"My experience with Perfect Electric was outstanding. I hired them to install two ceiling fan/lamps and perform routine maintenance on electrical outlets in our apartment. Chris and Chris are thorough, careful, and exceptionally knowledgeable electricians. Their work is impeccable and done at a reasonable cost. They are quick, courteous, on time and pleasant, and they kept us informed about what they were doing at every step. I highly recommend them for any electrical job!"

"Home owner in Hollis, NY Among other electrical jobs, David installed outlets in my home. I found him to be quite knowledgeable, skillful, and professional. He was punctual in his arrival on the job and he completed the job in a timely manner. He made sure his work followed “code” and left me with a safe, well done job. I also found this pricing to be quite fair and competitive. I will absolutely request to use Power On’s services in the future."

FAQs for electrical service projects in Howard Beach, NY

In some states and municipalities, licensed and registered handypersons can change a light fixture and do minor electrical work. However, you should check with your state and local licensing boards before hiring a local handyperson. In most cases, it’s safer and more practical to hire an electrician for this job. It may cost more, but hiring a licensed electrician means they’ll get the work done to code.

Special light fixtures, known as damp-rated light fixtures, are recommended in bathrooms, particularly if they're near damp areas like showers and over the bathtub. However, in most locations, they’re not a strict requirement. For safety and longevity, damp-rated fixtures are a better choice. If you work with a lighting contractor in your area, they may be able to recommend the right kinds of fixtures for your space.

Yes, it’s possible to run a second light fixture to a switch, meaning the light switch would control more than one light fixture. Several factors can impact whether it’s possible and how much it will cost. In many cases, it may be easier and more affordable for the contractor to install independent light switches. Talk to your electrician about your idea to get their feedback.
