Crown Heights Residential Electrical Repair
Electrified is a family-owned electrical contractor serving Crown Heights and the surrounding Brooklyn neighborhoods. We’ve worked on everything from pre-war brownstones to modern apartments, so we understand the unique electrical challenges these homes present.
Crown Heights has its share of older buildings with electrical systems that weren’t designed for today’s power needs. We’ve helped hundreds of homeowners upgrade their panels, rewire outdated systems, and add the outlets and circuits they actually need.
Our team consists of licensed, insured electricians who know local building codes inside and out. When we do work in your home, it passes inspection the first time.

Smart Home Electrical Install Crown Heights
We handle everything from basic outlet repairs to complete electrical system upgrades. Panel replacements, smart home installations, EV charging stations, whole-house rewiring, emergency repairs – if it involves electricity in your Crown Heights home, we do it.
Many Crown Heights homes were built when families owned one television and a few lamps. Today’s homes need power for computers, charging stations, smart thermostats, security systems, and kitchen appliances that would have been unimaginable decades ago.
We upgrade electrical systems to handle modern life while respecting the character of these classic Brooklyn homes. That means running new circuits where you need them, installing GFCI outlets in kitchens and bathrooms, and making sure your electrical panel can handle your actual power needs without constantly tripping breakers.
How much does it cost to upgrade an electrical panel in Crown Heights?
Panel upgrade costs in Crown Heights typically range from $1,500 to $4,000, depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the installation. Most Crown Heights homes need either a 200-amp or 400-amp panel to handle modern electrical demands.
The price includes the new panel, installation labor, permits, and inspection. We provide written estimates with no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’re paying upfront. Many homeowners find that a panel upgrade actually saves money long-term by preventing electrical problems and reducing energy waste from an inefficient old system.
Do I need permits for electrical work in Crown Heights?
Yes, most electrical work in Crown Heights requires permits from the NYC Department of Buildings. This includes panel upgrades, new circuits, major repairs, and any work that involves opening walls or changing your home’s electrical capacity.
As licensed electricians, we handle all permit applications and inspections for you. We know exactly what the city requires and make sure everything is done to code. Trying to skip permits might save money upfront, but it creates problems when you sell your home or file an insurance claim.
The permit process typically adds 1-2 weeks to project timelines, but it ensures your work is legal, safe, and won’t cause headaches down the road.
How often should I have my home's electrical system inspected?
Crown Heights homeowners should have electrical inspections every 3-5 years, or immediately if you’re experiencing frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or burning smells. Homes over 40 years old need more frequent inspections because older wiring and panels are more likely to develop problems.
During an inspection, we check your electrical panel, test outlets and switches, examine visible wiring, and identify potential safety hazards. We also look for code violations that could cause problems during a home sale or insurance claim.
Most inspections take 1-2 hours and cost much less than dealing with electrical emergencies or fire damage. Think of it like getting your car serviced – regular maintenance prevents bigger, more expensive problems.
Can you install smart home devices in older Crown Heights homes?
Absolutely. We install smart thermostats, lighting controls, security systems, and other connected devices in Crown Heights homes of all ages. The key is making sure your electrical system can support these technologies properly.
Older homes sometimes need additional circuits or outlet upgrades to power smart devices reliably. We assess your current electrical capacity and recommend any necessary improvements before installing smart home equipment.
Smart home installations typically take a few hours to a full day, depending on how many devices you’re adding. We make sure everything connects to your WiFi network properly and show you how to use the controls before we leave.
What should I do if my power goes out in Crown Heights?
First, check if your neighbors have power. If it’s just your home, the problem is likely with your electrical panel or main service connection. Don’t attempt to fix it yourself – electrical problems can be dangerous and should only be handled by licensed electricians.
Call us immediately for emergency service. We’re available 24/7 for power outages and electrical emergencies in Crown Heights. We’ll diagnose the problem quickly and restore your power safely.
If the outage affects your whole block, contact Con Edison to report it. Keep flashlights and battery-powered devices handy, and avoid using candles or generators indoors. Once power is restored, have us inspect your electrical system if you experienced any unusual smells, sparks, or sounds before the outage.
How long does residential electrical work typically take in Crown Heights?
Simple repairs like fixing outlets or switches usually take 1-2 hours. Panel upgrades typically require a full day, while whole-house rewiring can take 3-5 days depending on your home’s size and complexity.
We provide realistic timelines upfront and stick to them. Most delays in Crown Heights come from permit processing or discovering unexpected issues once we open walls in older homes. We communicate throughout the project so you always know what’s happening.
Emergency repairs get priority scheduling – we typically arrive within 2-4 hours for urgent electrical problems. For non-emergency work, we usually schedule within a week of your initial call.
