Electricians in Brooklyn, NY

The ones under the licensed heading hold an active Electrical Firm license on file from the NYC Department of Buildings. Each listing names the specific credentials we hold for that business and links to the agency that issued them. ServHom does not re-check licenses in real time, so confirm the license with the issuing agency before you book.

There is no single figure. Price moves on whether the panel or service needs upgrading, how much new wiring and wall access the job involves, the devices going in, and whether a permit and Con Edison coordination are required. Ask two or three electricians for an itemized written quote covering the same scope so you are comparing like with like.

Often, yes. New circuits, panel and service upgrades, and wiring for a renovation generally need a Department of Buildings electrical permit and an inspection to close them out. Small swaps like a fixture or a single outlet usually do not. Ask the electrician who is pulling the permit and whether its cost sits inside the quote or on top of it.

Not always. A charger draws a dedicated circuit and a lot of it, so the answer depends on the size of your existing service and what else is already on it. Ask the electrician to check the panel capacity before quoting, and to say plainly whether a service upgrade is needed, because that is a much larger job involving Con Edison.

Ask whether the quote includes permit fees and inspection sign-off, whether they have worked in your building type, and how they handle access in a co-op or a brownstone where walls and risers are shared. Get the scope and price in writing before you approve anything, and for a co-op ask whether they can produce a certificate of insurance naming the building.
