NYC Apartment Electrical Work — We Know the Rules

Electrical work in an NYC apartment or co-op isn’t just about knowing how to wire things — it’s about knowing the building, the co-op board requirements, the DOB permit process, and the NYC Electrical Code. AE Electric has performed electrical upgrades in buildings across every Manhattan neighborhood and throughout the other four boroughs.

We handle the permit filing when it’s required. We document the work so your managing agent or co-op board has what they need. And we don’t leave you with a job that will fail inspection.

Older NYC Homes & Apartments: Special Electrical Challenges

If your NYC home was built before 1980, there’s a good chance it has one or more of the following issues that our residential electricians can address:

Knob-and-tube wiring — original to pre-war buildings, now a fire risk and insurance liability
Aluminum wiring — common in 1960s–1970s buildings, can loosen and arc at connections
60-amp or 100-amp panels — undersized for modern electrical loads, especially in apartments with in-unit laundry, AC, and home offices
No GFCI protection in kitchens and bathrooms — now required by NYC code even in older buildings
Two-prong (ungrounded) outlets throughout the apartment — a problem for electronics and appliances

We’ll assess your situation, explain your options clearly, and give you a flat-rate price before any work begins. No pressure, no upselling.
