Boerum Hill Electrician

Licensed electrical work for Boerum Hill brownstones and rowhouses, small apartment buildings, newer condos and the shops along Atlantic Avenue and Smith Street.

The Boerum Hill Historic District protects blocks of 19th-century rowhouses on streets like Pacific, Dean and Bergen. NGM Electric has completed 6 projects in Boerum Hill and 40 within a mile, and our shop is a few minutes away in Red Hook.

Many Boerum Hill houses still run on small services and older wiring. We handle service upgrades, panels and full rewires, file DOB permits under our license, coordinate Con Edison work, and plan around original plaster, stoops and facades.

FAQ

Boerum Hill electrical questions

How do I know if my brownstone needs a service upgrade?

Common signs are a 60 or 100 amp service, a fuse box, breakers that trip when the AC runs, or plans for central air, a heat pump, an induction range or an EV charger. We can check your service and tell you what it can handle.

How close is your crew?

Our shop is at 222 Lorraine Street in Red Hook, a short drive from Boerum Hill, so we can usually schedule visits quickly.

Do you handle the permits?

Yes. We file the electrical permit with the NYC Department of Buildings under our license, #4876, schedule the inspection, and coordinate any Con Edison work the job needs.

What does a service call cost?

Service calls are $295 for the first hour of diagnosis or repair and $110 for each additional hour. Emergency service is $450 for the first hour.

★★★★★

“Mike was honest and reminded me about fixtures having to be UL listed for my building which literally delayed me hiring him. Then George comes on the appointment date and does a great job. He was courteous, friendly and didn't leave a mess. Price was the best of 3 bids I received. All around satisfaction.”
