Trusted Electrician in Brooklyn, NY · Licensed & Insured

The first time a breaker trips twice in one night, or the bathroom outlet quits for no reason, it is usually the building telling you something. Brooklyn housing stock is old. Brownstones from the 1890s, pre-war walk-ups, 1960s co-ops with aluminum branch wiring, all of it carrying loads it was never wired for.

Brooklyn Electrician is a licensed electrical company based at 5 Brooklyn Ave in Bed-Stuy. Our electricians work every week in Bushwick, Williamsburg, Crown Heights and Park Slope, in cellars with fuse boxes nobody has opened since the Koch years. We know how a 60-amp service behaves when the window AC and the microwave run at once, and we know what the DOB inspector looks for.

Every job starts with a site visit and a written electrical estimate. Something sparking or hot to the touch? Call (929) 460-9789 for a prompt inspection and a free quote.

High stakes electrical work in Brooklyn: panels, service upgrades and rewiring

Some electrical jobs are about more than convenience. A Federal Pacific panel can fail to trip during a fault. Knob-and-tube wiring buried under blown-in insulation overheats. An Electrical Panel Upgrade handles the first one. Electrical Wiring and Rewiring handles the second. We size the service for how you actually live, split AC, induction range, a Level 2 charger in the driveway, and we file the DOB permit before the first wire moves. Con Edison coordination, meter pan, grounding electrode, our electricians handle all of it. Smell hot plastic near the panel? Stop reading and call our Emergency Electrician line.

How much does an electrician cost in Brooklyn, NY

Price depends on the job, the building and the access. A single Outlet and Switch Installation is a quick visit. A 200-amp Electrical Panel Upgrade in a brownstone with a cloth-wired meter pan is a full day plus permits. Plaster costs more to fish than drywall. Fourth-floor walk-ups add time. Permits and Con Ed fees show up as their own line items on our estimates. The honest answer is a written price after an electrician sees the panel in person, and that visit is free.

What Brooklyn property owners should know before hiring an electrician

Ask for the license number. NYC requires a licensed master electrician to pull permits, and unpermitted panel work surfaces the day you sell. Ask whether the electrician files with the DOB or expects you to. Ask who patches the plaster, a good crew tells you up front. Ask about aluminum wiring if the building went up between 1965 and 1973. Then get it in writing. Scope, parts, permit fees, the date.
