Hear from Our Customers
You flip the switch and nothing. Complete darkness. Your refrigerator stops humming, your phone’s dying, and you’re wondering if this is another one of those Flatlands blackouts that lasts for days.
Here’s what happens when you call us instead of waiting it out: Your power gets restored within the hour, not tomorrow morning. The actual problem gets fixed permanently, not patched with electrical tape and prayers. Your family stays safe because we find and eliminate the hazards other electricians miss.
We’ve worked through every major outage in Flatlands, including that brutal 2019 heat wave when Con Ed cut power to over 30,000 homes in your neighborhood. We know exactly what goes wrong in this area and how to fix it fast.
We’re family-owned and we’ve been keeping Brooklyn families safe for years. We know Flatlands because we work here regularly – not just during emergencies, but for everyday electrical needs too.
When that massive power outage hit southeast Brooklyn and left your area in the dark for over 24 hours, we were here. When Con Ed had to distribute ice at Avenue K and East 59th Street because the grid failed, our trucks were already responding to calls throughout your neighborhood.
We’re fully licensed, completely insured, and we actually answer our phones when you call at 2 AM. No automated systems, no “we’ll call you back tomorrow.” When your electricity fails in Flatlands, we’re already loading our truck.
You call us and talk to a real person immediately, not a recording. We ask the right questions to understand your emergency and dispatch our nearest licensed electrician to your Flatlands location. Most calls get a response within 60 minutes.
Our electrician arrives with a fully loaded service truck – no trips to Home Depot while you wait in the dark. We start diagnosing immediately using professional testing equipment, not guesswork. Within minutes, we know what’s wrong and can explain it in plain English.
Before we touch anything, you get an upfront price. No surprises, no hidden fees, no “we’ll figure it out as we go.” Then we fix the problem completely – not a band-aid solution that fails next week. We test everything, clean up our work area, and make sure your electrical system is running safely before we leave your property.

We handle the full range of electrical emergencies Flatlands residents face: complete power outages, tripping circuit breakers, outlets that spark or smoke, flickering lights that won’t stay on, and electrical panels that keep shutting down. If it involves electricity and it can’t wait until morning, we fix it.
Flatlands sits in that southeast Brooklyn corridor that gets hammered during summer heat waves. Your electrical infrastructure takes a beating when temperatures soar and everyone’s running air conditioning. We’ve responded to hundreds of emergency calls during those grid failures, and we know exactly how to restore power when the system is stressed.
We also handle the dangerous situations that require immediate attention: burning smells from electrical panels, outlets that shock you when touched, and wiring that’s gotten hot enough to melt. These aren’t “wait and see” problems – they’re safety hazards that need professional attention right now. We find the source, eliminate the danger, and make sure it doesn’t happen again.
We typically arrive within 60 minutes of your call, often faster. We keep licensed electricians positioned throughout Brooklyn, including the Flatlands area, specifically so we can respond quickly when families need help.
During neighborhood-wide outages or severe weather events, response times may extend slightly, but we prioritize the most dangerous situations first. If you’re dealing with sparking wires, burning smells, or electrical hazards that pose immediate safety risks, we’ll get to you as our top priority.
We don’t operate on “sometime tomorrow” schedules or give you 4-hour windows. When you call us for an electrical emergency, we give you a realistic arrival time and we stick to it. Your emergency doesn’t wait for business hours, and neither do we.
We respond to every type of electrical emergency: complete power loss, circuit breakers that won’t reset or keep tripping, outlets that spark or give off burning smells, lights that flicker constantly or won’t turn on, and electrical panels that shut down repeatedly. We also handle electrical fire situations and their aftermath.
Flatlands has unique challenges because of its location in southeast Brooklyn’s power grid. During heat waves, your area often experiences the most severe outages when Con Ed has to cut power to protect the electrical infrastructure. We’ve worked through every major outage in your neighborhood, including that 2019 incident that left over 30,000 homes without power.
We also handle urgent repairs that create safety hazards: faulty wiring that’s overheating, GFCI outlets that won’t function properly, and electrical systems that aren’t operating within safe parameters. If there’s an electrical problem that could endanger your family or property, we treat it as an emergency regardless of the time or day.
Absolutely. Every electrician we send to your Flatlands home is fully licensed by New York State and carries comprehensive insurance coverage. We’re also registered as a certified electrical contractor, which means we meet all requirements to perform electrical work throughout Brooklyn.
Our licensing goes beyond just having the paperwork. Our electricians complete extensive ongoing training, stay current with all New York electrical codes, and maintain certifications in the latest safety procedures. When we work on your electrical system, you can be confident it’s being done correctly and up to code.
We also carry full liability insurance and workers’ compensation coverage. You never have to worry about being held responsible if something goes wrong, and you’re protected against any accidents or damage. Many unlicensed “electricians” leave homeowners exposed to serious liability – we make sure that never happens to our customers.
We provide transparent, upfront pricing for all emergency work. When our electrician arrives at your Flatlands home, we’ll diagnose the problem and give you a clear estimate before starting any repairs. You’ll know exactly what you’re paying, with no surprise charges or hidden fees.
Our emergency service call includes the diagnostic time and basic troubleshooting, so you’re not paying extra just to find out what’s wrong. If the problem is something simple that takes just a few minutes to fix, we’ll often handle it as part of the service call without additional charges.
We believe emergency situations are stressful enough without worrying about being overcharged. Our pricing is fair and competitive – we’re not trying to take advantage when you’re in a tough spot. We want to solve your problem quickly and affordably so you can get back to your normal routine.
Your safety comes first. If you smell burning, see sparks, or suspect an electrical fire, shut off power at your main breaker if you can reach it safely. Call 911 immediately if you see flames or heavy smoke. Don’t touch any electrical equipment that appears damaged or is making unusual sounds.
If you’ve lost power but it’s not an immediate safety hazard, avoid using candles which create fire risks. Use flashlights or battery-powered lights instead. Don’t run extension cords from neighbors’ homes or attempt electrical repairs yourself – this often creates more dangerous situations.
Check your main electrical panel for tripped breakers if you’re comfortable doing so. Sometimes a simple reset solves the problem. However, don’t reset any breaker more than once. If it trips again immediately, that indicates a serious problem that requires professional diagnosis. Take a photo of your electrical panel if possible – it helps our electrician prepare for the specific equipment we’ll be working with.
Emergency electrical repair costs vary based on the specific problem and complexity of the fix. Simple issues like replacing a faulty GFCI outlet or resetting a tripped breaker typically run $150-400. More complex problems involving damaged wiring, electrical panel repairs, or safety hazard corrections can range from $400-1200 depending on the scope of work needed.
We always provide upfront pricing before beginning any work, so you’ll never be surprised by the final bill. Our prices are competitive and fair – we’re not trying to exploit emergency situations. We want to fix your problem properly at a reasonable cost that fits your budget.
Remember that emergency electrical repairs are almost always less expensive than dealing with the consequences of ignoring the problem. Electrical issues that seem minor can quickly become major safety hazards or cause extensive property damage. We’ll always recommend the most cost-effective solution that keeps your family safe and your electrical system running reliably.
