Electricians in Manhattan, New York, NY
Co-ops, condos, prewar walk-ups and storefronts, from our office on Fulton Street. Most Manhattan jobs run through a building: a super, a board, an alteration agreement and a riser that feeds every apartment above it.

We work across Manhattan from our lower Manhattan office, for emergencies at any hour and for planned work such as panel upgrades, rewiring, EV and induction circuits and commercial fit-outs. Permitted work is filed with the NYC Department of Buildings, and most apartment work also needs the building's approval.

Manhattan electrical work is shaped by the building more than the apartment. In a co-op or condo, the board decides what can be added, the managing agent wants an insurance certificate before anyone arrives, and the riser decides how much power a unit can draw. We plan around all three before the first wire is pulled.
The jobs that come up most are panel and riser questions, load letters for new appliances, rewiring in plaster walls, and breakers that trip when the air conditioner and the kitchen run together. Commercial calls are just as common: storefront signs, restaurant equipment and office fit-outs on tight schedules.

What to know about Manhattan
Con Edison supplies both electricity and gas in Manhattan, with more than 713,000 electric customers and about 362,000 gas customers. Our office sits on Fulton Street, inside the Department of Buildings' electrical-permit district for lower Manhattan, where DOB calendars list electrical service equipment approvals for addresses on the street. That matters on permit-heavy jobs downtown and in the Financial District, where the filing and the inspection set the schedule.

Permits and inspections
Permitted electrical work is filed with the NYC Department of Buildings through DOB NOW: Build and inspected by the city before it is signed off. Co-op and condo boards add their own step: most want plans, an insurance certificate and a load letter before they approve the alteration.
