Electricians in Queens, NY
Two-family houses, attached rows, garden apartments and the Rockaways. Queens has more one- and two-family homes than most of the city, and their panels, meters and basements keep us busy.

We serve Queens for emergencies and planned work: service and panel upgrades, two-family meter work, knob-and-tube replacement, EV chargers, generators and basement wiring. Con Edison supplies most of Queens, while the Rockaway Peninsula gets its power from LIPA through PSEG Long Island, which changes who we coordinate with on a service job.

Much of Queens is detached and semi-attached houses with driveways, many of them two-family homes with a meter for each unit and a basement that has been finished, flooded or both. Panels in these houses are often original or one upgrade old, and the wiring can include knob-and-tube in the attic and aluminum branch circuits from the 1960s and 70s.
Typical calls are breakers that trip when the air conditioner runs, meter pans worn by weather, generator and EV charger installs that need a load calculation first, and basement circuits after a storm. The commercial strips along the avenues add restaurants, salons and small offices to the mix.

What to know about Queens
Con Edison serves more than 737,000 electric customers in Queens, with electric and gas in the northern half and electric only in the south, but it does not serve the whole borough. The Rockaway Peninsula is supplied by LIPA through PSEG Long Island, which also serves Nassau and Suffolk. On a Rockaway service upgrade or meter job, PSEG Long Island is the utility we schedule with, not Con Edison.
Who supplies the power
Con Edison for most of the borough; PSEG Long Island, operating LIPA's system, on the Rockaway Peninsula.
