Forest Hills Electrician

Licensed electrical work for Forest Hills Tudor homes, Forest Hills Gardens houses and the prewar co-op buildings along Queens Boulevard.

Forest Hills is our busiest neighborhood in Queens. Its housing ranges from the brick and half-timbered houses of Forest Hills Gardens to large prewar co-op and condo buildings near Austin Street and Queens Boulevard. NGM Electric has completed 14 projects in Forest Hills.

Many of these homes and buildings still run on original or long-extended wiring, small services and older panels, including Federal Pacific and fuse panels. We replace panels, upgrade services, rewire, file the DOB permit under our license and coordinate any Con Edison work.

The neighborhood

Homes and buildings in Forest Hills

Forest Hills Gardens was planned in the 1910s as a private community of Tudor-style houses, and much of the rest of the neighborhood is prewar apartment buildings and detached homes. Most of their electrical systems were not designed for today's kitchens, air conditioning and EV chargers.
