Best Wiring Installation in New York NY

NOTE: This review was written about month after the work was done, so I can't remember all the details perfectly, and as such am giving the electrician the benefit of the doubt where appropriate.  ;-)

I contacted them and clearly specified that I wanted to have the following installed:

- a new ceiling fan/light fixture, with a dimmable light/remote to be connected to it

- two new ceiling lights, with a new dimmer wall switch to be installed for each of the two new lights

When I made the appointment, I asked if I could get Mo, Warren or Eugene, and...surprise, surprise, I was told that '...it all depends on who's available on that date... we'll have to see...however all our people are pros...blahblah' (though Yelp reviews here suggest otherwise...)

I forget the name of the guy who came...maybe Eugene(?).  I just know that it was not Mo, Warren or Randy.

The guy who came was nice and personable enough, and was clearly experienced  However there were a few small things...

Regarding the ceiling fan that has a single light fixture (completely encased under a slippery glass 'dome'...horribly designed, and now impossible to remove, should I ever want to change the bulb.... Argh!) ...anyway, the lighting which I wanted to be dimmable.... I was told in advance that I'd need to purchase a remote intended for use with a ceiling fan, and that would work with a dimmable bulb.  I'm not an electrician, so I don't expect to understand how the light/fan/bulb/remote should intersect with one another or how they should be installed.  That's why I hired a professional electrician.  But at the very least, I know that I purchased the appropriate remote to work with a ceiling fan and a dimmable bulb.

Net, net, it turns out that apparently my particular ceiling fan/light only works with CFL bulbs, and as it also turns out....CFL bulbs are more or less Not Dimmable(?!!)  So.... after my spending all that money for a dimmer, it turns out my light is ultimately NOT dimmable.  In retrospect, it's unfortunate that the electrician didn't know this after reading all the installation directions...after reading the lighting fixture specs??... it's unfortunate that the company didn't forewarn me or inform me that installing a ceiling fan/light, and wanting it to be dimmable, is even more complex than I originally realized??

Once the electrician finished installing the ceiling fan/light, he then moved on to installing my two new ceiling lights.  He started installing the new light in my living room area (...I was nearby working on my computer), and I looked up to see that.... he had simply taken a guess as to which light I wanted in the living room, without actually checking with me first.  Thankfully he hadn't gotten far in the process, so I was able to stop him and tell him he was putting the wrong fixture in the living area ceiling.

The company had told me in advance that if I wanted new dimmers installed, it would be best if I purchased them myself in advance, as it would cost more $ if they had to purchase them FOR me.  So I went to Home Depot, and picked up dimmer switches for the wall.  Unfortunately, as I later realized, dimmer switches are essentially just the electrical component of the dimmer.... they don't come with 'wall plates' to cover up the rest of the area around the dimmer switch itself.  (Never having bought dimmers before, and also buying multiple dimmers at Home Depot...multiple LCD bulbs to try out etc....  why would it have occurred to me that I'd also need totally new wall plates...that my existing ones would no longer work?  

So...  after the work was all done, I had to make another trip to HD to purchase wall plates.  It would have been nice if the company had mentioned this to me when they first suggested I purchase my own dimmer switches.  Like I said, I'm not the expert here... I've never had electrical work like this done before...so why would this detail have occurred to me?

Net, net, they accomplished what I wanted for the most part.  I now have a terrific ceiling fan over my bed.  It's installed evenly, and the moving blades are totally silent.

As for my two new ceiling lights, they look so much nicer than the old-school NYC rental apartment ceiling lights that my cheapo LL had put in.  AND they both dim!  Beautiful!!

I was very favorably impressed with Mike Hitchingham. For starters, he actually responded to my request a quote inquiry on Yelp within a day! I responded to his message by calling him, and described the problem over the phone.  He asked some clarifying questions, and agreed that I was probably right (I suspected a 110V outlet was receiving 220V power). There were only 6 YELP reviews and I generally like to see more reviews before selecting a vendor, but his courteous, open manner and willingness to take a little time on the phone convinced me that he was the right guy to look at this. He stopped by within a day or two when he was on the UWS to check it out. He confirmed the problem in a brief visit, and said he'd return on Sunday to fix the problem. Then he actually returned on Sunday, and fixed the problem! His price was fair, and I was happy to pay his invoice. I've given his name and number to the guy across the hall, and to a friend who lives 6 blocks away. I found him to be straightforward, direct, honest, and willing to answer questions and educate me. He kept in touch re scheduling, and was responsive. I'd hire Mike again in a second!

Super friendly, efficient, resourceful and accommodating!  Klodian went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied.  Highly recommended.

Rich was fantastic. He came to our apartment to repair a faulty breaker -diagnosed the issue and fixed it in no time. He also noticed an issue with one of our outlets and repaired it thoroughly and quickly. We had a great experience with Rich, he's highly skilled and was quick to provide service just 1 hour after we contacted him. I recommend his services to absolutely anyone!

He's responded to my call right away.  Arrived at my door right on time.  And installed my light fixture without a problem.  I would definitely recommend Mickhael .

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!

The technician, Guston, came on time on a Saturday morning (on a short notice, without charging us an emergency fee, which other electricians have quoted us) and fixed everything very quickly and efficiently. It was also convenient that he had some light switches with him so he was able to replace my old one without me having to go buy it myself.
He also took the time to explain how certain things work and showed me how to test my outlets and lights so that next time I can do this myself instead of spending hundreds of dollars.

