Being an electrician is not for the faint of heart
To succeed in New York City, an electrician must be innovative, dedicated and able to modernize old electrical systems to mesh with new technology and standards.
Also: insured, licensed and able to obtain the necessary permits. Optional: Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.
Electricians work on installations in new buildings and they revive deteriorating electrical systems in old buildings. They take care of circuit breakers, code compliance issues and energy efficiency, and they solve electrical problems inside and outside your home or business.
Who do you want?
• You want an electrician who knows the code or knows someone who can clearly and quickly explain it. Like other communities, New York City follows the National Electrical Code, a must for electricians. Unlike many communities, New York City also has made changes in some areas to make the electrical code more demanding than the national code.
• You want an electrician who is adept at getting permits as timely as possible and who follows the guidelines closely lest a city inspector object. Otherwise you will lose time and money on your project.
• You want an electrician who is experienced enough to know how to deal with the antiquated and overworked electrical systems – and who knows how to implement new technology which moves your project ahead.
• You want an electrician who responds promptly to emergencies and who takes time to listen to your wishes for a project rather than just doing what he feels.
Before you choose an electrician, ask friends and business associates for referrals. Interview three electricians and ask for their quotes in writing. That experience will help you select an electrical contractor who inspires your confidence.
