What usually goes wrong

Here is what New York City callers mention most:

  • Breakers that keep tripping
  • Outlets that are warm or don't work
  • Flickering lights

New York City homes, up close

The city's Housing Maintenance Code requires landlords to provide heat from October 1 through May 31, with minimum indoor temperatures day and night. Many walk-ups have no elevator, so carrying a fridge or a water heater up four or five flights is a real part of the job.

Queens neighborhoods like Flushing and Jackson Heights mix garden apartment complexes, attached brick houses and detached homes. In multi-unit buildings each apartment usually has its own meter and panel, often in a shared basement. Know which panel is yours before the electrician arrives.

Thunderstorms roll through regularly in summer. Whole-house surge protection at the panel is a common add-on people ask about after a close strike. Local Law 97 sets carbon limits for most buildings over 25,000 square feet, which has pushed many co-ops and condos to look at heat pumps and boiler upgrades.

Who handles what in New York City

Con Edison delivers electricity in New York City. If the whole block is dark, report it to them first. If it is just your home or one circuit, that is electrician territory. In New York City, electricians are licensed by the Department of Buildings, and you can check a license number online.

What happens after you call

  1. Call or use the form and describe the problem.
  2. A local electrician who works in New York City gets your request.
  3. If the timing and quote work for you, they schedule the job.

Note which outlets or lights are affected and whether a breaker trips.

What people ask us

Can I install an EV charger at home?

Often, yes. A Level 2 charger usually needs a dedicated 240-volt circuit, and an electrician will check whether your panel has room.

Can I add outlets to an older room?

Usually. An electrician will check whether the circuit can handle more load or whether a new circuit is needed.

Do you cover Harlem and Bay Ridge?

Yes, as long as a pro is free. New York City ZIP codes 10001, 10002, 10003, 10004, 10005 and others are in range, and that includes Harlem, Bay Ridge, Riverdale and Jackson Heights.

Why do my lights dim when the AC kicks on?

A short dip can be normal with large motors. If lights dim a lot or flicker often, a loose connection or an overloaded circuit may be the cause and is worth checking.

You are free to talk with more than one company before you decide.
