very responsive. You can tell he's busy, but he's never too busy to answer your call or answer your e-mail.  I had a lot of questions along the way and I was always appreciative of how patient Greg was throughout the process.  
- Foresaw Potential Issues - Though the general sentiment was that my job would not have any issues with the town, Greg did notice that my existing panel was overloaded (due to tandem breakers).  He remarked that usually town inspectors don't make you redo existing work as they inspect the new scope of work.  However, he was the only one of the 3 that made the effort to contact my town's inspector to check.  And lo and behold, my town, true to their reputation responded that they would fail the new work (for the interlock) because of my existing overloaded panel.  Greg came up with alternatives and continued to think through what the potential pitfalls were.  If I had gone with anyone else, they would have done the work, failed inspection, and then we would have been at the point to consider alternatives.  Greg was the only one that helped me figure out the issues ahead of time.  I'm a no surprises kind of guy, so that was very important to me.  
- Leveraged Technology - One of the other things that distinguished Greg from others was he was the only one with a Facebook page (facebook.com/powerplusel…)  All very clean cut and nice.  He also was the only electrician I contacted willing to scope out the work based on pictures.  Part of that is that he's about an hour away from me so it wasn't the most convenient for him to come out to my place.  But, I mean, it is 2014, you'd think more contractors would be able to use technology to their advantage and save everybody (both themselves and the homeowner) time.  To be clear, Greg did come in person to finalize some things and confirm what he saw in the pics I sent him, but it just makes a whole lot more sense to me for an initial estimate to be done via pictures.  I wish more contractors would do that.  
- Saw the Job Through (start to finish) - I never had to bug Greg on status or what was going on.  He was usually the one to ping me and keep me up to speed on what was going on.  That's a breath of fresh air compared to all of the other contractors I've ever dealt with.  

So what happened:
- Greg did an awesome job, the subpanel looked great, all the wiring was clean cut.  He took the time to explain everything as we tested the setup (generator, interlock).    I was happy.
- We went to inspection, and my town failed it due to some their interpretation of working clearance.   Note this had NOTHING to do with Greg's work and I am convinced that my town is just difficult to work with (this was confirmed later, by the way, as I spoke to more people)  
- We were stuck between a rock and a hard place at this point.  But credit Greg.  Long story short, he helped me persevere and we found a solution to all of it.  Honestly, as I've stated above, I think my town is the exception and inspectors elsewhere would not have failed my job.  I would never advise anyone to do electrical work without a permit, but in my case it was an extreme hassle.  
- It's hard to say what would have happened if I had chosen someone else.  But I do think any lesser electrician would have bailed on me as this literally took months to sort out.  

Bottom line:  Greg is hard-working, honest, and does quality work.  That combination of qualities rare these days.  To be completely honest, given the experience it took to get a permit in my town, I'm hesitant to ever do any electrical work in my home again.  But, if I do, I will definitely go with Greg.

Thrilled with the work that Totally Wired has completed for us. Tony installed a doorbell camera and fixed an issue with our electrical box.

This was the first time I ever hired an electrician.  

Will was very professional.  Answered all questions (phone, text & email).  When I asked for an estimate, he emailed it to me and it was very professional.  I hired him and he arrived on time and did the work (moving outlet, bringing outlet to code, fixing outlet).  He understood what I needed done, did a great job and was extremely neat.

I highly recommend him and if I know of anyone who needs electrical work done, I will definitely recommend him for the job.

Just had a TV installed in my living room. Melvin and his colleague were extremely professional and did a fantastic job!
Would highly recommend, can't wait to use them again! 5 stars!!!!

Some of the outlets in my bedrooms stopped working after a power surge. I called Sal the owner the next day about the problem and he arrived the same day in a very prompt manner. He checked the bad outlets and the good ones just to make sure everything was in good shape. He fixed the problem and helped me with a little extra work in the house with no extra charge. His pricing was low/fair and he is one of the nicest people I have ever dealt with regarding business. I will definitely call him again for any future problems. A++ service.

I recently bought a home and it needed a lot of updating.  I called plaza and working with them has been INCREDIBLE! Courteous, quick, professional, on time and the list goes on!  They worked with me and my crazy schedule and the work they do is hands down the best!  I would recommend Plaza to everyone (if you want it done right!)

They scheduled my job within a week. They were on time and worked quickly. We had to delay a few days because of the snow but no problem. Nice guys who did the job well. Price was reasonable.

These guys are highly selective about the types of jobs they want to do.  I have a job to upgrade an electrical panel, install a few new outlets and convert some cabinet lighting from halogen to LED.  Seems like a pretty straight forward project, right?  Nope!  Barrett, an owner, was all talk on the phone but afterwards he never returned a call or offered a quote.  The economy must be really good if he's passing up jobs without even bidding on them!  God bless bro... but you're killing your reputation because people like me don't like people like you...ESPECIALLY because I'm a REPEAT CUSTOMER!

Danny from Caliber Electric came immediately to install a wall socket for an appliance. He was professional and very informative in advance about the job. Did a great job. Cleaned up nicely afterwards. This is a great company. I definitely recommend you go with them if you need the services they offer.

Installed nema 14-50 outlet for my EV charging. Done in 10 min. Very courteous and professional. Jim the owner is pleasure to do business with anytime.

I highly recommend Spiro Electric.  John is professional, thorough and honest.  He came by after I left a message on a Saturday evening that my breaker box smelled like burning.  He said it was a fire hazard and that he had to fix it right then.  He fixed it and rewired our entire box and spent the time to make sure that nothing was overloaded.  He said he would be coming back in a week to check to make sure everything was working ok.  You can call them without hesitation!

Frank and his crew are excellent electricians. High standard quality job, very professional and at the same time friendly and listening to client requests and questions. They are fair and honest: if something is not needed Frank will tell you.
Great experience all times we called them for some work! Highly recommended!

Call for a quote on recessed lighting.  They were able to come out the same week.  They were reasonably priced and the room looks so much better!  Very professional and great customer service.
