The neighborhood

Homes and buildings on the Upper West Side

The neighborhood combines grand prewar apartment houses, rowhouse blocks between the avenues, newer condo towers and busy retail corridors. Each brings different electrical work.

  • Prewar co-ops on Central Park West, West End Avenue and Riverside Drive
  • Brownstones and rowhouses on the side streets
  • Condo towers with tenant panels and meter rooms
  • Retail and restaurants on Broadway, Amsterdam and Columbus

FAQ

Upper West Side electrical questions

Can my co-op apartment get more power?

Often yes, but it depends on the riser feeding your apartment and the building's total service. We check what the building allows and work with the managing agent before any upgrade is designed.

Do you work with Upper West Side managing agents?

Yes. We regularly work in buildings run by firms such as Veritas, Solstice, FirstService Residential and Douglas Elliman, and send them our license and insurance before work starts.

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.
