The questions everyone asks first
NYC runs 25–40% above national averages due to master licensing, DOB permits, and older building complexity. Our pricing is per job with written fixed quotes: outlets from $180, lighting from $220 per fixture, EV chargers $450–$1,200, panel upgrades $1,800–$3,500, rewiring $2,500–$12,000. Quotes are always free — see our cost guides for full breakdowns.
Yes — master licensed and fully insured for residential, commercial, and industrial work throughout NYC, with 20+ years of experience. We provide license and insurance certificates (including additional-insured certificates for co-op and condo buildings) with every job that requires them.
Yes — 1–3 hour response throughout Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx, around the clock, 365 days a year. Emergency calls start at $120 and you get a clear price before any repair begins, even at 2am. For emergencies, call (877) 976-7353 directly — don't use a web form.
We handle everything — DOB filing, DEP fuel permits for generators, inspection scheduling, and final sign-off. Permits are included in our quotes, never a surprise line item. You receive the Certificate of Electrical Inspection when the job closes. Details in our NYC electrical code guide.
Constantly — it's a core part of our NYC practice. We prepare the full board package: scope of work letters, license and insurance certificates naming your building as additional insured, and load letters where required. We work within building hour restrictions and know what boards need to approve quickly.
