The fee covers our technician’s visit, travel, parking, troubleshooting, and locating the problem. Minor repairs requiring no replacement parts are included when they can be safely completed. Confirm the applicable fee when scheduling.

We charge by the job, not by the hour. After locating the problem, we explain the work needed and provide an upfront price before you authorize additional repairs. For larger problems, we may provide a temporary solution where safe and practical. We explain the total cost and how the service-call fee applies before proceeding.

Yes. New York City Electricians carries up to $5 million in insurance coverage, including umbrella coverage. We work in Manhattan residential and commercial buildings and can 

coordinate with management to review the building’s insurance requirements before work begins.

Can you help with electrical permits and violations?

Yes. We coordinate with our NYC Licensed Master Electrical Contractor to obtain required electrical permits, correct electrical violations, and arrange necessary inspections. Final sign-off and violation clearance are subject to NYC Department of Buildings approval.

Do you offer electrical inspections before purchasing a home or commercial property?

Yes. We provide pre-purchase electrical inspections for first-time homebuyers, other residential buyers, and buyers of commercial properties or business premises.

We assess accessible electrical panels, wiring, outlets, and other electrical components to identify visible safety concerns and potential repair or upgrade needs. We explain our findings so you can make a more informed buying decision.

This service focuses on the electrical system and is separate from a complete home or building inspection.
