Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Brad Smith, Home Services Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

The lights keep tripping and you've already unplugged half the kitchen. New York has electricians who bundle in plumbing, ones who specialize in chandeliers shipped over from Italy, and everything in between. We compared the five with the strongest Google track record.

Short answer: Bond's Plumbing & Electric leads with a 4.9 rating across 140 reviews, the deepest track record here. Emco Electric Services matches that 4.9 on a smaller base and specializes in complex lighting work. Reviewer-reported pricing runs from around $200 for a fan install to $2,000-plus for larger wiring projects.

Our take: Bond's leads this list on volume, 140 reviews at a 4.9 average, though it's worth flagging that one lower review describes inconsistent follow-through, a fair caveat for a newer combined-trade business.

Emco Electric Services

4.994 Google reviews

Our take: Emco posts a 4.9 average across 94 reviews, fewer reviews than P & T below it, but its higher rating puts it ahead in this ranking. Reviewers consistently point to it for harder, more specialized lighting jobs rather than routine repairs.

Watch: 5 Best Electricians in New York (2026)

How we scored this list

Rating is the live Google average for each business. Review volume is how many customers have actually left a rating, ranked against every other electrician listing we looked at in New York. Confidence blends the two, so a business with more reviews carries more weight than one with a slightly higher score built on fewer of them. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

What electrical work costs in New York (2026)

Pricing below comes directly from what customers reported paying in their own Google reviews for jobs done by businesses on this list, not a published rate card. Treat these as reference points; get a written quote for your specific job before work starts.

JobTypical price
Fan installation$200-400
Outlet or switch installation$1-200
Electrical inspection$600-800
Larger wiring or lighting installation project$2,000+

Prices as reported by customers in their Google reviews for H&A Electrician and Emco Electric Services, verified July 2026. Individual jobs vary by scope and materials.

Electricians across New York City

Bond’s Plumbing & Electric and 56 Electric & Plumbing both work out of the West Village, H&A Electrician is based near the Financial District, Emco Electric Services covers Chelsea and out to the Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens, and P & T Electricians Midtown covers Midtown Manhattan near Lincoln Square. Between them, an electrician is reachable across most of the five boroughs.

What to ask before you hire an electrician

  • Is the electrician licensed and insured to work in New York City?
  • Will the work require a permit or DOB inspection?
  • Is the estimate itemized by job, or one flat price for everything?
  • How is emergency or after-hours work priced differently?
  • Is there a warranty on the labor and the parts installed?
  • How soon can they start, and how long will the job take?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data: live rating, review volume and how recently people are still reviewing. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which gets a badge and placement boost, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these five?

We compared electricians across New York on live Google rating, how many customers have reviewed them, and how recently those reviews are coming in, then weighed rating against volume so a newer business with a perfect score doesn’t automatically outrank one with a longer track record.

Why do some of these businesses also do plumbing?

A few electricians in New York operate as combined trade shops, offering both plumbing and electrical service from the same visit. We noted it in each business’s write-up so you know what you’re booking.

How often is this updated?

We refresh this list as new reviews and ratings come in. This version was verified in July 2026.

The bottom line

Bond’s Plumbing & Electric is the safe default, with the deepest track record on this list and the convenience of handling plumbing in the same visit. For a specialized job like a chandelier install or a full lighting redesign, Emco Electric Services is worth the call instead.