Overall, a very pleasant experience and I would definitely use them again and would recommend to others.

Will definitely use JEM lighting for future work.  Fast communication and great service. John helped me fix one of my sconces that went out and even helped me fix the sconce's switch which I thought would never work again (original 1970s sconce).

I contacted a few electricians who either weren't legitimate or didn't seem interested in my needs.  I emailed Conroy Electric Corp.and Danny contacted me later that day.  He stopped by to take a look at my job (I wanted to have a transfer switch installed for my emergency generator).  He made some notes and took a few pictures.  He asked if he could call me back in 2 days with a price.  I spoke with him a few days later, was satisfied with his price, and we scheduled the install for two weeks later.  He arrived in the afternoon, on time, and ready to work.  Apparently there was a piece missing from the equipment I purchased so he ran out and picked it up from the store.  He installed the switch and outdoor inlet and ran all the wires between the transfer switch and my main panel with ease.  He was talking to me the entire time pretty much answering all of my questions.  He wrapped up in about 2 hours and we fired up the generator and threw the switch.  Everything worked great.  I would absolutely recommend Danny to anyone (actually have to 2 people already).  Danny is an honest, hard working, stand up guy!

Absolutely love the work that Erick and his team at Eco Electrician did on my bathroom fan. This fan used to have to be plugged into an outlet to use like a dive-bar. It was annoying and very frat house-y while Erick was doing another job for me, I ran this by him and he blew me away the results from today's install. Crispy clean work, as usual from Erick. Super amazing with response and stellar craftsmanship! Check out my other reviews for Erick and his team, they've done a lot of great work at my house.

I called this company when I saw the rave reviews on Yelp. I am grateful to everyone who took the time to confirm the workmanship of Danik Electrical. Yoni and his partner not only performed the work at a competitive price, but their personable generosity toward sharing the wealth type worldview, makes them stand out as special. I will be calling them back and will refer them to anyone who needs electrical work. If you are looking for trustworthy contractors that treat you like family, without exaggeration, call Danik. I did the footwork for you and as fastidious as I am, your search ends here. Thank you Yoni. God bless you for blessing us!

Upgraded dishwasher power line from 15 to 20 amps

This is the second job i've had Don and Pat do and they were awesome. Super professional and did a great job. Needed an upgraded service line for a new dishwasher and they were promptly on time and did a great job. They even helped disconnect the dishwasher (which they did not have to do) to make sure the job was done properly. I'm having them come back to upgrade the whole house and move a meter. I trust them and they do great work.

Sergey is awesome! He helped me fix the leaking sink in five minutes. Very quick and professional work. Also the price is reasonable.Highly recommend to anyone!

----update-----
Due to his awesome work fixing the pipe, I hired Sergey again next day to install the water filter system. He not only fixed my rookie mistake, but also did an excellent work drilling the granite and assembling the parts. I'm very happy about the results:)

I had an emergency outage in an apartment. Electrify responded quickly; sent out a man to address the problem. He quickly reviewed what was causing the outage, was able to get things working again, and then proposed a longer term solution. The pricing was fair.

We hired Gladiator Electric based upon wonderful web reviews.  These reviews were spot on.  Set up an appointment with Mike from Gladiator.  Received confirmation texts prior to and the morning of to keep us informed. They showed up promptly (early actually).  We had a list of items discussed prior to the call and some add-ons during the day of.  The hourly rate + materials was very reasonable. The Techs, Eric and Dylan, were extremely courteous and professional.  And nice peeps to boot!  The job tasks included Ceiling fixtures (remove/replace fans/lights), moving wall outlets, installing/pairing smart switches and outdoor GFCI outlets.  All done by 3 pm!  My wife and I were extremely pleased with every aspect of the job.  We already have some new tasks lined up for a second job with them.  i highly recommend !

Had a couple of minor things that needed to be fixed at my home. Henry arrived and was quick to work and was helpful with making decisions. Very professional, highly recommended.

I emailed Casey on a Friday morning about removing track lighting in our condo and replacing it with a large chandelier. He replied immediately and agreed to come the following Tuesday. I appreciated his quick response and turn around time. Casey is professional and personable. He spent about 2 hours on this job and, before leaving, mentioned a few other ideas he had for the lighting in our home. Thankful for his insight, I asked him to come back the next week to install recessed lighting in the basement. After meeting him and feeling comfortable with his professionalism, I happily left a key with our doorman and Casey let himself into our home to work in the basement. I came home to a beautifully lit room in what was once a dark and dreary basement. Casey's prices are very reasonable and his work is top notch. I've already recommended his work to a number of neighbors - all of whom are happy with his service. I'll certainly reach out to him again with future projects. Trust me, you'll be glad you hired him.

I cannot say enough good things.  Tony was very polite, knowledgeable, and honest.  Most importantly, he and his co-worker did a great job fixing my plumbing issues.  He clearly knows a lot about construction as we discussed a potential renovation, and he made great suggestions - some of which were things NOT to spend money on.   I will definitely hire them again for future jobs.  The price was very reasonable, they were timely, and they put up with annoying building politics.

Would definitely recommend them! They were not only responsive, but quick to come and do the work. I had them do some wall patchwork, bidet installation, light installation, and moving of a light box in the wall. I don't think there's anything they can't handle! And reasonably priced as well. This should be your first call if you need ANYTHING done!
